Red Wings draft pick Sam Stange takes step toward U.S. national junior team

Last week, Sam Stange was a fourth-round pick of the Detroit Red Wings in the 2020 National Hockey League draft, a 6-foot-1, 200-pound power forward who will make his Big Ten hockey debut next month for the University of Wisconsin coached by former NHL forward and ex-Red Wings assistant coach Tony Granato.

This week, Stange was right back on the ice as one of two Detroit prospects (Robert Mastrosimone of Boston University was a second-round pick in 2019) who were among 42 players at the five-day U.S. National Junior Team Evaluation Camp, which wrapped up on Tuesday at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth.
