Overtime Notes
Heading into the 2015-2016 season, the Falcons
own a 72-89-124 record (.470) in 285 contests
that have reached sudden-death overtime. BG
has been involved in one of college hockey’s 30
longest overtime affairs, including the secondlengthiest NCAA Tournament game of all time
(17th longest overall) which saw the Orange and
Brown defeat Minnesota-Duluth (5-4) in four overtimes (97:11) for the national title in March of 1984.
The Falcons’ other quadruple-overtime game saw
BG defeat Ferris State (5-4) at the Ice Arena in
CCHA quarterfinal play after 92:10 of action. The
Falcons have also been involved in three triple
overtime games, winning one.
• BGSU played seven overtime games in 201415, including three against Northern Michigan. The
teams skated to a 5-5 tie in Marquette early in the
year and NMU earned a 3-2 overtime win at the
BGSU Ice Arena late in the regular season. The
Falcons earned revenge though, on a Tyler Spezia
overtime score for a 3-2 win at home in game one
of the first round of the WCHA playoffs.
• Joe Louis Arena has been unfriendly to the
Falcons as BGSU is 0-7-0 all-time in overtime
games in the arena.
• In BG’s first year of varsity hockey (1969-70),
the Falcons played five overtime games, and there
was not a goal scored in any of the extra periods.
Four of the five games ended in 2-2 deadlocks with
all four 2-2 ties coming at the BGSU Ice Arena.
• During the 1971-72 season, the final five
games of the season went into OT. BG went 0-2-2
in the first four before winning the season finale
over Ohio University for third place in the CCHA
Tournament in St. Louis.
• The 1977-78 season was the only year in
which BG did not play an overtime contest.
• The Falcons captured a school-record five
overtime victories during the 1983-84 season,
including an 8-7 total-goals OT series win at Boston University in the opening round of the NCAA
Tournament.
• BG skated in a school-record 11 overtime
games during the 1991-92 season compiling a
2-4-5 record. The Falcons matched that mark in
the 2003-04 season, finishing with a record nine
ties (1-1-9).
• During the 1996-97 season, the Falcons
skated to their first 0-0 overtime tie in the regularseason finale against Michigan State at the Ice
Arena. The scoreless OT draw marked only the
second in CCHA history.
• BG has been involved in three regularseason tie games in which OT was not played,
including a game at United States International
University where the extra period was not contested because the ice was reserved for public
skating. Three other Falcon postseason tie games
did not require OT because they were played as
part of a total-goals series format (OT was not
used in the first game and was only utilized for the
second contest if both teams had the same goal
count after 120 minutes of play).
• The highest scoring overtime affairs for the
Falcons were a 9-8 loss at Notre Dame on Jan.
22, 1982, and a 9-8 triumph over Michigan at the
BGSU Ice Arena on Jan. 13, 1990.
• Jordan Sigalet became the first goaltender in
school history to post two 0-0 overtime ties when
he blanked Lake Superior twice during the 2003-04
season.

THE BG HOCKEY STORY
One national championship, nine league
regular-season titles, five conference playoff
crowns, and an all-time winning mark of nearly
60 percent are just a few of the many impressive accomplishments associated with hockey at
Bowling Green State University.
The Falcons’ tradition-rich program begins its
46th season of competition in 2014-15, including
just its second season in the Western Hockey
Association.
Elevated from the club to varsity level in
November 1968, BG has averaged nearly 20
wins a season. There have been 21 winning
campaigns and 18 years in which the Falcons
have claimed 20 or more victories.
Highlights along the way include five seasons
of 30 or more wins: 1977-78 (31-8-0), 1978-79
(37-6-2), 1983-84 (34-8-2), 1986-87 (33-10-2),
and 1987-88 (30-13-2).
Those five banner seasons produced four
CCHA championships, one league playoff title,
and five NCAA Tournament appearances, which
resulted in finishes of third, fifth, and first place,
and a pair of quarterfinal berths, respectively.
The 1983-84 squad, coached by former head
man Jerry York, was ranked No. 1 in the country
for much of the season until injuries slowed the
Falcons as the CCHA Tournament rolled around.
However, the Orange and Brown rebounded
in the NCAA quarterfinals at Boston University
where BG rallied from three goals down after
the first game of the total-goals series to tie and
eventually defeat the Terriers in overtime, 8-7,
to advance to the “Final Four.” The Falcons
claimed the decisive game by the score of 5-1.
BG then downed Michigan State, 2-1, and
Minnesota-Duluth, 5-4 in four overtimes, at the
Olympic Center in Lake Placid, New York, to
capture the school’s only NCAA Division I championship. Gino Cavallini produced the game
winner after 97:11 of action.
BG holds the distinction of having the first
non-Western Collegiate Hockey Association
player ever to be selected to the Titan West AllAmerica unit.
Ken Morrow, a long-time defenseman with the
N.Y. Islanders, accomplished the feat in 1978,
two years before he would become the first player ever to win both an Olympic gold medal and a
Stanley Cup championship in the same year.
Morrow and former Falcon teammate Mark
Wells played on the United States’ 1980 Olympic “Miracle on Ice” team. They were preceded
by BG products Bob Dobek and Doug Ross in
the 1976 Olympics. Brian Stankiewicz, a former
netminder for the Falcons, represented Austria
in both 1988 and 1994, while Kevin Dahl helped
Canada to a silver medal in 1992.
Joining Stankiewicz in the 1994 Lillehammer
Games were Greg Parks and Pierrick Maia.
Like Dahl, Parks assisted Team Canada to a
silver medal, while Maia competed for his native
France.
Defenseman Rob Blake led Team Canada to
the 2002 Olympic Gold Medal (Salt Lake City)
and participated in the 1998 Olympic Games in
Nagano, Japan, as a member of Team Canada.
The Orange and Brown has produced two

