For reason not yet publicized, Matt Ferrari, freshman D from Toronto, has left the BGSU hockey team. I hope it works out for him, but I sure would have liked to watch his progress as a Falcon player and student.

Berge cites homesickness which is understandable for an 18-year old, shame he didn't stick around and at least give it more time for it to go away. Hopefully this won't impact the defense too much.

We've got quotes from Bergeron on our story.

A: one of the risks of bringing in young guys. No way id argue the risks outweighed the possible reward for this kid, but still one of the possibilities. One positive to getting older guys, and from the USHL, is they've almost all lived away from home while in juniors and are prepared for a college athlete lifestyle. Looking at Ferraris career in Canada it looks like he probably never was billited.
B: if the problem was that bad for him, he probably wasn't a great fit for BG, the culture theyve established, and the other guys. Terrible time for the program for a dman to bail, but I have to wonder about well things would have gone for him had he stayed.
C: time to start praying our d corps stays healthy.
