Over 10,000 in attendance for the Saturday triple header, with hockey breaking a record of 5031. Great atmosphere. However it is a shame we are going to see us lose Miami, OSU, ND and MSU after next year. It will be a very long time before we come close to that record attendance. Just don't see the excitement with the new alignment. But wow, what a crowd last night.

The previous record crowd was 5,021 on Dec. 2, 1995, also against Michigan. The atmosphere felt like the glory days of the BG program in the late 1970s and early 80s. “Shawn Hunwick came up to me at the end and said, ‘this is what Bowling Green should be every night,’” Bergeron said. “I can’t thank everybody enough, on behalf of this program. I know the results weren’t what they wanted and they weren’t what we wanted. But we feel we’re making progress. If we can have crowds like this, this will truly become a home-ice advantage.” “It’s awesome,” Hammond said. “It’s special. It’s fun playing in front of a full house.”
