In Notre Dame’s inaugural season in Hockey East, the Irish will visit a number of unfamiliar venues as teams such as Vermont, New Hampshire, and Providence replace familiar CCHA rivals. Instead of traveling to Yost and Munn Arenas, the Irish will be visitors at facilities such as the Gutterson Fieldhouse, Whittemore Center, and Schneider Arena.…

Well, this past weekend did not turn out quite the way the Irish hoped it would. The Fighting Irish just could not produce in their NCAA Tournament matchup against St. Cloud State. They simply had an off game at the worst time possible. On a stroke of bad luck, the Irish were matched up against…

NCAA tournaments are very different from conference championships. There’s an increased spotlight, with the NCAA and ESPN running the show. After we walked over to the Huntington Center, the headquarters for this year’s Midwestern Regionals, there were ESPN interviews to do. Steven Summerhays, Anders Lee, and Bryan Rust met up with ESPN to talk about…

The Fighting Irish were no joke at the Joe this weekend. They showed up ready to play both nights, and did just that, knocking off Ohio State and Michigan to take home the final CCHA Championship. It was the first CCHA title won by the Irish since the 2008-2009 season, and therefore, the first championship…

The clock said 19:31 when the goal went in during the third period, taking ND hockey out of a tie score with Michigan. As the third period progressed, the prevailing thought was “just hold on.” If we could run out the clock, then the Mason Cup would be ours. But the Irish had other plans,…

Let’s get this out of the way now. Notre Dame is playing Michigan tomorrow in the last ever CCHA Championship Game. For all Notre Dame fans, this is how it should be, the Irish and the Wolverines battling it out for the Mason Cup. But before we move on to Sunday’s game, let’s review the…

Last night, the Notre Dame hockey team attended the CCHA Awards Show, appropriately themed “Celebrate the Legacy.” This was the last awards show for the CCHA, a conference that after 42 years will hold its last championship game on Sunday. It was a night for reflection and celebration, as coaches and players assembled one last…

The team played a little indoor soccer as the players waited for Michigan to get off the ice, using the scattered furniture left over from last night’s Rhianna concert as goals. “It’s a team tradition,” Father Tom, the team chaplain, said, “they like to kick around to unwind.” As the Michigan players started heading towards…

As I sat in the living room of my cozy Buffalo home last Friday evening, surrounded by old friends who I had not seen in months, I found it difficult to perform my duties as a host while receiving live updates of the Notre Dame-Bowling Green CCHA playoff matchup. It became especially difficult when I…

Despite its short life span, Compton Family Ice Arena has already garnered a number of rituals that occur at every Irish home game. A highlight video precedes the introduction of the Notre Dame starters, the crowd informally votes for a “fan of the game,” and the band plays the alma mater after the game, to…

The Fighting Irish could not have ended their season at the Compton in a more fitting way. With their parents in the stands and no doubt a few tears in their mothers’ eyes, the senior players on the Fighting Irish put on a show for the crowd. Each senior played his role to the fullest…

Here at Fighting Irish Digital Media, we are very excited to announce the premiere of a new documentary about the Notre Dame hockey team. Produced by 3 Penny Films, Sweet Home Chicago goes inside the Hockey City Classic and the team’s series with Miami (OH). The show debuts on Thursday, Mar. 7 at 10:00 pm…

Thirteen Fighting Irish athletic teams took to the court, field, diamond, track, ice, pool and piste, in what was most definitely one of the busiest weekends of the year for Notre Dame athletics. On campus, the track & field programs competed in day two of the Alex Wilson Invitational, men’s lacrosse made its 2013 home…

Notre Dame Hosts Bowling Green in Last Regular-Season Series
Mar 1, 2013, 11:30 AM EDT
As Notre Dame returns home for its final series of the regular season, there is still much to play for when Bowling Green comes to town this weekend. Although they have the three-seed locked up in the CCHA tournament, the Irish aren’t out of the woods yet, ranked 14th in the PairWise rankings that help…

It is safe to say that we saw arguably two of the most evenly matched teams take on one another this past weekend in Kalamazoo, Mich. when the Fighting Irish took on the Western Michigan Broncos. They split the weekend and did so in nail-biting fashion. Both nights, the games were decided in shootouts; the…

After having their three-game winning streak routed by the #3 Miami Redhawks on Friday night, the Irish came back with a big win at an even bigger venue; the Irish lost 3-1 in Oxford, Ohio, but they were able to pull out a victory on the 50-yard line at Soldier Field in front of 52,000…

On the Ice, Under the Sky: The Outdoor Hockey Game Tradition
Feb 18, 2013, 9:35 AM EDT
This weekend, The Fighting Irish men’s hockey team got back in touch with the roots of the sport’s history—playing outdoors, with the brisk wind in their faces and the sun above their heads. As an ode to the historic days of Irish hockey (the 1963-1968 years), the Irish Icers sported their throwback jerseys. The new…

A Great Day for Hockey: Irish Top RedHawks at Soldier Field
Feb 17, 2013, 11:29 PM EDT
Notre Dame vs. Miami at Soldier Field. Sounds familiar, right? For the second time in just over four months, the Irish battled Miami at one of the NFL’s most famous venues. Only this time, it was not Florida, but Ohio. Not the Hurricanes, but the RedHawks. And not a pigskin, but a puck. After playing…

Sports have a funny way of affecting you. In a way, it’s odd that the ability of a 20-year-old to get a ball through a hoop or a puck through a net can have such an impact on your emotions. But for true sports fans, some games – good and bad – stick with you…

If the Fighting Irish had to name one potentially season-changing weekend, their second sweep of the Michigan Wolverines might be it. The Irish did not just beat Michigan, they rolled them. Notre Dame put up thirteen goals this weekend—an incredible amount by any standard. The offensive play was unbelievable, particularly from the line of Anders…

Way back in November, I wrote a preview about our road series against Michigan, which ended up being Notre Dame’s first sweep at Yost Arena since 1978. Since then, the Wolverines have gone 6-12-1 and are currently sitting in a tie with Bowling Green for eighth place in the CCHA. In that preview I may…

Although experiencing some speed bumps, the Fighting Irish were able to salvage a win this weekend in Columbus, Ohio against the Ohio StateBuckeyes. After dropping their Friday night matchup, 6-3, it did not seem like things were going to bode well for the Irish the following night. Changing things up a bit, Coach Jeff Jackson…

The Fighting Irish hockey season could very well have been standing on the edge of a knife this past Friday night. The Irish dropped an extremely important game to Ferris State Friday which put them in a tight spot. Another loss Saturday would have put the Irish (who had already slipped into 4th place in…

In my preview last week, I wrote that the Irish were hoping to use the Alaska series as a way to get out of a disappointing 1-3 stretch. Coming back from a four-game, eight-day road trip, this was the time to get back on track. Junior defenseman Stephen Johns said they were treating it like…
-
I suppose there’s no other way to say it; the Irish hockey team is in a slump. This past weekend, the #4 ranked Irish dropped both games to Alaska; this means they’ve lost five of their last six games. This was the first time all season the Fighting Irish have lost a series, and to…