winners of the Hobey Baker Memorial Award,
symbolic of college hockey’s most outstanding
player. In all, the Falcons have had eight finalists for the award since it was initiated in 1981.
Brian Holzinger, a centerman, received the
honor in 1995, making BG the only CCHA
school to have more than one recipient.
Winger George McPhee, the first Falcon icer
to have his uniform number (9) retired, became
the league’s first Hobey winner in 1982. That
same year, McPhee and teammates Brian MacLellan, a backliner, and center Brian Hills were
named All-Americans.
BG’s list of All-Americans has grown many
times since. Hills repeated in 1983, followed in
1984 by center Dan Kane and rearguard Garry
Galley.
Right wing Jamie Wansbrough captured
second-team honors in 1985-86, while goalie
Gary Kruzich landed first-team distinction in both
1985-86 and 1986-87.
During the 1987-88 campaign, defenseman
Scott Paluch claimed first-team billing, and
center Nelson Emerson was a second-team
honoree. The 1988-89 season produced yet
another All-American in Parks, a center, who
garnered a spot on the premier unit.
For the 1989-90 season both Emerson and
Blake were first-team selections. Backliner Jeff
Wells added his name to BG’s elite list in 199394 by garnering second-team honors. Blueliner
Kelly Perrault joined Holzinger on the top unit for
the 1994-95 season.
BG has supplied the National Hockey League
with several players over the years. Ellett, who
was one of the steadiest defensemen in the NHL
for over 15 seasons with Winnipeg, Toronto,
New Jersey and Boston, was selected to play in
the 1989 and 1992 all-star affairs, while Galley
was a 1991 and 1994 participant. In addition,
Blake made his inaugural All-Star Game appearance in 1994.
Former all-star goalie Mike Liut, who went
from setting records at BG to setting standards
in the NHL cities of St. Louis, Hartford, and
Washington over 13 years in the league, was
named “MVP” of the 1981 contest.

