SEPTEMBER 1 • 2022 | 35

was followed by a 7-1 win
over Orange County, earning
Detroit a berth in the bronze
medal game.
The four Detroit players
piled up goals and assists
during the tournament and
were team leaders on the ice
and bench.
Ben-Ezra (nine goals,
six assists), Gesund (five
goals, six assists), Hutten
(three goals, eight assists)
and Juszak (five goals, five
assists) each reached double
digits in points.
All four play high school
hockey.
Ben-Ezra, a 5-1 dynamo,
plays for Bloomfield Hills.
His description on the
coaches’ Excel sheet read,
“Super high hockey IQ,
grinder, often able to get in
tight spaces given his small
size, amazing edgework.”
Scott Hutten called Ben-
Ezra an “Energizer bunny, a
great skater.”
Lucas Hutten and Juszak
play for Novi, and Gesund
plays for Walled Lake
Northern.
Now that Lucas Hutten

has had a taste of playing
hockey in an event for
Jewish athletes — he also
played for Detroit in the
2019 Maccabi Games held
in the Motor City — he has
his eyes set on another big
Jewish sports event.
He wants to compete in
the Maccabiah Games in
Israel, also known as the
Jewish Olympics, which will
be held next in 2025.
“I absolutely want to play
hockey for Team USA in the
Maccabiah Games,” he said.
Meanwhile, he’s relish-
ing his Maccabi Games
experiences in San Diego,
which included staying in
a dorm at the University of
San Diego along with a few
hundred other male ath-
letes because there weren’t
enough host families.
“Being in the dorm was
fine. We actually weren’t
there very much. It was great
meeting Jewish guys from
all over who played different
sports,” he said.
