only six goals in our five 
games. But that was a super 
fun team to coach and the 
parents were great.”
Gesund, a Commerce 
Township resident, and 
Hutten, who lives in Novi, 
each played travel hockey 
until they went to high 
school.
They enjoy playing 
hockey now for Walled 
Lake Northern and Novi, 
respectively.
“I love it. We have really 
good crowds for our home 
games at the Lakeland Ice 
Arena,” Gesund said.
Gesund said he was about 
5-foot-2 and weighed 110 
pounds when he played 
hockey for Detroit at the 
2019 Maccabi Games.
He’s now 5-7, 130, not 
a big guy, “but I’m super 
quick on the ice, like a 
rocket,” he said with a 
laugh.
Hutten also isn’t one of 
the bigger guys on the ice 
when he plays for Novi. 
He’s 5-foot-8, 140.
Detroit athletes also will 
compete in 14U baseball, 

14U boys basketball, 14U 
boys soccer, girls soccer, 
girls basketball, tennis, 
swimming and dance at 
the Maccabi Games in San 
Diego.
There also are 
opportunities for Detroit 
athletes to compete in 16U 
boys basketball and 16U 
baseball.
Detroit teens ages 13-16 
interested in participating 
in the Maccabi Games 
should contact Detroit 
delegation head Karen 
Gordon at karengordon44@
icloud.com.
There also is information 
at www.maccabidetroit.

All Maccabi Games 
participants in San Diego 
including athletes must be 
vaccinated against COVID-
19. Host family members 
who can be vaccinated must 
be vaccinated.
Other COVID-19 
mitigations will be 
announced later.
