Hockey Pregame Party
Falcon sports fans, the hockey season is just beginning. What better way to celebrate the return of the season than the Bleacher Creatures’ pregame party at Kreischer. They will be cheering on BGSU hockey against Ferris State later that day, but not before throwing a Y2K-themed bash in the Freddie Room at the Kreischer Sundial. On Friday, Nov. 14 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., grab some grub, collect a pin to use in the End-of-the-Year Raffle and compete to be named the True Hockey Bleacher Creature of the Game. The winner gets to wear the official Bleacher Creature belt at the game, be featured on hockey’s social media and receive an in-game videoboard shoutout. If you’re hungry, grab some pre-game exclusive ‘throwback tacos.’ It’s three Falcon Dollars for two hard-shell tacos. Going to the party will allow you to collect a Y2K-themed pin, which you can use later in February in a raffle.
