"We are looking forward to Coale, Gabe and Nathan joining our program," said Head Coach Ty Eigner. "We believe all three players will make significant impacts in our program both on and off the ice."
Coale Norris
Coale Norris comes to the Falcons after being the leading scorer on the 2020-21 Ferris State team, totaling eight goals and nine assists for 17 points over 25 games. A native of Oxford, Mich., Norris played in 122 games totaling 31 goals and 32 assists over his four seasons with the Bulldogs. Of his 31 goals, seven were game-winning scorers as well as having four power play goals.
"Coale Norris is a player we are very familiar with having played against him the past four years while he was at Ferris State," said Coach Eigner. "Coale has played in every situation versus our CCHA opponents over his career and we expect him to continue to do that for us."
Nathan Burke
Joining the Falcons from the University of Minnesota, Nathan Burke brings with him 84 games of collegiate hockey experience. Over that span the Scottsdale, Ariz. native tallied 13 goals and 15 assists for a total of 28 points, including two power play goals and two game-winners. Burke also blocked a total of 25 shots for Minnesota over his three seasons. Burke has also excelled off the ice in the classroom, being named the recipient of Minnesota's John Mayasich Outstanding Student-Athlete Award at the conclusion of the 2019-20 season.
"Nathan Burke is a forward who can play left or right wing," said Coach Eigner. "He has had a ton of college hockey experience, playing 84 games in three years for the University of Minnesota. He has the ability to play 5-on-5, on the PP and PK. We feel Nathan is more than ready to take advantage of his opportunity here at Bowling Green."
Gabriel Chicoine
Gabriel Chicoine, a defenseman from St. Dominique, Quebec, will join Bowling Green after spending the last three seasons with Norwich. Playing 67 games for the Cadets, Chicoine was able to net 11 goals along with 44 assists for 55 career points. Of his 11 goals, three went into the books as game-winning goals with another three coming on the power play. He also finished his tenure with Norwich with a plus-minus of +77, including a mark of +47 during the 2019-20 campaign.
"Gabriel Chicoine is a left shot defenseman who we feel will step right in and be a big contributor for us," said Coach Eigner. "He has the ability to create offense from the backend and should help our Power Play from day one."
The Falcons In 2021-22
Bowling Green will begin the 2021-22 campaign in October with a two-game series on the road against RPI on Oct. 8 and 9. The first home game for the Orange and Brown will be on Oct. 23 as the Falcons host Miami as part of a home-and-home series. Coming off the program's seventh consecutive 20-win season, Bowling Green will join the reestablished Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) in the upcoming season.
