FERRIS STATE’S HOME CONTEST AGAINST MICHIGAN SOLD OUT

Senior defenseman Phil Meyer and the rest of the Bulldogs will play in front of a capacity-filled home crowd next Saturday against Michigan.

February 1st Matchup Will Be The Third Sellout Crowd This Season

The Ferris State University’s men’s ice hockey team’s home contest against the University of Michigan Wolverines to be held Saturday, Feb. 1, is sold out and has been since December 2002.

Opening faceoff for the Central Collegiate Hockey Association game is 7:05 p.m. (EST) at FSU’s Ewigleben Ice Arena, which has a seating capacity of 2,493. The contest will mark the finale of a home-and-home regular-season series against the Wolverines next weekend as the Bulldogs skate against Michigan at UM’s Yost Ice Arena next Friday, Jan. 31, in a contest which will be televised live by FOX Sports Net-Detroit beginning at 7:35 p.m. (EST).

Both teams will enter next weekend’s key CCHA series nationally ranked as Ferris State is off to its second-best start ever in the program’s 25-year history as a NCAA Division I member with a 17-6-1 overall record. The Bulldogs, who are ranked as high as ninth this week by Inside College Hockey.com, currently are first in the CCHA standings at 12-3-1 which is the best league mark to date in school history.

Ferris State has already had two sellouts this campaign – against Michigan State (Dec. 6) and versus Notre Dame (Jan. 11). Game tickets for the remaining three regular-season home games are still available by contacting the FSU Ticket Office at (231) 591-2888. Ferris will host the Western Michigan University Broncos Saturday, Feb. 15, at 7:05 p.m. (EST) before wrapping up home regular-season league play with a two-game set against the University of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks, Feb. 28-March 1.
