Isaiah Saville of Anchorage earned plenty of ice time for Team USA at the World Junior Summer Showcase in Plymouth, Michigan.
The 18-year-old started games against Sweden and Finland during the week-long camp in preparation for the 2020 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship.
Saville, of West High fame, turned aside 19 shots in a 4-2 win over Sweden. He started well against Finland but things didn’t end that way in a 6-5 loss.
