 Today at Bemidji State held the 21st annual Gail and Nagel Memorial Golf Tournament at Bemidji Town and Country Club. The event raises funds for BSU Men's Hockey and the endowment set up in Nagel's name. The event is a yearly reunion of sorts for alumni young and old to reconnect with teammates and members of the program. You know the Gail and Nagel Golf Tournament it does give it provides a great opportunity for guys to come back you know and see each other and reconnect with Bemidji and reconnect with their teammates. It's just fun to come back and see all the guys that sometimes you only see once a year and it's just a great day for hockey alumni and always fun and have some beers and some cigars and have a great day. Gail and Nagel was a goalie for the beavers playing on the 1984 team that had an undefeated championship season. Nagel died of cancer in 1994 at the age of 34. Galen was the epitome of beaver hockey you know he worked hard he was very unselfish very much about team and that's what this is it's become a gathering of not only alumni but fans supporters community members to come back and join us on a great day raising money for a good cause or a great cause in Galen's name. He's your your consummate beaver and he's that guy um that again you want all your players uh to be like and uh again he's just again he did things the right way. Anderson says that even as Nagel's health was failing at the end of his life he was still dedicated and committed to his program and friend. I just think back to when uh we would play in the the scar tournament with Galen and in his last couple years and and uh he was really hurting but he didn't matter he was he was going to play with us no matter no matter how he felt and and uh that that I remember the most. The tournament has raised over $300,000 for the beavers men's hockey team. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland news please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
