On a personal note, congratulations to Dan Sexton on making his NHL debut in Minnesota for the Anaheim Ducks. Dan also scored his first two NHL goals tonight against the Dallas Stars. Dan played two years at Bowling Green State University. In two seasons with the Falcons, Sexton finished with 24 goals, 36 assists (60 points) and 18 multiple-point games in his collegiate career. He left after his sophomore year when he signed a professional contract with the Anaheim Ducks.Dan, you have represented Bowling Green State University very well. There could not be a better person to show how the Falcons Hockey program is growing. This is a tremendous story and one to remember. Best of luck to you and a successful career!

Nick, great to see you are showin big sexy some love. Dan Sexton is a great representation of our university, it is just too bad he left after two years. Anyone in his position would have done the same exact thing. Former BG coach Scott Palluch did a great job recruiting talent here, however he has the personality of an oak tree and let most of the talent we had here slip away. Since the start of last season, Sexton along with Jake Cepis, Tim Maxwell(Captain), Russ Sinkewich, Pat Tielsing, and Nick Bailen have all left early. I personally do not blame any of them because of the way the program was ran last season. All of them have gone on to have success in either professional hockey(Maxwell, Sinkewich, Sexton), while others transfered to better programs(Tiesling to Miami, Cepis to Minnesota, and Bailen back to the USHL). That being said, I definatly think Sexton is the rawest of the aforementioned players. He is one of the fastest skaters I have seen, and that is saying a lot considering I spend 7 seasons working in the AHL. Obviously we are all pulling for Dan and his continued success with the Ducks(4 g, 1 a in 5 games played). It is certainly a possibility that his success could translate into BGSU maximizing its programs potential.
