Spirit President & Managing Partner Craig Goslin to be inducted into Bay County Sports Hall of Fame
Bay City, Mich. – Spirit President and Managing Partner Craig Goslin was honored earlier this week as a part of the Bay County Sports Hall of Fame’s induction class of 2026. Goslin grew up in Bay City and is a 1979 graduate of Bay City All Saints. Since 2002, Goslin has been a mainstay of the Spirit organization. He has twice been named the OHL Executive of the Year (2006, 2007), has served as the Chairman of the Board for the OHL Board of Governors, and represented OHL owners on the CHL Board of Directors.
Goslin spearheaded the efforts of Saginaw’s 2024 Memorial Cup bid, bringing junior hockey’s most prestigious event to the region and generating approximately $37 million in overall economic impact for its local communities. Among the many charitable initiatives carried out by the Spirit over the past 25 seasons, Goslin was instrumental in the creation of the annual Shocks and Saves charity game, which has raised over $800,000 for heart health awareness and installed more than 250 AEDs around the Great Lakes Bay Region. The team’s Hockey for the Homeless game has raised an additional $700,000 for the City Rescue Mission and Good Samaritan Youth Center since the event’s creation.
Goslin was one of seven individuals named to the Bay County Sports Hall of Fame’s induction class of 2026, in addition to three local teams. He will be formally inducted to the Hall on November 8th, 2026, at the DoubleTree hotel and conference center in Bay City.
