At UMass, where he has contributed eight goals and nine assists in 23 appearances so far as a college freshman and earned a nod in mid-December as the Hockey East rookie of the week, Suniev is getting schooled on his defensive details. As he said in an interview earlier this season: “I would say that I know how to play with the puck, but playing without the puck, that’s the biggest thing for me to focus on right now. That will definitely help me, establishing those habits right now, to be better at the next level.”

He just needs to learn to play without the puck better, and that’s nothing we didn’t expect. He’s growing, and he’s very coachable. He wants to be coached. He wants to know everything he needs to know to get to the NHL.
