I was going to call this "Former Falcon updates", but once a Falcon, always a Falcon.
Anyway, post anything you know about the alums, on and off the ice.

Just talked with Ben last night at El Zarape! He is excited about going there. He's also almost done with school, has two online classes to take and then he's finished! He's VERY happy about that too!! Good Luck Ben!

Besides the coaching thing, Dan was recently inducted into the Grand Rapids, MI Sports Hall of Fame.
"You sit down in your seat and take pause about what you did as an athlete. Then I realized my wife and brother (Marybeth and Scott) are in the Bowling Green University Hall of Fame, and they've given me grief over the years about not being in a hall of fame like they are."

Which BG hall of fame is he talking about? Do we have an academic-type HOF?

He was on the '84 National Championship team. The whole team was inducted.

Dan's wife, Mary Beth was inducted in 2004 for Gymnastics. The 1984 National Championship team was inducted in 1993.

And you'd think I hadn't read that list a trillion times before. Still don't know how I missed Mary Beth on there, but I'll forgive myself with the '84 team thing.

Jon Sitko has signed to play with Gwinnett of the ECHL again. That would mean that he and Ben Geelan are on the same team. Cool!

My wife just got an e-mail from Jordan. He has signed with a team in Russia. He say's he's leaving next week, as long as his paperwork is in order, and he's very excited about this opportunity. Good luck Jordan, we'll miss you!

GO FALCONS!!!!!!

Good luck, Jordan.
Hope he has the medical thing covered over there.
