Going pro

After one of the most successful seasons in Ferris hockey history, three Bulldogs have signed minor league contracts to American Hockey League teams. Seniors Cody Chupp, Blair Riley, and Matt Case have each signed Amateur Tryout Contracts to play minor league hockey. Depending on their performances in the final games of the season, they may have an opportunity to play in the National Hocky League (NHL) in the future.

New notification system

University Recreation and the grounds crew have implemented a notification system utilizing flags at the West Intramural fields, located across from Cramer Hall. The conditions of the field have fluctuated greatly due to weather and melting snow over the past few weeks. A flagpole next to the road will indicate whether or not the Intramural Fields are available for use.

Green Flag- Fields are open for use

Red Flag- Fields are closed

If the red flag is flying, the fields may not be used by anyone, even if the field is reserved. Using the fields while closed will result in use privileges being lost. Contact the Intramural Coordinator at ext. 2678 with any questions or concerns.

Golf lessons at lunch

Professional golf management students will be giving free golf lessons to all beginners who wish to learn how to play golf or improve their golfing skills. The lessons will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12 to 1 p.m. and from 5 to 6 p.m. at the PGM Center. Participants are invited to bring a friend and clubs are provided free of charge. Five free practice sessions are provided as well and the sessions are available until April 29. To participate, send an e-mail including your name, phone number and preferred time slot to PGM@nullferris.edu to reserve a lesson.
