Lake Superior State University announced the signing of New York native Jason Sessa to a National Letter of Intent today. Sessa, a native of Deer Park, N.Y., led the United States Hockey League (USHL) in goal scoring while still a midget-aged player with the Rochester Mustangs this season. The 6-1, 175-pound right wing collected 45 goals in 40 games and totalled 67 points to place sixth in the USHL scoring race "Jason is an excellent goal-scorer and skater," said Head Coach Jeff Jackson. "He needs to work on his strength this summer, but we envision him as an impact player." Sessa is projected as a second-round pick in this year's NHL draft by NHL Central Scouting. "He comes from the same program that produced Kurt Miller, Jay Ness and Keith Aldridge," said Jackson. "Jason has great character and desire. We look forward to his addition to our program." Sessa joins two other recruits who signed with LSSU during the November signing period. They are: *Mike Kucsulain, 6-4, 205, LW/C, Presently playing for Compuware in Junior National Championship. Compiled 21 goals and 60 points in 33 regular-season games. Troy, Michigan native. *Trevor Demmans, 6-0, 200, D, Led SJHL in scoring by defenseman with 17 goals and 58 points for the Nipawin Hawks.