Blake and Emerson signed with Los Angeles
and St. Louis, respectively, shortly after the
completion of the 1989-90 season.
Blake, considered one of the league’s top
blueliners, won the Norris Award for the 1997-98
NHL campaign after earning NHL All-Rookie
team kudos in 1990-91. He helped the Colorado Avalanche to the Lord Stanley’s Cup in 2001,
along with former Falcon Greg de Vries.
Following the Falcons’ national championship
in 1984, four BG players turned pro.
Iain Duncan, who helped Toledo to back-toback East Coast Hockey League championships in 1993 and 1994, was recognized for his
outstanding play during the 1987-88 season
by being selected to the NHL All-Rookie squad
while with Winnipeg.
Former Calgary Flame, St. Louis Blue, and
Québec Nordique Gino Cavallini also had
several successful years with Milwaukee in the
International Hockey League.
After the conclusion of his senior season,
Holzinger joined the Buffalo Sabres and competed with his new team through the remainder
of the regular season and into the playoffs. In
his first full season in the league, he skated for
both the Sabres and American Hockey League
affiliate, the Rochester Americans. Holzinger,
who was Buffalo’s second-leading scorer in
1996-97, scored the title-clinching goal in the
1996 Calder Cup finals. He now plays for the
Columbus Blue Jackets.
The early years of Falcon hockey were
spent on the club level beginning in 1963. On
many occasions, capacity crowds of 3,000-plus
watched the Falcons through the chain-link
fence at the BGSU Ice Arena.
Under the guidance of Jack “The Hat” Vivian,
employed as BG’s first bonafide head coach
in 1967 (club level), the Orange and Brown compiled a 44-8-2 record and captured two Midwest
Collegiate Hockey Association titles over its last
two club seasons before gaining varsity status
beginning with the 1969-70 campaign. The
Falcons’ club team often defeated opponents’
varsity squads, including the likes of Wisconsin,
Ohio State, and Air Force.
Vivian’s charges captured
two more MCHA titles in 196970 and 1970-71. OSU and
Ohio University provided the
league competition both years.
In just its second year on the
varsity level, the Orange and
Brown was ranked as high as
11th in the country.
The CCHA evolved from the
modest MCHA in 1971, and
that winter the Falcons topped
the 20-win mark (21-10-2) and
cracked the national “Top 10”
for the first time. BG won its
first CCHA Tournament title the
next year despite a less-thanimpressive 16-19-0 record.
The Falcons were crowned
regular-season champions of
the CCHA for the first time in
1975-76, and a 28-12-0 ledger

first) berth in the NCAA Tournament.

The 1982-83 Falcons posted an even better

frustration after they were mysteriously overlooked by the NCAA Selection Committee.

Freshman goalie Gary Kruzich backstopped the Falcons to the 1984 “Final Four” with his 27-save
effort in BG’s remarkable 5-1 overtime win (8-7 total goals) at Boston University in the NCAA
quarterfinals.
The Falcons were the CCHA’s top club, while
the Bulldogs were the best in the WCHA. Both
teams skated like true champions in Lake Placid
for close to 100 minutes. Finally, in the fourth
overtime with 2:49 showing on the scoreboard
clock, BG’s Gino Cavallini converted a Dan
Kane pass into the winning (backhand) goal,
bringing an end to the longest NCAA Tournament championship contest ever played. The
game currently stands as the second-longest in
NCAA playoff history and the fifth longest of all
time.
The experience gained by a young 1984-85
squad, including a major upset win at top-ranked
MSU, made the Falcons favorites for the league
title in 1985-86. And early on it looked like the
prognosticators would be correct.
But a strong stretch run by MSU, combined
with a 3-5-0 finish by the Orange and Brownled
to a tie for second.
An NCAA Tournament bid was lost when
Western Michigan pinned a 4-3 triple-OT loss on
the Falcons in the CCHA semifinals at Joe Louis
Arena.
The 1986-87 and 1987-88 campaigns were
almost carbon copies of one another. BG
started slowly each year, only to post one of the
best records in the country over the last half of
the season.
After surging to a 15-2-1 record down the
stretch en route to the 1986-87 CCHA regularseason title, the Falcons advanced to the CCHA
championship game before losing a 4-3 overtime verdict to MSU.
BG began a string of four straight years in the
NCAA Tournament with a first-round total-goals
loss at Harvard, 10-1. A 17-2-1 record over the
second half of the next year led to a secondplace CCHA standing.
The Falcons finally broke the JLA jinx by winning the league playoff title with a 5-3 win over
CCHA regular-season champion Lake Superior,
the eventual national champions.
BG captured a first-round NCAA series over
Vermont at home, 10-2, before dropping its
quarterfinal series at Maine, 9-4.
The 1988-89 season started with mixed
reviews as the Falcons won seven of their first
eight contests before losing eight of their next
nine. But a 15-5-3 record to close the regular
season, along with a Rob Blake red-lighter in
the third overtime of the decisive third game of
the first-round playoff series at Michigan, put
BG in the CCHA Championships for the eighth
consecutive season.
A win in the consolation game was enough
to earn the Falcons an NCAA tournament berth,
but they bowed in their first-round series at
Boston College, 12-7.
The 1989-90 season was special for a number of reasons. First, York notched his 400th career win, moving him among the 10 winningest
Division I coaches in NCAA history.
Additionally, on the same night York reached
his milestone conquest, Emerson registered his
271st career point to become BGSU’s all-time
scoring leader. Emerson would go on to finish
as the sixth all-time leading point producer in
NCAA history with 294. His career point total
still ranks first in the CCHA annals.
Despite two losses at the CCHA Championships, BG was invited to the NCAA Tournament
where it lost a first-round best two-of-three
series at Maine, 2-0.
The following year the Falcons jumped out to
an 11-5-2 record and a share of first place in the
CCHA in early December only to see the bottom
drop out as they lost a school-record 14 games
in a row, resulting in their first losing campaign
since 1980-81. The Falcons did make the
CCHA playoffs for the 20th straight year, but
BG’s roller-coaster season ended at Ferris State
with a pair of setbacks in opening-round play.
In the 1991-92 season, it appeared as if the
Falcons had the ingredients to make a serious
run at the CCHA title. However, what looked to
be a promising year turned out to be a nightmare as BG managed a school-record low eight
wins and missed the CCHA playoffs for the first
time.
The Falcons showed signs of their true
potential by skating stride for stride with some of
the nation’s top teams as evidenced by a sweep
of No. 1 Michigan, but 14 losses by two goals or
fewer (10 after the holiday break) doomed the
Brown and Orange to last place.
Lost in the shuffle was York’s 300th BGSU
win, which he garnered against his alma mater,
Boston College, at the Mariucci Classic in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Most significantly, the 1991-92 season will be
remembered for the loss of long-time assistant
coach Terry Flanagan to cancer. His inspiration
and dedication remain with the program.
The 1992-93 season marked BG’s return
to the CCHA Championships after a two-year
absence. The Falcons’ youthful squad more
than doubled the previous year’s win total by
registering 19 victories, including two at WMU in
the opening round of the league playoffs.
The Falcons again came up just short of
recording a 20-win campaign in 1993-94 after
seeing their season come to an end with a
3-2 overtime loss to MSU in the CCHA playoff
quarterfinals.
BG’s 6-0-1 record to start the year included
a road victory at LSSU, one of two games the
Falcons won over the course of the season from
the eventual national champions.
The 1994-95 season marked the start of the
second quarter century of BGSU hockey and
the beginning of the Buddy Powers era as head
coach.
Powers, a former assistant under York from
1982-88, led an experienced squad to a 25-11-2

