Quote:Sasson had a four-point game of his own on Saturday, with three helpers. How his goal that night came about won’t show up on any box score, though. More’s the pity, from Ferschweiler’s telling of it.

“Jason was on a 2-on-0 breakaway with an empty net, and he passed the puck to Max Sasson so that he could get the empty-net goal instead of (Polin) scoring his fourth,” Ferschweiler said. “He made the whole play. He skated all the way around the D, the whole deal, was going in and passed to Max. I said, ‘Poley, what’s going on?’ He goes, ‘I had enough today, Coach,’ so he gave one to Sasson.

“He’s the epitome of leadership and professionalism, and is just a great kid, as well. I have zero, ever, problems with him. He’s a world-class kid, a very, very good hockey player and he does it right every day. It’s the perfect situation for a coach to have that kind of leader on your team.”

Ferschweiler feels Polin is the best defensive forward in the NCHC, but after a six-goal weekend, what he does around the other team’s net is getting more attention.
