Ferris State Launches Campaign To Rename Ice For Coach Bob Daniels

Big Rapids, Mich. - Ferris State University and Bulldog Athletics have announced the launch of a special fundraising campaign to rename the ice sheet inside the Ewigleben Ice Arena in honor of former FSU men's ice hockey head coach and college hockey legend Bob Daniels.

Once the fundraising goal is met, the ice sheet will be renamed the "Bob Daniels Ice Rink" in honor of Coach Daniels' lasting impact to the Ferris State Hockey program, its players and those who built successful careers in the hockey world and beyond. Funds raised will go directly toward the Bulldog Hockey program.

Daniels officially retired this past summer after serving 36 years in the Bulldog program, including 33 seasons as the head coach. He concluded his coaching career with 510 wins, ranking among the top 20 all-time in college hockey and was a two-time National Coach of the Year Award recipient. The college hockey icon led the Bulldogs to all four NCAA Tournament appearances in school history, including a historic trip to the 2012 NCAA Division I Frozen Four and a berth in the national championship game.

Bulldog alumni and donors along with fans and supporters are encouraged to donate to this special cause in honor of Coach Daniels. Donations can be made online at the link below or by utilzing the QR code on the graphic.

As part of the campaign launch, the Bulldogs will also honor Coach Daniels this Friday (Aug. 1) evening with a special reception and retirement event at the David L. Eisler Center on the FSU campus starting at 6 p.m. (ET). The event is free and open to the public with the program starting at approximatley 6:45 p.m. (ET).
