The highly regarded Jackson now has over 30 years of coaching experience. u Notre Dame s Jeff Jackson era began in 2005 when the University searched for a man who could move the program among the elite hockey schools in the country. u The veteran coach owned a resume packed with success at the collegiate, junior hockey, professional and international levels. u During his 11-year run, Notre Dame has become one of the nation s top teams, winning the Central Collegiate Hockey Association s (CCHA) regular-season title twice ( and ) while earning three Mason Cup championships (`07, `09 and the final one in 2013). u During Jackson s tenure, his teams have made seven trips to the NCAA Tournament ( , , and now 2016), advancing to the Frozen Four twice, playing in the 2008 title game and the 2011 national semifinals. u Then in , the team s first season in Hockey East, the Irish upset the conference s top team - Boston College - in the quarterfinals to advance to the TD Garden (Boston, Massachusetts) for the Hockey East semifinals u Between , the Irish turned in win totals of 32, 27 and 31 for three consecutive seasons of 25 or more wins and three consecutive NCAA tournament appearances, a first in program history. u Jackson s success on the ice also has had a major impact off the ice for the Irish. With the wins came a commitment from the University that led to the new home of Irish hockey - The Compton Family Ice Arena - one of the finest college hockey facilities in the nation. The new venue opened for business on Oct. 21, u Since Jackson s arrival, the Irish have had 32 players selected in the National Hockey League Entry Draft, including three first round selections. In that same span, 20 players from USA Hockey s National Team Developmental Program have matriculated to Notre Dame. u During his tenure, the Irish have had five players garner All-America honors -- Robbie Russo in 2015, Anders Lee in 2013, Ian Cole and Erik Condra in 2009 and David Brown in u In addition, 14 of Jackson s players have gone on to play in the NHL (most recently Vince Hinostroza and Stephen Johns in ). u In Jackson s first 11 seasons with Notre Dame, the Irish have played with poise and discipline, relying on team defense, strong goaltending and excellent special teams play. They also laid the foundation for future seasons with major success on the recruiting trail. u In taking over the Irish coaching duties in 2005, Jackson became the first Notre Dame head coach to have won an NCAA Division I championship with another program before being hired as an Irish head coach. u Success is nothing new for Jackson at the NCAA Division I level. In six years as the head coach at Lake Superior State ( ), Jackson s teams won two NCAA titles in 1992 and 1994 (also advancing to the finals in 1993), two CCHA regular-season championships (1991 and 1996) and four CCHA Mason Cup trophies (1991, 1992, 1993 and 1995). u A 1978 graduate of Michigan State University with a degree in communications, Jackson followed with an education degree from Michigan State in u In May 2003, Inside College Hockey, ranked Jackson 12th on its list of the 16 greatest college coaches of all-time with only five of the 16 still active in coaching. u Jackson is a member of the USA Hockey Coaches Achievement Program, the American Hockey Coaches Association and the National Hockey League Coaches Association.
