Any program looking to break through the top ranks and solidify itself as a force to be reckoned with needs key pieces. It needs a core group of leaders to elevate the team from a good program to a national powerhouse. For Notre Dame, Jake Evans was that guy. In Evans’ four-year tenure at Notre

After losing their two most important players from last year’s Frozen Four run and joining the Big Ten, the Irish had plenty of question marks entering the season.
