Don Woods
- Induction:
- 2024
Don Woods was a fixture in the athletic department for over three decades, serving as an equipment manager from 1962-96. He primarily worked with the hockey and baseball teams, but helped out with numerous Falcon squads, including hockey and baseball, over the years.
‘Woody’ learned his trade under fellow Hall of Fame member Glenn Sharp, who hired him to work with the football team in 1962. When BGSU added ice hockey in 1969, Woods became that team’s first equipment manager, and was a part of numerous championship teams, including the 1984 NCAA Champions. He founded the HOGO (Hockey Old-Timers Golf Outing) that welcomes back a large number of former Falcon greats every summer, and the baseball team’s annual Outstanding Freshman Award is presented in his honor.