overall record and an 18-7-2 ledger in league
play. BG’s win total marked the team’s highest
in five years. The Falcons’ second-place CCHA
finish was the program’s best since the 1987-88
season.
Sparked by a great start out of the gate (7-1-0
overall; 5-0-0 CCHA), the Brown and Orange
held (or shared) the top spot in the loop until
early February. BG, which climbed as high as
fifth in the national polls (its highest ranking
in years), never dropped below second in the
conference standings.
Another OT playoff loss to MSU, this time in
semifinal action, dashed the Falcons’ hopes of a
league tournament title. An NCAA Tournament
invitation was not to be had, based on the established criteria (Ratings Percentage Index), when
Denver narrowly edged out BG for the final bid
to the nationals.
The Falcons registered their highest win
count in seven campaigns posting a 26-14-1
record for the 1995-96 season. BG fashioned
an 11-2-1 mark (6-0-0 to begin the season)
through the Thanksgiving break before dropping
four straight games.
The Falcons did rebound to win 15 of their
final 23 games, including one victory each over
CCHA co-champions LSSU and Michigan, and a
pair of conquests at WMU in the opening round
of the CCHA playoffs.
Despite losing to the Lakers in the league
playoff semifinals, BG was in line to receive
its first NCAA Tournament bid since 1990 as
the 11th-rated team according to the revised
selection criteria. However, a pair of nonconsideration teams came up with upset wins
in the ECAC and Hockey East playoffs to earn
automatic berths, thus bumping the Falcons
from receiving an invitation.
A highlight of the year came during BG’s
home finale when Holzinger and Emerson’s
uniform No. 19 was officially retired before a full
house at the Ice Arena.
The 1996-97 season saw the Falcons again
fashion a great record out of the blocks, winning
their first six games en route to a national ranking of third. Unfortunately though, an eight-

game winless streak (0-7-1) followed, the team’s
longest dry spell since 1990-91. BG would not
climb any higher than two games over .500 for
the rest of the season as a result of a 2-11-2
mark spanning parts of three months after their
shotgun start.
Playing at full strength health-wise for only the
sixth and seventh times since early November,
the Falcons again managed to advance to the
CCHA Championships via the road route after
posting an unprecedented second sweep of
LSSU in the Sault on the year.
In 1997-98, BG suffered many injuries and
team suspensions to a school tying low of eight
wins.
The 1998-99 campaign, with only four seniors, saw the Falcons move up four places in
the CCHA standings, and earn the distinction as
the fourth most improved team in NCAA Division
I hockey. The BG icers also captured the 1998

