"It's awesome that Coach York, who spent a considerable amount of time here, and did wonderful things as the Head Coach at Bowling Green State University is going to be inducted into the Hockey Hall Of Fame," said current Head Coach Ty Eigner. "His connection with Bowling Green is really cool. For me personally to have had the opportunity to play for Jerry, it's something that I'm incredibly appreciative of, and I really couldn't be happier for him. He's the gold standard as far as coaching college hockey goes. What he's done in the game will never be done again by anybody."
