Ferris State Hosts Military Appreciation And Meijer Family Night This Weekend Versus Bemidji State

Big Rapids, Mich. – The Ferris State University men's ice hockey team is offering a Veteran's Appreciation and Meijer Hockey Family Night vs Bemidji State University on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 15-16, at the Ewigleben Ice Arena.

On Friday, Nov. 15, tickets are $9 for all Veterans. Tickets can be purchased at the Ewigleben Ice Arena Box Office in advance from Monday-Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, and 9 am to 7 pm on Wednesday. The Bulldogs will wear specialized Camo Uniforms that raised over $5,000 for American Legion Post 98 in Big Rapids. Ferris State Hockey will honor all American and Canadian veterans throughout the Nov. 15 game with a special program including a ceremonial puck drop, military anthems, remembrance poppies and more for fans.

"I have always been greatly appreciative of those who serve, and served, in the US Military," Ferris State Hockey Head Coach Bob Daniels said. "I am grateful for their willingness to put themselves in harms way to protect our freedoms. Now, with a daughter serving in the US Navy, I am even more in tune with the sacrifices our young people make in serving our country."

For ticket information on Veteran's Appreciation night, fans can call the box office at 231-591-2888.

On Saturday, Nov. 16, the Bulldogs will host their second Hockey Family Night, presented by Meijer, complete with a package of four tickets, four hot dogs, and four soft drinks for $48. Puck drop for Saturday's game is a family-friendly earlier 6:07 pm ET start in Big Rapids. Fans can buy these in advance by visiting StarTickets.com.

Fans are encouraged to wear red to Saturday night's contest, as the Bulldogs will wear their brand new red uniforms for the first time at home this season.

Ferris State Hockey is again expecting large crowds with the promotions and fans are strongly encouraged to buy tickets in advance. The Bulldogs have one sell-out already in their first four home games. For additional information, please visit FerrisStateBulldogs.com and click on the tickets tab.
