SOLD OUT! Ferris State Hockey Golf Outing Sold Out For 13th Consecutive Year!

Big Rapids, Mich. - For the 13th consecutive year, the Ferris State University men's ice hockey program has announced its annual Bulldog Hockey Classic-Alumni Golf Outing slated for Saturday, Aug. 3, is officially SOLD OUT and FSU is again expecting one of its largest turnouts ever for the 38th annual event.

The outing, which serves as a fundraiser for the Bulldog Hockey program, takes place on Katke Golf Course's 21-hole championship course at FSU. This year marks the 11th-straight "early sellout" for the event and is again one of the earliest ever with the event still nearly two weeks away. It comes on the heels of record-breaking years for much of the past decade, featuring 40+ teams and roughly 170 total golfers.

"This outing has become such a popular and enjoyable event for our faithful alumni, outstanding supporters of the program and friends," said FSU head coach Bob Daniels. "We certainly thank everyone for their continued support and we are looking forward to welcoming back our former players along with having an opportunity to spend the day with so many great people."

A number of notable alumns and former Bulldog Hockey players are again expected to take part in this year's event. Recent outings have included such prominent FSU alums as former Detroit Red Wings head coach Jeff Blashill, four-time Stanley Cup Champion Chris Kunitz, Tampa Bay Lightning Video Coordinator Brian Garlock and NHL alums such as Zach Redmond and Gerald Mayhew among others. Many recent players, including members of the 2012 Frozen Four squad and recent championship teams, also annually take part.

Along with the golf outing, the events will include a morning reception for former players and coaches along with lunch at the course prior to the 18 holes of golf. A dinner and awards ceremony will follow the afternoon round of golf. The Bulldog Hockey Classic-Alumni Golf Outing regularly draws former and notable Bulldog Hockey players and supporters.
