6’0”, 187 lb. senior LW Jason Salvaggio of the South Kent Selects U-18 Team has committed to UConn for the fall of ’14.
A 10/1/94 birthdate from Hanson, Mass., Salvaggio played for Xaverian HS before arriving at South Kent as a true junior last year.
In the early going this season, Salvaggio has been on fire, and leads the prep team in scoring with a 17-7-24 line in 13 games played.
“He’s an up-and-down the wing type with pretty good size,” says his coach,Matt Plante. “He plays a very good north-south style of game and possesses a wicked release to his shot. This year he’s really identified his strength as a player. He’s looking to shoot more and to get in good shooting areas. He can grind, he’s physical, he’s around the puck a lot, and he plays with energy and jam. He flew under the radar for awhile, but now he's really started to blossom. UConn got him at the right time.”
In NHL Central Scouting’s Players to Watch list, released two weeks ago, Salvaggio was ranked as a “C” prospect, meaning Central sees him as a having 4th to 7th round potential. Salvaggio will play in the USHL for a year before matriculating at UConn.
