Ferris State University Hockey: 2013-2014 season

Re: Ferris State University Hockey: 2013-2014 season

An early head's up and questions for next weekend. I'll be there Saturday for the BSU game (looks like an hour and a half from Traverse City). The family wants to run to Grand Rapids first. Any can't miss attractions in either town? Thanks!

To be honest, not much to see in BR. Grand Rapids is a nice place to spend the day, but nothing specific comes to mind (especially in November).

I'll be on the lookout for Ferris colors in the VBC this weekend. For those of you following along in Michigan, I'm the guy one the WCHA.tv broadcast. You may throw all of your rocks at me. I will accept them.

Speaking of prep, I'm looking at the Ferris roster and praying that the line chart helps me out. I think I know how Czarnowczan is pronounced. Is Denis the English pronunciation or the French? He's from BC so there's nothing pointing me one way or the other. Is Motte MOTT or MOT-tee? Is Buzzeo BUH-zee-oh? Is Klecha KLEH-chuh, KLAY-chuh, KLEE-chuh, or something different?

Thanks for any and all help.

Czarnowczan = zar-NOW-zen

Denis = deh-KNEE

Motte = MOTT

Buzzeo = BUZZ-ee-oh, I think

Klecha = KLEH-chuh

And from what I've heard, Ferris is sending radio talent, so he should be able to help you out as well.

I won't get into Grand Rapids, but Big Rapids has a lot to offer. On Ferris' campus the Card Wildlife Center and Jim Crow Museum are both worth a look if they're open. Big Rapids has three resale shops and an antique store in downtown that are worth a look if that's what you're into. Also, Artworks downtown is also a good stop as it showcases both local and regional artists in both a gift shop and gallery. Big Rapids also has several local restaurants that are off the beaten path an worth a look. Feel free to email me with any other questions.

Thanks a lot, Hammer. I really appreciate this.

I'm not sure where Ferris radio will be in the tower of power that is the expanded SID/media area at the Von Braun Center, but I'm sure we'll cross paths. Is it still Dominic?

Good stuff - thanks! And the best news of yesterday, my work schedule came out, and we'll be able to make it to both Friday and Saturday games! Plus got the hotel (Quality Inn) walking distance from the rink. Next Friday can't get here soon enough...

I'm not sure I'd consider the Pioneer store a "can't miss attraction" but I hope you enjoy your visit nonetheless, Moose.

Maybe stop at Schuberg's Bar for a Schuberger after the game or swing by Cranker's Brewery for a Big Rapids microbrew. Hopefully it's a great weekend of hockey!

NOOOO, not the Quality Inn. I believe that is where Bob and I stayed. The first room we were in didn't have hot water, so they moved us. The second room we were in had very limited heat. But they did let us take the fridge from the first room to the second room with our beer in it since the second room didn't have one!!!

Hopefully it has been upgraded since then.

That's why I didn't mention it.

Glad to help, as little as it may be. You've got more than enough to worry about down there.

Y'all took it to us tonight. 3 PPG and a fourth goal six seconds after the penalty expired. Good work, great puck movement, got the shot through screens.

I think that you can do a pretty straightforward comparison between FSU and Bemidji by using UAH, who has already played both. We had better team defense on both Saturday nights, so you may want to focus on those. Walsh is legit, and Tommy Serratore is riding him right now. I'd say that the offensive firepower is fairly equivalent.
