2020 Offseason

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

As mentioned in a Todd Walker interview with Eigner released today, this upcoming season BG will be:

at St. Lawrence
Home-and-home with Western Michigan
Home-and-home with Miami State
Home against RIT on either 12/31/20 or 1/1/21 at Bowling Green and then at Fifth/Third field in Toledo for the outdoor Winterfest game on 1/2/21 https://www.toledowalleye.com/en/winter ... ege-hockey
And only one trip to Alaska.

Two years in a row with no OSU series.

This doesn't account for any Covid-19 impact.

[unfalconbelievable]

Traded Notre Dame for St. Lawerence...... Yikes

I know other variables come to play like schedule opening dates and who will give you a even trade in terms of playing games and not some two for one UM garbage.

This non-schedule isn't going to help looking on paper, we'd better be ready to rip off about 20 league wins to compensate for loss of schedule strength.

Point taken though with how much will be impacted still by COVID-19.

[mbenecke]

I wonder if teams weren't willing to come here next year. It seemed like a miracle to get Notre Dame on the schedule last year.

I would assume Ohio State eventually makes their way back on our schedule. I know the program's philosophy is to keep working with the in-state and MAC schools (WMU, OSU, and Miami).

[bgbill]

We swept ND. They're not about to play us anytime soon.

[mbenecke]

We swept ND. They're not about to play us anytime soon.

To build on that, our last series with Ohio State included an 8-2 win at their place, and our last game against Michigan was a 6-4 win.

I'm not sure any Big Ten school is jumping at the chance to play us, much less come into our building. And I know our policy in recent years has generally been that we have to get a home game out of it in order to consider playing them.

[TommyG]

No question everyone is scared to play @BG. Lucky we can get a single non-conference home game. The fear of BG around college hockey is well known.

[pdt1081]

Only problem with the non-conference schedule is the outdoor game. It would have been nice to find a travel partner close by to go east. Single games versus more teams is better for Pairwise, provided you win.

[mbenecke]

The 2020-2021 schedule has been released. Home games have been given times, while road games (mostly) will be announced later on.

10/9 @ St. Lawrence
10/10 @ St. Lawrence
10/16 @ Western Michigan 7:07pm
10/17 vs. Western Michigan 7:07pm
10/23 vs. Miami 7:07pm
10/24 @ Miami 7:07pm
11/6 vs. Ferris State 7:07pm
11/7 vs. Ferris State 7:07pm
11/13 @ Huntsville
11/14 @ Huntsville
11/20 vs. Anchorage 7:07pm
11/21 vs. Anchorage 7:07pm
11/27 vs. Michigan Tech 7:07pm
11/28 vs. Michigan Tech 7:07pm
12/4 @ Minnesota State
12/5 @ Minnesota State
12/11 @ Northern Michigan
12/12 @ Northern Michigan
12/31 vs. RIT 5:07pm
1/2 vs. RIT 6:00pm (Winterfest)
1/8 vs. Bemidji State 7:07pm
1/9 vs. Bemidji State 7:07pm
1/15 @ Lake Superior State
1/16 @ Lake Superior State
1/22 @ Alaska
1/23 @ Alaska
1/29 vs. Northern Michigan 7:07pm
1/30 vs. Northern Michigan 7:07pm
2/5 @ Ferris State
2/6 @ Ferris State
2/12 vs. Alaska 7:07pm
2/13 vs. Alaska 7:07pm
2/19 @ Bemidji State
2/20 @ Bemidji State
2/26 vs. Huntsville 7:07pm
2/27 vs. Huntsville 7:07pm

Notably, we don’t go to Tech or Anchorage, and we don’t host Minnesota State or Lake Superior State. The home opener is the same day that football plays at Toledo. Unfortunately, the Tech, Bemidji, and Northern Michigan series will take place with students off campus for the J-term. They will also miss the RIT home game on New Year’s Eve.

CHN has posted our 2020-21 roster. Do people have any insights into how accurate this is? For instance:

o 2 incoming freshman are listed (makes sense)
o 9 (nine!) incoming freshmen forwards are listed (??)
o Gavin Gould is not listed (?)

[mbenecke]

It's not fully accurate if we don't have Gould - he's definitely still around and is going to be a solid contributor for us.

[pdt1081]

I wouldn't trust many outside sources for roster information at this point.

[BG84]

Here's my idea for uniforms: White pants with white jerseys.

Great color scheme for a school with brown and orange as colors. I love both our orange and brown road uniforms.

There would be brown and orange accents, of course. Checkerboard, anyone?

Could you imagine trying to watch that on TV? It'd be hard enough from the stands.
