East Division Star of the Week: Jack Ford, Forward, New Jersey Titans

Even though he only appeared in one game this past weekend, New Jersey Titans forward Jack Ford, 18, made it count. The 6’1/185 lbs. native of Stamford, CT, played in his first game on Saturday since November 20th and put up two goals and two assists in a 9-2 win over the Maryland Black Bears. Ford also recorded the eventual game-winning goal in the 2nd period and was a +4 in the game. For the season, Ford has seven points in seven games played so far for the Titans. “We couldn’t be prouder of Jack on his efforts. Jack hasn’t been in the lineup much recently but responded to getting his opportunity.  He has continued to work hard and improve.  He wanted to make an impression and he did.  He sparked our team in a much-needed game for our club.  He went to the net and played hard and he was able to contribute a great deal to our offensive attack on Saturday evening.  We are looking forward to Jack continuing his strong play next Friday night against Johnstown,” said Titans head coach Craig Doremus.

On Saturday, he had a hat-trick in a 9-5 win. For the season, Helgeson currently leads the Brown Bears in scoring with eight points in six games played. “Max has been very good for our team over this past year and a half.
