While the Bowling Green State University Falcon’s hockey team (18-8-1) defeated the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers (3-13-1) 5-0 on Wednesday, it was a late game substitution that stole the show at Slater Family Ice Arena.
Bowling Green senior netminder Brett Rich is a walk-on from Bowling Green High School and has never seen game action in his four years as a Falcon. When Falcons captain and senior forward Connor Ford scored at the 18 minute mark of the third period, it was time for the Falcons to get Rich.
“(The team) was as excited as he was for this opportunity,” Falcons coach Ty Eigner said after the victory.
