During the weekend of the Bobcats' second set of home games, six people were inducted into the Hall of Fame. Greg Cherne, Dick Homovec, Eric Tisdale, Mark Patriquin, Margo Marazon, and Jimmy Thomas were all inducted on Saturday, October 3rd.
Greg Cherne graduated from Ohio University in 1998 and helped win three consecutive ACHA National Championships. He had a record breaking career and was known for his consistent scoring excellence. He was one of the most impactful forwards in the ACHA National Tournament, tallying multiple points across his many appearances in the tournament.
Dick Homovec was a goaltender for Ohio University during the 1961-65 seasons. He was noticed for his stellar performance and became the starting goaltender for his junior and senior seasons. He was named the Most Valuable Player in 1963-64 and averaged 40 saves per game.
Eric Tisdale played four seasons at Ohio University and was named captain for two of those seasons. He was noticed for his ability to change the pace and direction of the game. In the 1981-82 season, Tisdale recorded 27 points in just 20 games. He was also known for painting his skates white, which distracted the opposing team, and Tisdale took advantage of this.
Mark Patriquin played just two seasons at Ohio University but was able to make an impact. He was known for his stickhandling and ability to maneuver around opponents. In his two seasons at Ohio, Patriquin played 42 games and accumulated 87 points. He was also known for his involvement with the university and community of Athens.
Margo Marazon served on the Blueline Booster starting in 1999 and eventually became the director during the 2006 and 2007 seasons. She was known for her dedication, advocacy, and volunteerism to the Ohio Hockey program. She also developed an organization that still impacts the team to this day.
