The Bemidji State University men’s hockey team sent its senior class out in style Saturday, earning a 6-2 victory over the University of Alabama-Huntsville in the 2015-16 Sanford Center finale.

Fittingly, senior captain Graeme McCormack led the way for the Beavers. He set up four of the Beavers’ six goals to become the first BSU player to post four assists in a single game since Tyler Scofield, Dec. 3, 2015. Fellow seniors John Parker netted two goals and Markus Gerbrandt collected a pair of assists.

In addition to a healthy dose of scoring, the Beavers’ got their special teams clicking early and finished the night 3-of-7 on the man advantage and held the Chargers without a goal on four power-play attempts, while adding a short-handed goal.

The Beavers needed only moments to get on the board and it was an all-senior line of John Parker from Markus Gerbrandt and Graeme McCormack which ignited the scoring barrage. Parker’s goal just 11 seconds after the opening face off stands as BSU’s second-fastest goal to open a game in program history and matches a goal scored by Devin Lowe of University of Miami, Nov. 30, 2013, for the fastest goal on record at Sanford Center.

BSU would add a pair of power-play goals before the first period closed to take a 3-0 lead into the first intermission break. Gerry Fitzgerald netted his first goal since Jan. 12 at the 15:20 mark and Myles scored his first of two goals on the night at the 19:28 mark to open a five-minute five-on-three opportunity that would carry into the first 4:11 of the second period.

The Beavers (15-13-6; 10-11-5 WCHA) hit the road to wrap up the regular season at Minnesota State University, Mankato March 4-5. Both games will begin at 7:07 p.m. at the Verizon Wireless Center.
