Performance of the Week: Houghton's Jack Sayen
March 12, 2026
Jack Sayen ♦ Houghton
Senior ♦ Hockey
The Gremlins senior forward capped his high school career with a game his community will never forget. Sayen scored the opening goal of Houghton’s Division 3 championship game against Orchard Lake St. Mary’s, then a full hat trick during the third period including the tying and go-ahead goals in a 5-2 win that earned the Gremlins their first Finals title since 1982.
Sayen was the third player in MHSAA history to have three goals in one period of a championship game, and one of four players – and first since 1993 – to score four goals in a Final. He also had two assists in Houghton’s 4-0 Semifinal win over Traverse Bay Reps and finished this season with 19 goals and 21 assists in making the Division 3 all-state second team. The Gremlins entered the postseason ranked No. 2 and finished the winter 25-6-1.
