BEMIDJI — Bemidji’s biggest hockey gathering of the summer is back on July 18 with the return of the Galen Nagle Memorial Golf Tournament, and registration is now open.
The 28th annual event tees off from the Bemidji Town and Country Club in support of the Bemidji State men’s hockey program. The summer tradition brings together alumni, current student-athletes, coaches and supporters and is named after former BSU goalie Galen Nagle, who died in 1996 after a battle with cancer. Nagle was a member of the 1983-84 Beaver team that won the national title and finished 31-0-0.

This year’s scramble tournament features five-person teams, with morning tee times from 8-9:50 a.m. and afternoon tee times from 12:30-2:50 p.m. A tournament committee member will contact each team’s captain to schedule the team’s tee time.
The registration fee of $150 per individual or $750 per team includes golf, two carts per team, tee prizes, brats on the course and a meal. Meals are available before or after rounds; those with late afternoon tee times are encouraged to eat beforehand.
All proceeds from the event go to the Bemidji State men’s hockey program, as well as a scholarship fund set up in Nagle’s name.
To register now, visit bsualumni.org/events/nagle or call 218-755-2827. Registration is online only, and no on-site registration will be available.
In addition to Friday’s golf tournament, a free Thursday night social is also set for 7 p.m. on July 17 at The Tavern on South Shore. All Nagle attendees are welcome. Guests will also have the chance to purchase their own food and drinks.
As part of the fun, an online auction is coming, as well. More information is coming soon and will be available at bsualumni.org/events/nagle.
