The evening will conclude with Ferris State hockey competing against Bowling Green State University. Puck drop will be at 6:07 p.m.
All three athletic events will include opportunities to donate to the Corewell Health Big Rapids Women’s Cardiac Unit, closing with a check presentation during the second intermission of the hockey game.
