The Adrian College Bulldogs have announced the addition of another home-and-home, non-conference series against an NCAA Division I opponent. The series will take place this weekend, this time against Lake Superior State University. Adrian (2-2) makes the trip to Taffy Abel Arena in Sault Ste. Marie for a Friday game at 7:07pm and then the Bulldogs host the Lakers at Arrington Ice Arena for a 2:05pm start on Sunday.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to add yet another Division I program to our schedule,” stated Adrian head coach Adam Krug ’12. “We’re grateful, not just to be playing, but also to have such good competition. I’ll take this time to express my gratitude publicly to President (Dr. Jeffrey R.) Docking, Athletic Director Mike Duffy and the rest of the Adrian College Administration for allowing us to do whatever it takes to compete during the current times.

“It was great that (LSSU head coach) Damon (Whitten) reached out when things for their originally scheduled weekend came into question.” The Lakers previously scheduled home-and-home, non-conference series against the Ferris State Bulldogs for Friday, Nov. 27 and Sunday, Nov. 29 has been cancelled due to a positive COVID-19 test result within Ferris’ hockey program.
“The two games with Bowling Green appear to have shown our players what we have to do to be successful at that level,” Krug said. “Hopefully, we will get different results this weekend.”

Adrian is 1-2 lifetime versus NCAA Division I opponents, and will be meeting a second WCHA member in as many weekends following BGSU. The LSSU series replaces a two-game trip to Utica College in New York that Adrian had planned for Nov. 27-28 but since canceled because of COVID-related issues within the Pioneers’ campus and conference.
