How much do academics mat-
ter in the Bowling Green hockey 
program?
Last season, 17 Bowling Green 
hockey players were named to 
the Central Collegiate Hockey 
Association’s All-Academic 
list (3.0 or higher grade-point 
average) and 13 were Scholar-
Athletes (3.5 or higher GPA).
On the ice, the Falcons were 
15-19-2 and fin-
ished in third place 
in the CCHA. But 
this is a traditionally 
strong program 
that has sent many 
players into the pro 
ranks.
Nodler and Bowling Green 
each did their due diligence after 
Nodler entered the transfer por-
tal, and each concluded that he 
would be a good fit there hock-
ey-wise and in the classroom.
“There are several offensive 
roles I could fill at Bowling 

Green at center or wing,
” Nodler 
said.
His new coach agreed.
“There are a bunch of scenari-
os for Josh,
” Eigner said.
Nodler hasn’t had a breakout 
season in college in the scoring 
department. He’s determined 
to put up some gaudy offensive 
numbers this season because his 
hockey future depends on it.
Selected by the Calgary 
Flames in the fifth round (150th 
overall) of the 2019 NHL draft, 
he remains the property of the 
Flames unless he decides to 
become a free agent.
Nodler played in 27 games last 
season at UMass, and he had two 
goals and three assists. He had 
13 goals and 23 assists in three 
years at Michigan State, but he 
made his mark in other areas.
He was one of the Spartans’ 
top centers each season and an 
excellent faceoff man.
He was durable. He played in 

all 99 games during his Michigan 
State career.
He was a leader. He served as 
an assistant captain for the team 
in his junior season.
He did well academically. He 
was named Academic All-Big 
Ten as a sophomore and junior 
after posting a perfect 4.0 grade-
point average as a freshman and 
being named an All-American 
Scholar.
He won the team’s Amo 
Bessone Award as a sophomore. 
The award, named for a beloved 
former MSU coach, honors a 
player for his athletic and aca-
demic achievement and commu-
nity involvement.
Nodler has not played on a 
winning team during his college 
hockey career. UMass finished 
13-17-5 last season, three years 
after the Minutemen won the 
NCAA championship.
Michigan State was 34-60-5 
during his three years in East 

Lansing.
“It’s been an interesting ride 
the past four years, but I’ve 
enjoyed it,
” Nodler said. “It’s 
actually gone by very quickly.
”
Before going to Michigan 
State, Nodler played one sea-
son with the Fargo Force of the 
United States Hockey League, 
the top junior hockey league 
sanctioned by USA Hockey. He 
compiled 42 points in 54 games 
and earned a spot on the league’s 
All-Rookie Team.
He played for the prestigious 
Honeybaked hockey program 
prior to his junior hockey sea-
son and, in 2017, he led the U.S. 
Under-17 Select Team to the 
Five Nations Tournament cham-
pionship in the Czech Republic, 
scoring two goals and three 
assists in four games.
Nodler’s family attends 
Congregation Beth Shalom.
