Ty Eigner's gamble pays off at Bowling Green
BOWLING GREEN — Ty Eigner is the first one to say he’s a simple man.
The new head hockey coach at Bowling Green State University always foresaw a career within the game without much thought given to anything else.
“I was never going to go to law school or become a doctor or run a Fortune 500 company,” Eigner said.
Most of all, Eigner wanted to coach at the college level — a dream that, in his case, required more than a decade of patience and a cross-country risk to achieve.
From 1996-2010, Eigner coached high school hockey in Minnesota and was on the verge of becoming a decorated lifer in the state’s robust prep hockey scene.
