If BG does it anything like my institution, they hold back some of the bigger gifts they already know about until the very end to encourage people to keep working towards the matches. I think Slater is going to have to pay up his full amount!

Thanks to Dennis Morris who at 2:00 contributed $10k, we exceeded the match amount. Donation now stands at $159,420. Wow. Unbelievable. Scott Slater put forth a call to action and we as a Falcon hockey community answered. That makes a statement to the players and Willie that we're committed and ready to go. Well done, Falcon Nation!

Great to see. The university showing a commitment to hockey is something a lot of people have been waiting for. This is evidence of that.

Maybe they do this every year and I’m just finding out because it’s the first time I’ve gotten involved, but #16 Brayden Krieger left a voicemail for me thanking me for my donation. I thought that was a really nice personal touch.

It's pretty much standard. DVDM posted a picture the other day is athletes "manning the phones" calling donors with thank yous.
