Marcus Perrier is leaving the Bowling Green Falcon hockey program, the senior defenseman announced Wednesday on Twitter.
The undrafted free agent is expected to sign a pro contract in the American Hockey League or the East Coast Hockey League.
"I would like to thank all of the coaches, staff, and players at @BGSU_Hockey. I have had a great experience at BG over these last 3 years,” Perrier wrote on Twitter. “My teammates have become family to me and I will miss them as I begin my next step in my career."
Perrier played well as a freshman, but has struggled the last two seasons. He was even a healthy scratch last season.
“We wish Marcus the best as he starts the next chapter of his life,” BG coach Chris Bergeron said. “We appreciate his efforts during the last three years.”
Perrier’s playing time this season was in question as BG’s defense corps is being revamped into a more mobile and a more offensive group.
The 6-foot-225-pounder, who played a physical style, had five goals and 20 assists in 117 career games. He also had 56 penalties for 145 minutes, and an on-ice rating of plus-2.
Perrier’s departure leaves the Falcons with nine defensemen.
The group includes seniors Rusty Hafner, Connor Kucera and Mike Sullivan.
Rounding out the defense are juniors Jose Delgadillo, Ralfs Freibergs and Dajon Mingo; sophomore Sean Walker; and freshmen Mark Friedman and Nolan Valleau.
Good Luck, Marcus! I wish you success in your hockey future!

"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."
