The luster is steadily coming back for BGSU hockey. As the Falcons knocked off two ranked opponents on their way to the CCHA semifinals, and then took Michigan to double-overtime before falling, many saw a program whose vital signs look vibrant and strong. “That run they had did nothing but add more energy and excitement to the ongoing efforts of so many to put the program back on the map,” said Mike Pikul ’84, who played on Bowling Green’s 1984 national championship team. “Seeing success like that, it just reinforces everything we have known about Falcon Hockey for a long, long time,” said Pikul, who helps chair the “Bring Back the Glory” campaign. Junior goalie Andrew Hammond saw BG’s confidence surge. “I think we proved to ourselves that we can play with pretty much every team in this league right now.” Coach Chris Bergeron wants expectations to spike following BGSU’s deepest trip in the CCHA tournament in more than a decade. “We’re going to continue to build this program and get it back to where we all feel it belongs,” he said. “We’ve got people in place that are willing to make that happen.”
