BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green ice hockey team welcomed the Ferris State Bulldogs in their series opener on Friday night. The Falcons got the better of the Bulldogs by a score of 9-5. The top line shined for the Falcons, as Noah Morneau extended his hot streak, scoring a hat trick. Dominik Rymon had two goals for the Falcons, marking his second and third tallies of the season, and Quinn Emerson added another three assists to his tally.

It was a fast, physical battle in which every shot seemed to lead to a scoring chance. With this win, the Falcons have earned their highest single-game goal total since 2019.

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – After years of absence, the sound of an organ echoing through the Slater Family Ice Arena will return tonight as the Falcons take on the Ferris State Bulldogs at 7:07 p.m.

I've got a 4 pack of tickets for tonight's (Friday) or Saturday night's games at the Slater Family ice Arena (Organ music included) leftover from our on-air giveaways this week. Comment in the section below and we'll spin the wheel and send a couple families out to the "Madhouse on Mercer" for Falcon Hockey this weekend! If you don't win tickets on the show 88.1 WBGU-FM, check out the canned food drive challenge post.

In 1970, just three years after the grand opening of the then-named "BGSU Ice Arena," an organ was introduced to bring more excitement to Bowling Green ice hockey games. The idea was brought forward by then–Director of Athletic Promotion James Krone. The organ sat atop the skate shop, surrounded by a metal cage to protect it from stray pucks and sticks. From it, fans would hear traditional sporting songs, rallying notes, and occasionally the national anthem bellowing out of the speaker system. As years went by and a modern sound system was introduced to bring in-game music to the venue, the organ eventually fell out of use.

Tonight, it will be located in the band section next to the Bleacher Creatures and will be played by a member of the BGSU pep band. Fans will hear a mix of in-game music and notes from the organ, in addition to the cutting of skate blades into the ice, players crashing into the boards, and the cheering of Bowling Green hockey fans.
