After COVID canceled last Friday’s scheduled matchup against Boston College, well-rested No. 8 Notre Dame (10-3-0, 4-2-0-2-0 B10) will face host the No. 18 Ohio State Buckeyes (8-4-0, 4-2-0-0-0 B10) this weekend. The unexpected bye week creates an interesting dynamic of rest v. rust. “I’ve always been concerned about bye weeks,” Irish head coach Jeff

The 14th-ranked Irish (10-3-0, 4-2-0 B1G) continued their run of dominance at Yost Ice Arena on Friday and Saturday. They swept the top-ranked Michigan Wolverines (10-4-0, 5-3-0 B1G) by scores of 3-2 and 5-4. With the sweep, the Irish have now won their last seven games in Ann Arbor. In the series opener, the Irish

This weekend marks a turning point in the Notre Dame (6-3-0, 0-2-0-0 B10) hockey season. The Irish took care of business against a slew of non-conference opponents, winning six of seven (excluding a winless two-game road trip to Big Ten foe Minnesota two weeks ago). But from here on out, it’s almost all Big Ten

In its first major test of the season in Minneapolis, the fourteenth-ranked Irish hockey team fell short, dropping both games to the seventh-ranked Minnesota Gophers by scores of 4-1 and 3-2. In Friday’s 4-1 loss, it was the Gophers who grabbed the early lead at the end of the first period despite the Irish having

As the saying goes, you only get one chance to make a good first impression. The Notre Dame men’s hockey team (1-0-0-0, 0-0-0 Big Ten) did just that on Saturday night, kicking off their 2021-22 regular season with a 5-2 victory over the Long Island University Sharks (0-3-0-0, Independent). Better yet, they did so in

It certainly was not a disappointing season, but the 2020-21 men’s hockey campaign left something to be desired in South Bend, though not because of anything the Irish did on the ice. Fans were not permitted to attend games at the usually raucous Compton Family Ice Arena, leading to a disappointing 5-11-1 home record. Despite

For the final time this regular season, the Irish are gearing up for a match-up away from Compton Family Ice Arena. That actually may not be as great as it sounds. The Irish own a stellar 8-2-0 record on the road this regular season. But with a home series against Penn State and the Big

This past weekend, the Notre Dame hockey team looked to avenge their season-opening sweep by Wisconsin, but the Irish (10-12-2, 8-10-2 Big Ten) left LaBahn Arena in Madison with a loss and a tie against the No. 5 Badgers (15-8-1, 13-6-1 Big Ten). Notre Dame started strong Friday, with junior forward Alex Steeves scoring a

The Notre Dame hockey team (7-6-1, 5-3-1-1 B1G) looked arguably the best it has all season this past weekend, sweeping the top-ranked Minnesota Gophers (11-3, 9-3-0-0 B1G) on the road in Minneapolis. The Irish won the first game 3-2 behind one goal and two assists from junior forward Graham Slaggert. Head coach Jeff Jackson discussed
