MiHockey Features FSU’s McDonald

Rising senior shares his path to college hockey with MiHockeyNow.com.

MiHockey Features FSU's McDonald
Chad McDonald grew up watching college hockey at Western Michigan’s Lawson Ice Arena and Michigan State’s Munn Ice Arena.

Rising Ferris State senior Chad McDonald is living out his dream – and that of so many young college fans who hope to one day be in his skates.

He charts the path and the people that got him there in “MiStory,” a first-person account published on MiHockeyNow.com.

Among the many compelling elements of McDonald’s story is a look at his Ferris State career, from first impressions to the cusp of his senior season:

Stepping on to the Ferris campus for the first time was a bit of a shock for me. I was where I always wanted to be. I was now one of those players in the game program that as a kid I was looking at every game with my dad. Ferris State hockey turned out to be the perfect fit for me. It seems like throughout my entire hockey career I’ve had to work to prove people wrong.

Ferris Hockey, in a way, is the same; every year we have to work to prove people wrong. That is the Bulldog mentality. Work, work, and work more.
