HOUGHTON — Michigan Tech forward Stiven Sardarian has been named the CCHA Forward of the Month for November, the conference announced on Wednesday.

“I think he’s got tremendous offensive instincts,” said Huskies coach Bill Muckalt, when asked about his thoughts on the senior. “I think, not just for him in particular, but when you look at the macro picture, and you look at wanting to play at the highest level or play in the National Hockey League, the details and habits of the game are extremely important. I really like the 1:45 or two minutes that he’ll touch pucks, and the creativity, really, is fun to watch. 

“But, you’re on the ice for another 18, 19 minutes. What are you doing with those habits? It’s kind of like playing pool. The more you give up, the more you need to make. So, that’s something that we’re going to continue to work with. I think he’s shown some really good strides, but it’s more for his development too.”

Sardarian scored six goals and added seven assists in nine games in November, accumulating at least one point in eight of the nine contests. His 13 points ranked third in the NCAA. Sardarian had two goals and one assist against Northern Michigan (Nov. 7) and St. Thomas (Nov. 28).

Sardarian is tied for the nation’s lead with 17 points and ranks sixth nationally with 23 points, leading the CCHA in both categories. He ranks fourth in the CCHA with a plus 11 rating.

Michigan Tech is 8-6-2 overall and 5-3-2 in the CCHA and travels to Ferris State next weekend for the final CCHA series of 2025.
