Andrew Hammond's departure leaves Bowling Green's hockey team with a huge void to fill in goal next season.
The Falcons believe Tommy Burke and Tomas Sholl can provide the team with quality goaltending.
Hammond was a four-year regular, posting a 2.85 goals-against average and a .906 percentage in 119 games. He recently signed with the NHL's Ottawa Senators.
Burke played well overall this season. Even though he had the expected inconsistencies of a freshman, he had a 2.57 goals-against average and an .889 save percentage in 15 games.
Sholl, the heir apparent to Hammond, has a 3.16 goals-against and a .909 save percentage in 30 games for Fresno in the North American (Junior) Hockey League this season.
"We've got some nice options," said BG coach Chris Bergeron, who will be starting his fourth season in the fall. "Our goaltending will be strong. It'll just be the one position where we don't have guys who have proven it over a length of time."

A 50-47 loss to Drexel in the third-round of the WNIT tournament Thursday night, ended the college basketball careers for four members of Bowling Green State University’s women’s team.
Chrissy Steffen, Allison Papenfuss and Simone Eil played four years for the Falcons and Danielle Havel transferred to BGSU and played three years after starting her career at DePaul.
The senior class finished with 103 victories, tied for sixth-most in school history. The Falcons were 24-11 this season.
‘‘It’s bittersweet. I enjoyed the four years I had here,’’ Steffen said.
Steffen said she would remember, ‘‘the teammates I had, the coaches, the fans, everyone, the family. I’ll never forget them.’’
‘‘The seniors are awesome, I’m really going to miss them,’’ said Miriam Justinger, who will be a sophomore next season. ‘‘They were great role models for me and I appreciate everything that they have done throughout the season.’’

Bowling Green’s softball team starts its quest for a Mid-American Conference championship this weekend.
The Falcons host Ball State and Miami to open conference play.
BG is 12-8 overall after a 9-1 loss Wednesday at 13th-ranked Michigan.
“We’re off to a good start, but we have room to improve,” said BG sophomore pitcher Paris Imholz, who is 9-2 with a 1.53 earned-run average.
Imholz was a first-team All-MAC pick last season, going 17-9 with a 1.81 ERA.
“Our goal is to win the MAC,” Imholz said.
The Falcons, 36-22 overall and second in the MAC East at 15-7 last season, were picked to win the East in the conference coaches poll.
BG’s pitching and defense have been good. The Falcons have a 2.66 earned-run average and have made just 17 errors in 20 games.

Hollie Mershon was held to her season average of 19 points by Bowling Green State University’s women’s basketball team Thursday night.
However, it was when Mershon got her points that made the difference as Drexel slipped past Bowling Green, 50-47 in a third-round WNIT game before 1,571 fans at the Stroh Center. The Falcons finish 24-11 while Drexel, 25-10, advances to face Auburn on Saturday. PHOTO GALLERY
Mershon scored Drexel’s final nine points of the game, including four free throws in the final 20.9 seconds of play.
The Falcons had played good defense on Mershon, a 5-foot-11 senior, until the final three minutes.
‘‘Give props to her, she really turned it on in the last five minutes,’’ BG’s Chrissy Steffen said about Mershon. ‘‘She just took over the game.’’
Miriam Justinger, who had the primary assignment on Mershon, said the Drexel senior was able to attack the basket in the late going using the Dragons’ screens.‘‘She has a very good first step and that’s what got her open.’’ Justinger said.

Facing a team with 24 victories is scary enough, especially in the postseason.
And while Drexel comes into Thursday’s third-round WNIT game against Bowling Green State University with a 24-10 record, it’s three of the Dragons’ losses that really stand out.
Tipoff is at 7 p.m. in the Stroh Center for the Falcons’ first meeting with Drexel.
Drexel plays in the Colonial Athletic Association with Delaware, arguably the top mid-major program in the country.
The Dragons gave the 15th-ranked Blue Hens everything they wanted in three games during the season. Delaware won all three by margins of nine points at Drexel, five points at Delaware, and by three points in the CAA tournament on a neutral floor in Upper Marlboro, Md.
‘‘Drexel ... they played their best (against Delaware) when the most was at stake and had a chance to win at the buzzer,’’ BG head coach Jennifer Roos. ‘‘That would have afforded two Colonial Athletic Association teams to go to the NCAA, as opposed to just the automatic bid with Delaware.