Defenseman Michael Jones was selected as

Zach Ham and Mike Savard each received

Edinger was named to the CCHA First Team
while Dan Price and Jones each received
second team accolades. Rookie forward Greg
Day and blueliner Grady Moore were named to
the Bauer/CCHA All-Rookie honorable mention
squad.
Statistically, Edinger led the nation with 14
power-play goals, while Price finished 18th in
points per game (1.39/53 points in 38 games).
As a team, BG finished 20th in offense (3.32
goals per game) and 15th in power-play percentage (.203/47 for 231). Price won the league
scoring title, edging Edinger by one point on the
final day of the regular season.
In 2000-01, the Falcons returned to “The Joe”
for the CCHA Semifinals where they squared off
against the No. 1-ranked team in the country,
Michigan State. Despite a 2-1 loss, BGSU
showed once again that when it comes postseason time the Brown and Orange can never
be counted out after winning five-straight road
games by one goal to reach Detroit.
In 2003-04, junior goalie Jordan Sigalet
established a new school record for saves in a
season with 1,140, which was tops nationally.
Helping him to this number was a record-breaking night in South Bend on Oct. 17, 2003. On
that night Sigalet stopped 56 of 59 shots faced
from the Irish as BGSU won, 5-3. The 56 saves
was a new single game record, breaking Al
Sarachman’s record of 55 set on Dec. 8, 1974
vs. MSU.

In 2004-05 the team recorded its first .500

over 10 seasons.
In 2006-07, the Falcons finished 7-29-2 on
the season, but recorded wins over Michigan
and won at Michigan State, who went on to
eventually win the National Championship.
The 2008-09 Brown and Orange squad,
picked to finish 12th in both preseason league
polls, finished with 18 wins - the most in 13
seasons - as they hosted their first home playoff
series since the 2004-05 season. The 2007-08
Falcons also saw Derek Whitmore earn AllCCHA Second Team honors, while
freshmen
Jacob Cepis and Nick Eno were named to the
CCHA’s All-Rookie Team.
BG upset #1 Miami 4-2 on Jan. 4 to earn its
first victory over the nation’s top team since a
1997 victory over top-ranked Michigan State at
Munn Ice Arena.
The 2008-09 Falcons began the year scoring
well posting three or more goals in six of their
first nine contests, however could only take
away a 2-5-2 record in that time against the
likes of Providence and Boston College before
heading into conference competition. After that
point, the Falcons would be able to string together back-to-back wins twice for the rest of the
season. They would sweep CCHA-foe, Northern
Michigan and WCHA Clarkson but would finish
with 11 total wins. Their season would come to
a premature end after losing to Ohio State in the
first round of the CCHA Tournament, twice.
Sophomore forward Dan Sexton was named
to the CCHA Honarable Mention team and
would later go on to sign a two-year contract
with the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks.
In that 2008-09 season, the Falcons went on
to score 89 total team goals, the second-highest
amount in Scott Paluch’s tenure as head coach.
Heading into the 2009-10 season, Paluch
decided to step down as head coach of the Fal-
cons to take a position with USA Developmental
Hockey based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Earning the title of interim head coach was
then-assistant coach and former Falcon defenseman, Dennis Williams. Williams inherited eight
seniors and ten freshman with lingering questions about the future of the program.
The Falcons fought on through the 2009-10
season while watching fans, alumni and supporters of Bowling Green hockey come together
to create the “Bring Back the Glory” campaign
designed to bring additional funding to support
the program and continue providing scholaship
support to its student-athletes. The project was
put on the map when Jack Vivian, the first head
coach for Falcon hockey, donated $250,000 to
the program. Though the Falcons struggled during much of the season, a statement was made
that BGSU hockey was here to stay.
Following the 2009-10 season’s conclusion,
Falcon hockey began its search for a permanent
replacement for its head coaching vacancy. After
an exhaustive search, the Falcons looked no
further than towards the bench of a fellow CCHA
institution.
On April 12, 2010 Chris Bergeron was named
the seventh head coach for Bowling Green
State University hockey. During his time as head
coach, the Falcons have risen back to national
prominence and become a postseason factor
year-after-year.
The Falcons have won six best-of-three
playoff series’ in Bergeron’s five years at the
helm, including at least one such series victory
in every year of his tenure.

