BG News reporter tries out for hockey team By Sean Shapiro Reporter
I was able to take a step down from the press box and into the crease of Bowling Green Ice Arena when BG held their annu- al walk-on tryouts yesterday. Arriving at the arena, it was obviousthatthisopentryoutwas either poorly publicized or there aren't many BGSU students with the backbone to step onto the ice. In addition to myself there were two other students trying out, one skater and another goalie like myself. Following the signing of a waiver I was given 20 minutes to get ready for a 2:30 ice time.
