On the way to preschool, the Janicke family car blasted the Notre Dame fight song on repeat.

The 2021-22 season came to an end for the Irish on Saturday evening in Albany as the Irish fell 1-0 to Minnesota State in a physical, fast-paced game. The Mavericks looked like the better team for most of the night, but the Irish competed well too, generating plenty of scoring opportunities. Saturday night’s win was

Perhaps nothing shows just how far the Irish hockey team (26-9-0, 16-6-0-4-0-0 B10) have come this year, especially compared to the last two seasons where they were a pedestrian 29-28-9, like their record against the Michigan Wolverines (27-9-1, 16-8-0-0-3-0). Holding your own against a Michigan team stacked with the first, second, fourth and fifth overall

Compton Family Ice Arena fell silent a mere 2:24 after the puck dropped on Friday night.