A new era of BGSU hockey
began in the 2013-14 season
after a tumultuous offseason
that saw the dissolution of the
CCHA. Bowling Green moved
to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) and
immediately made an impact.

President William Jerome addresses the crowd at the Ice Arena
opening in 1967. Dr. Sam Cooper (standing left) gave the opening
remarks. Both were instrumental in the inception of the facility.
It’s safe to say from its grand opening in February 1967, to its around-theclock operation today, no one building in Bowling Green has been responsible
for uniting the University and community more than the Bowling Green State
University Ice Arena.
The building’s three major activities (ice hockey, figure skating, and curling)
have drawn together persons of all ages and backgrounds. Many long-lasting
friendships have been formed through the programs offered at the facility.
The Ice Arena has been home to five high school hockey state championship squads, one NCAA Division I hockey title team, one Olympic figure
skating gold medalist, a mixed curling national championship team, and
many other prominent youth hockey and figure skating clubs, including the
BGSU precision skating team.
BGSU ice hockey games provide an intense atmosphere matched by few
other activities on campus. Large, noisy crowds have been a tradition at
the Ice Arena, a $1.8 million facility constructed between 1965-67. Over two
million fans have packed the arena over the years, testifying to the loyalty
of the BGSU faithful. The Falcons have averaged nearly 3,000 spectators
over their 825 varsity home dates.
Since BGSU hockey started intercollegiate varsity competition in 1969, the
Orange and Brown has won over 65 percent of its home games. The Falcons, who have had only 10 losing seasons at the Ice Arena, have an all-time
mark of 510-261-54 in the facility. Since the arena’s inception, the Falcons
have twice posted 10 or more consecutive winning seasons at the BGSU
Ice Arena and one stretch of 22 non-losing seasons at the Ice Arena. Over

the past two seasons, BGSU has gone 24-10-4 in the Madhouse on Mercer.
The current building capacity stands at 5,000, making the arena the
22nd-largest in college hockey and the third largest in the Western Collegiate
Hockey Association. BGSU, though, packed in a program record 5,353 fans
on Nov. 14, 2014.
On Dec. 20, 1988, the BGSU Board of Trustees approved the enclosure
of the north end (with 1,687 additional seats), giving the arena a horseshoe
configuration. The Oct. 13, 1989 game against Northern Michigan was the
first played in the building with its current capacity with the new seats officially
dedicated the next night.
More fans packed the Ice Arena during 1989-90 than any other season as
79,376 spectators passed through the turnstiles. BGSU attracted 13 crowds
during the course of the year that were larger than the previous single-game
record, including two in excess of 5,000.
During the 1996-97 season, the Falcons drew 11 crowds of 4,000-plus fans
(one shy of the school record), including one capacity crowd (5,016) which
stands as the fourth-largest in arena history. During the 1995-96 campaign,

