Nationally-Ranked Ferris State Hockey To Make Four Television Appearances In January

The nationally-ranked 2010-11 Ferris State University men's ice hockey team is quickly emerging as one of the nation's up-and-coming programs and those associated with collegiate hockey nationally are in agreement.

Enough so that 18th-ranked Ferris State will be appearing on national and/or regional television four times during this upcoming January 2011.

FSU Hockey fans certainly won't have to wait long to watch as the Bulldogs will ring in the 2011 New Year on Saturday, Jan. 1, versus the nationally-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers in a Mariucci Classic game which will be televised live on Fox Sports Detroit, courtesy of Fox Sports North.  Opening faceoff for the non-league matchup is slated for 7:07 p.m. (CST) from UM's Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis, Minn.

Two weeks later (Jan. 14-15), both games of Ferris State's home-and-home Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) series versus nationally-ranked Michigan will be shown live on television.  CBS College Sports Network will air the Friday, Jan. 14, series opener between the two teams live from UM's Yost Ice Arena in Ann Arbor, Mich., starting at 7:35 p.m. (EST).  The finale on Saturday, Jan. 15, will be carried by Comcast Television (channel 900) and originate from FSU's Ewigleben Ice Arena in Big Rapids, Mich.  The puck will drop at 7:05 p.m. (EST), but fans are encouraged to attend in what represents the Wolverines' final appearance to Ferris State for the 2010-11 regular-season campaign.
