HALIFAX, Nova Scotia – Miami University sophomore forward Red Savage assisted on the game-winning goal 2:06 into overtime as the U.S. National Junior Team captured the bronze medal at the IIHF World Junior Championship today in Canada. Team USA defeated Sweden 8-7 in a thriller to win bronze.
Savage, one of the team's alternate captains, finished the event with three goals and three assists in seven appearances. He had previously represented his country in the 2022 World Juniors and has also played with the U.S. National Development Program, the U17 and U18 National Teams, and the Americans' entry in the 2019 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.
The Detroit Red Wings draftee (2021, fourth round) has four goals and six assists in 16 games for Miami Hockey this year, building on a solid debut season that saw him produce 16 points (6-10-16) and earn NCHC Rookie of the Week honors a league-high four times.
Savage and the RedHawks resume conference play Friday, Jan. 13 at top-ranked Denver.
