BOWLING GREEN — The Bowling Green State University hockey team compartmentalizes its season into eight-game segments.
That first segment for BG was quite the test.
The Falcons struggled in their first eight contests, going 2-6 to start the 2022-23 season. Facing a difficult slate in Northern Michigan, Michigan State, Western Michigan, and Minnesota State, Bowling Green was without a few key players. Goalie Zack Rose, as well as defensemen Anton Malmstrom and Eric Parker, missed time because of injury.
Just how much of a mountain did the Falcons face? Bowling Green’s strength of schedule is 14th in Division I, according to College Hockey News.
