You beat me to it. I just got home and saw this posted on Facebook (via BGSU Hockey page)! Here's the article that was posted:

Congrats Kevin!!! :supz:
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

Here's a question for all you hockey experts. How does Kevin pronounce his last name? I had thought it was Beeksa or similar when at BG... a friend who is a real hockey nut (has the NHL "package" on his TV). He says Kevin's name is being pronounced BEE-EK-SA..... Was it this way when he was at BG?
