John Mayasich

Mayasich won the Western Collegiate Hockey Association scoring title in 1954 and 1955 and was an All-American three years in a row at his university.In 2011, Mayasich was ranked No 1 on the Minneapolis Star Tribune's list of "Minnesota's 100 Greatest Players in High School Hockey History".While he still holds most state tournament records, a pair of Gophers, Dave Spehar and John Pohl, have since broken his all-time career scoring mark.Mayasich did briefly play some minor league hockey for the St. Paul Saints and Minneapolis Millers as well as permanently for the amateur Green Bay Bobcats,[6] earning extra money, but his professional career was in the broadcasting industry.After earlier positions, John joined Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc. (St. Paul) as General Manager of KS95 FM, guiding its growth to become one of the highest-rated major market FMs in the country.
