Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University men's ice program will hold its 37th annual Bulldog Hockey Classic-Alumni Golf Outing on Saturday, Aug. 5, at FSU's Katke Golf Course in Big Rapids, Mich.

The outing, which serves as a major fundraiser for the Bulldog Hockey program, has sold out nearly every year for the past decade with a total of more than 40 teams and 170 golfers for the event in recent years on Katke Golf Course's 21-hole championship course at FSU. Recent years have also featured early sellouts with record-breaking crowds.

This year, yet another record number of golfers and former alumni are expected to attend with the event seeking another sellout.

"We're so appreciative to all the alumni, fans and Blueline Club members who help support this great event each and every year," said FSU head coach Bob Daniels. "This event has continued to grow and evolve over the years into what has become such an enjoyable weekend of activities. We're looking forward to welcoming everyone back again this year."

The cost for the 37th annual Bulldog Hockey Classic-Alumni Golf Outing is $125 per individual and will feature a four-person scramble format. The cost includes golf, cart, dinner and refreshments on the course. A wide variety of raffle prizes will be distributed to the outing's participants.

The FSU Hockey Classic-Alumni Golf Outing will once again be comprised of three divisions -- men's, women's, and mixed teams.

Additionally, for those interested, a special nine-hole shotgun start is available starting at 9 a.m. (ET) with lunch and dinner included in lieu of the afternoon scramble.

Entry deadline is Aug. 1 and checks should be made payable to Ferris State University. Entries should be mailed to the Ferris State Men's Ice Hockey Office per the attention of Drew Famulak at Ferris State University, Men's Ice Hockey Office, 210 Sports Drive, Big Rapids, MI. 49307-2741.