The Bowling Green State University Ice Arena is home to the Falcon hockey program.
the Falcons drew three full houses, two of which were higher than the previous year’s arena standard.
The old mark fell in Febuary, 2012, when 5,031 patrons jammed into BG’s ice arena to watch the the
Falcons battle Michigan.
During the 2005-06 season, the Orange and Brown had 47,165 Falcon faithful attend BGSU hockey
games, the largest number since the 1999-00 season.
Why is BGSU hockey so popular? Part of the attraction is the speed and excitement of the game.
Then there’s the thrill of being a part of one of the loudest and most enthusiastic crowds in college
hockey. BG backers sit close to the action from all angles of the arena to get the best view of the
hometown Falcons and heckle the opposition.
Then again, it is one of the few places in the country where students have lined up outside the main
arena entrance for as long as six hours before the game to get their favorite rinkside seats when the
doors open (60 minutes prior to faceoff). In fact, Wallethub.com named Bowling Green, Ohio as the
top city in Ohio for hockey and ranked it No. 18 nationally.
Through the “Bring Back the Glory” campaign as well as State and University funding, the arena
has made additions to the facility in order to adhere to the changing times while keeping the nostalgia
of such a classical sporting venue. Renovations began in mid-April of 2010 and continued through the
summer months before the rink’s grand re-opening on Oct. 2, 2010.
Far more than merely a hockey rink for BGSU and BG high school teams, the Ice Arena is the site
of many other attractions. The 200’ x 85’ ice surface serves as the home of the BG Youth Hockey Association and is the summer site of the BGSU Hockey and Figure Skating Schools.
As part of the newest appendages in the Ice Arena, the old curling rink has been replaced with a
multi-purpose auxiliary sheet of ice sized at 150’ x 56’. Intramural and club curling is still housed in
this area but it is also home to youth ice hockey practices and games. While Falcon hockey games
are playing and while the main sheet is being used, the auxiliary rink can be open for public skating,
recreational broomball competitions and skating lessons. The secondary sheet of ice is equipped with
full protective glass and netting with standing room existing around the south side of the ice.
The lounge has received a makeover after the implementation of carpeting, paint, ceiling tile and
additional BGSU décor and memorabilia to spruce up the entryway.
Replacing the small patch of studio ice on the east side of the arena are two new locker rooms
for visiting teams and community use. Opposite of the locker rooms replacing the studio ice are two
additional auxiliary locker rooms, increasing the total number of locker rooms in the Ice Arena to six.
The BGSU hockey coaching staff moved into new offices as part of a $750,000 renovation project
completed in 2002. The addition included coaches offices, a training room, weight room and alumni
lounge. A large portion of the money used for the renovation was donated by former Falcons who
played their collegiate careers inside the BGSU Ice Arena. Four full-size dressing rooms for the Falcons, visiting teams and youth teams, in addition to two staff/officials’ locker rooms, are also located
on the east side of the complex.
One of the most popular events held biennially in April is the “Ice Horizons” production put on by the
Bowling Green Figure Skating Club. BG native Scott Hamilton, the 1984 Olympic figure skating gold
medalist and a four-time World champion, has often performed at the show since his youth.
The Ice Arena served as the site of the 2002 Ohio High School Athletic Association’s Ice Hockey
Championships.
Other events staged at the Ice Arena over the years have included an East Coast Hockey League
game, regional precision skating championships and camps, national officials training sessions, and the
“International Stars On Ice” show featuring some of the world’s top amateur and professional skaters.
The proceeds from the “International Stars On Ice” program, sponsored biennially (1978-1992) by the
BGFSC and produced by BGSU, went to the American Cancer Society.
In addition, Gordie Howe and the Detroit Red Wings played a fund-raising game against Fort Worth
at the Ice Arena on Oct. 2, 1968, for the benefit of the BGSU club hockey program that regularly drew
crowds of over 2,500 fans. Just 55 days later, the University’s Athletic Committee voted to upgrade
hockey to varsity status effective the next season. The rest is history.

