Questions about BG game pucks

I'm putting a template together of game pucks used for different NCAA schools.
I've set up a temporary website with the information I've gathered so far.

Anyone know what year these Bowling Green pucks were used in games or have more information for me to ad?

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks

Cool idea! The very last one on the bottom right is a commemorative puck that was made for the 20th anniversary of the program. They were given out at the dinner they had. They also had 20th anniversary jerseys that were framed. It was never used for games. I have all four of those pucks pictured at the bottom, but have no idea what years the other three were. I also am thinking that the one that says BGSU ICE HOCKEY (next to the anniversary puck) was a puck you could buy at the school bookstore, but may not have been used at games, though I'm not certain.

Good luck!

Thanks Fanatic,

Would you mind telling me what is on the reverse side of those 3?

Hopefully I'll update the page later today.

I am pretty sure I have those at work and I'm off work this week, so I'll check next week. I'll pm you.

I will try to scan a forward some of my pucks.
That will include a puck for Bouling Green Falcons

Wasn't that the 20th anniversary of the National Championship team?

The white puck was the late 90's I believe. I want to say 98-99 or 99-00 (95% sure it was after Woody retired, and before my last year). I'm thinking it was right before the Orange letters with white outline. I never thought about marking the years on pucks when I got them.

Basically I have 3 methods of narrowing the dates on pucks.
-Change in school logos
-Manufacturer of puck. (Example: Vegum pucks from 1992 and prior were marked Made in Czechoslovakia and from January 1993 they are manufactured as Made in Slovakia)
-Conference logo changes. (Example: Commissioner changes, trademarks added, logo/conference changes)
-Information from someone else. Person caught a puck, worked for the team, played for them etc.....

Thanks again to everyone for their help!
