Coming off of a conference road sweep over Michigan State and an overtime home win Tuesday against Northern Michigan, No. 8 Notre Dame kept its win streak going with a non-conference sweep of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute this past weekend at Compton Family Ice Arena. Thanks to some stellar play at the back end and an

After splitting their second-straight conference series last weekend against No. 16 Michigan, No. 8 Notre Dame heads back north this coming Friday and Saturday to take on Big Ten rival and Irish head coach Jeff Jackson’s alma mater, Michigan State.

Coming off a sobering home sweep at the hands of No. 1 Minnesota-Duluth in a rematch of last year’s national championship, No. 5 Notre Dame now faces another tough test as the Irish (3-2-1) open conference play: No. 7 Ohio State, who pushed the Irish to overtime in the Big Ten tournament championship game.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Sometimes, destiny just doesn’t go your way. Saturday’s loss in the national championship game definitely hurts for Notre Dame nation, especially because there were a host of signs that pointed to the Irish being destined to bring home their first-ever title. There was last year’s loss in the Frozen Four to

ST. PAUL, Minn. — While Minnesota Duluth may be playing in its second-straight national championship game, this time around, the Bulldogs have some thank-you cards in order. That’s because the team they’re playing gave Duluth a chance to make the tournament. There were a number of factors that played into the Bulldogs (24-16-3, 13-11-0 NCHC) getting

ST. PAUL, Minn. — For a moment, it seemed like Notre Dame’s luck had reached the end of the road. Despite managing a power play just 34 seconds into the contest — and against Michigan’s not-so-stellar penalty kill — the top-seeded Irish (28-9, 17-6 Big Ten) failed to capitalize. Then, a momentary lapse on defense

They’re back. At the start of the season, if you were going to tell me Notre Dame was going to return to the Frozen Four, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. Not only did the Irish lose Cal Petersen and Anders Bjork — the two catalysts of last year’s run — but Notre Dame also
