In 1951, John Mayasich of Eveleth scored 7 goals in a tournament game against Southwest.
“John Mayasich brought college hockey to a new plateau,” said John Mariucci. “He was the Wayne Gretzky of his time, and if he were playing pro hockey today, he would simply be a bigger, stronger, back-checking Gretzky. The words to describe him haven’t been invented. When I say he’s the best, that’s totally inadequate.”
