HOCKEY: A HUGE Weekend Coming Up For The Bulldogs

Taylor Nelson

It should be all business this weekend for Ferris State University, the top-ranked college hockey team in the nation, as it hosts Bowling Green State University in Ewigleben Ice Arena.

The Bulldogs need a sweep and at least one loss from Western Michigan University this weekend to clinch the regular-season Central Collegiate Hockey Association championship. It would be a great cap to what has been a phenomenal regular season of college hockey for the Bulldogs of head coach Bob Daniels.

This week, as Ferris has enjoyed the local, regional, statewide and national spotlight that has come with its No. 1 national ranking, Daniels has the task of keeping his team focused on the goals that are ahead. Ferris can finish first in the CCHA during the regular season, win the league tournament, earn a bid to the NCAA Tournament (for the first time since 2003) and who knows beyond those potential accomplishments.

Ferris has to stay focused and keep its eyes on the prize. Coming to Big Rapids is a dangerous Bowling Green team that is capable of winning. The Bulldogs must be sharp.