BGSU ATHLETICS DIRECTOR CHRIS KINGSTON
Chris Kingston
Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
Bowling Green State University
D. Christopher Kingston was named the
13th full-time Athletics Director at Bowling
Green State University on June 9, 2013.
The Falcons have had an unprecedented
run of success with Kingston at the helm
of the 18-team Intercollegiate Athletics
program at BGSU. He has a tremendous
vision and believes Falcon Athletics
will continue to achieve at a high level
academically, athletically and in the community.
Academically, student-athletes had the strongest year ever in the history
of Falcon athletics during the 2014-15 academic year. During the spring
of 2015, BGSU student-athletes boasted a school-record 3.186 cumulative grade point average, setting a new standard. Sixty-four of BGSU’s
student-athletes recorded a perfect 4.0 grade point average during the
spring semester and 24 carry a perfect cumulative GPA for their collegiate
career. More than 63 percent hold a 3.0 grade point average or better. Six
of Bowling Green’s 18 teams posted a 3.50 combined GPA or better in
the spring, led by a remarkable 3.96 grade point average from the men’s
cross country team to give the program a 3.91 cumulative GPA. Women’s cross country had a 3.69 spring team GPA, followed by women’s
basketball (3.55 GPA), tennis (3.54 GPA), women’s golf (3.50 GPA) and
gymnastics (3.50 GPA). Volleyball posted a 3.48 grade point average and
softball had a 3.43. In total, 15 of BGSU’s 18 teams had a 3.0 GPA or better during the spring semester and 15 also have a cumulative grade point
average of 3.0 or better. The Athletics Department also posted some of its
best Academic Progress Rate [APR] scores in history. Eight teams posted
their best APR scores since the rating system began for the 2004-05
season. BGSU had seven teams post a perfect single-year rate, while 11
of BGSU’s 18 sports posted scores equal to or better than the year prior.
Throughout Kingston’s second year at Bowling Green, several notable
accomplishments took place. Richaun Holmes became the Falcons’ first
NBA draft pick since 1999 when he was taken by the Philadelphia 76ers
with the 37th overall pick. Holmes represented the first player taken in the
draft from the Mid-American Conference since 2003. Two Falcon baseball
players were also drafted following the season. Trey Keegan (14th, Atlanta
Braves) became the Falcons’ highest draft pick since 2005. Brian Bien
(31st, Kansas City Royals) was also selected, marking the first time since
2011 in which two BGSU baseball players have been drafted in the same
season. Bowling Green football won the MAC East for the second consecutive season in 2014, while also winning the inaugural Raycom Media
Camellia Bowl – their first bowl win since 2004. Brooke Pleger, Bowling
Green’s first female three-time All-American, won the MAC Championship
in the Hammer Throw and finished third at the NCAA Championships.
Additionally, seven teams finished in the top half of the league during the
2014-15 season.
Two of the most significant gifts in the history of Bowling Green State
University were made to Falcon Athletics during Kingston’s tenure. BGSU
received its largest single gift when the late Bill Frack announced his commitment of more than $20M in support of the men’s basketball program in
April of 2014. Then BGSU Baseball Hall of Famer Gary Haas made a $1
million commitment to the Falcon baseball program in May of 2014, the
largest single gift made by a former athlete of the program. In the most
recent fiscal year completed on June 30, 2015, Falcon Club membership
rose by more than 4%, and total annual contributions to Athletics rose by
more than 6%.
Kingston made several important and impressive hires during his second
year on the job, including the announcement of alumnus Michael Huger
returning to Northwest Ohio to take the reins of the men’s basketball
program. Additionally, Kingston hired Sarah Willis to lead the Falcon
softball program and Matt Ense to head the women’s swimming and diving
program.
Prior to accepting the Athletics Director role at BGSU, Kingston spent
more than two years at North Carolina State University, first as the Senior
Associate Director of Athletics before being elevated to the role of Executive Senior Associate Director of Athletics. At N.C. State, Kingston was
directly responsible for the day-to-day operations of the football and men’s
basketball programs. Additionally, he oversaw external initiatives, athletic
branding and multimedia rights. He also supervised student services
and media relations, and was integral in the development of the athletic
department’s first leadership academy. Kingston also served as the athletics department’s liaison to the Wolfpack Club and was a member of the
Intercollegiate Athletics Cabinet.
Prior to his time at N.C. State, Kingston spent four years as the Associate Director of Athletics for Operations and then the Special Assistant
to the Director of Athletics/Director of Annual Giving for the U.S. Military
Academy. His most recent position at West Point included handling the
daily operations of the A-Club and directing the Army Athletic Association’s
annual fund-raising campaign. He also worked with each of the department’s 25 Division I intercollegiate teams with regards to their specific
fund-raising accounts.
In that capacity, Kingston organized the Athletic Director’s Tailgate and
the home and away football donor events. He helped integrate premium
courtside and rinkside seating at basketball and hockey, respectively.
With direct oversight of the ticket office, he led the transition of a multiyear
agreement with Paciolan as the Athletic Association began to streamline
customer service with digital ticketing. Kingston was part of the association’s external operations team, which helped to synchronize the ticket
office, A-Club and marketing efforts.
Other day-to-day business for Kingston included sport supervision for the
golf, gymnastics, men’s soccer and rifle teams. During his time at West
Point, he served as a member of the NCAA Rifle Committee.
Kingston is a 2010 graduate of the Executive Program of the Sports Management Institute and attended instruction at the University of Michigan’s
Ross School of Business and the University of Texas’s McCombs School
of Business. He also attended the Division 1A Athletic Director’s Institute
in 2010, a “by invitation only” gathering of the most talented intercollegiate
professionals.
Kingston was instrumental in several recent coaching hires at the Army
Athletic Association. He planned, organized and executed searches for
head football, men’s basketball, men’s soccer and men’s golf coaches.
Kingston was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army’s
Military Intelligence Corps upon graduation from the University of Central
Florida in May, 1994. He retired from the U.S. Army in Sept., 2009.
In addition to earning his bachelor’s degree from the University of Central
Florida, Kingston got his master’s degree in leadership development and
educational counseling from Long Island University prior to his initial assignment to West Point.
Kingston and his wife, Stephanie, a native of Whiteville, N.C., have four
children: Lakin, Christopher Jr., Luke, and Mackenzie.
