vs. Bemidji State (1/14-1/15)

Following a road sweep of St. Thomas and riding a 3-game win streak overall, our Falcons (11-8-3) return home to the Slater Family Ice Arena to take on the Bemidji State Beavers (12-10-0). Both games will begin at 7:07pm and will be available to stream through FloHockey.
Friday night is both Fan Appreciation Night and Brian Holzinger Bobblehead Night, so tickets are seemingly going fast for that one. I also believe it was advertised as a “White Out” at one point.
Saturday night is both Star Wars Night and the Teddy Bear Toss, as well.
This is a battle between the teams in 2nd and 3rd place in the CCHA, so getting some points out of this weekend is absolutely crucial if we want to keep the pace in the race for home ice.
Go Falcons! Beat Bemidji.

Interesting tidbit - Jack Blake is on the roster. I'm guessing he's a spring enrollee? Curious to see if he gets any playing time before the end of the season.

Perhaps he's enrolled to fulfill a clearinghouse or enrollment requirement? If he plays now, his eligibility will run out after the first semester of his senior year. Probably needs to be officially on the roster to practice with the team, and partake in other team activities.

I’m pretty sure Adam Smith did the mid-year enrollee thing, right? And when he did it, he only ended up playing 3.5 seasons because he started right away at the midpoint of his first year. Can someone back me up on that with a better memory than I have?

Smith and Jordan Ernst came in halfway through the 15-16 season and we’re both immediate contributors. I think we were down to 6 or 7 d-men on the roster at the time.

Just to add onto this, it does say that he has 4 years of eligibility in his bio, INCLUDING this season.
So I guess I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s playing before the end of the year.

Coach Eigner at the radio show discuss Blake. He will be redshirted the remainder of this season. There was concern that his junior team may shut down again due to covid so things developed quickly to get him here to BG.

I say play him if he's holding his own in practice.
I mean he can't be any worse than the -12 and -13 Wozney and Coyle are back there....

Expected that after the Tuesday presser. I did think they'd roll with a forward as the extra skater, instead of the D man.

Bemidji has 2 guys wearing the C tonight. Not sure I’ve ever seen that before?

Trip on Coyle but replay showed Beaver going down on his own.
