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.
