Besides capturing the school s first NAA championship three years ago, his Bulldogs have won or more games in four of the last five seasons while advancing to four NAA tournaments (4, 9, and ), two Frozen Fours (4 and ) and seven of the past HA Final Five playoff events. He has also helped produce a pair of Hobey Baker Memorial Award winners (Jack - NAA hampions Home of 5 Hobey Baker Memorial Award inners

2 onnolly in - and Junior Lessard in 3-4), six NAA All-Americans and 7 different All-HA selections. Sandelin has also seen 6 of his UM pupils go on to do time in the National Hockey League, with the latest being winger Justin Fontaine earlier this month (Minnesota ild). uring the course of the - season, the Bulldogs set a club record by going unbeaten in 7 straight games and were ranked first in both major weekly polls (USHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine for a program-best nine consecutive weeks. In March 9, UM became the first play-in game participant to ever claim the Final Five title and, later that spring, strung together a school-record six-game postseason winning streak before it fell to Miami University - in the NAA est Regional final. Nine years ago, Sandelin, 49, turned UM into a NAA Frozen Four participant for the first time in nearly a generation, marshaling his troops to their most victories (they were overall) and highest HA finish (second place on a 9-7- mark) since For his efforts, the Hibbing, Minn., native was chosen the HA oach of the Year as well as the national coach of the year by both insidecollegehockey.com and uscho.com. In -3, Sandelin s charges went -5-5 overall and captured fifth place in the HA with a 4--4 mark while experiencing the greatest one-season turnaround of any league member that winter. One year earlier, he guided UM to a 3-4- record in all games -- nearly doubling the number of victories from the previous season (7-8-4). Sandelin officially signed on with the Bulldogs on March 3, following six years of assistant coaching deployment at North akota (which won two NAA titles during his tenure). Prior to that, Sandelin spent the season as the head coach of the Fargo-Moorhead Junior Kings of the Junior Elite Hockey League after working in that same capacity (and doubling as general manager) the previous winter with the American Hockey Association s Fargo-Moorhead Express. He capped off his four-year playing career at North akota in by being named one of finalists for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award. An All-HA first team pick and an AllAmerican second team selection as a senior, Sandelin The Numbers on Sandelin (Overall) (NH/ HA) YEAR L T PT L T PT PLAE th th th nd th th th th th th(T) th nd th Totals Lifetime Record vs. Notre ame : 4-4- went on to play seven years of professional hockey, which included National Hockey League stints with the Montreal anadiens (986-88), Philadelphia Flyers (99-9) and Minnesota North Stars (99-9). Sandelin, one of just two active National ollegiate Hockey onference coaches to do time in the NHL, was the Montreal anadiens second-round pick in the 98 NHL draft (4th choice overall). He served as Team USA s head coach at the 5 International Ice Hockey Federation orld Junior hampionships, directing that club to a fourth-place finish, and was an assistant coach for the U.S. entry at that same event in -. Jeff Jackson (Michigan State University, 978) is in his ninth season with the Irish and has a record to show for it. Jackson, who spent six years (99-96) at the helm of the Lake Superior State University program where he won a NAA championships in 99, is as a collegiate head coach. That figures out to be a.677 winning percentage -- the best mark among any active NAA I bench boss. His Irish have made five NAA playoff appearances and HO THEY VE FARE AGAINST NOTRE AME UM s current career scoring and goaltending leaders versus the Irish are: Player al ecowski Justin randall Joe Basaraba Tony ameranesi aleb Herbert Max Tardy Adam Krause Luke McManus Tim Smith Andy elinski Austin Farley Austyn Young erik Johnson harlie Sampair illie orrin Goaltender Matt McNeely Aaron randall Alex Fons GP G A TP P-PM PP SH G GP GS -L-T MIN GA GAA SVS SVS% SO -- 6: : :.. two trips to the NAA Frozen Four, the last of those coming in when they were ousted 4-3 by UM in the semifinal round. The recipient of the 6-7 Spencer-Penrose Award, Jackson is 4-3- all-time against UM (3-3- at Notre ame and -- at Lakes Superior State). THE RIVALRY: UM and Notre ame have met 37 times previously, including at least once in each of the past two seasons. The Irish hold a -3-4 lead in the alltime series, which began in uluth on Feb., 97 when both clubs were members of the HA. The Irish departed that circuit after the 98-8 season and UM is 5-4- versus Notre ame since then. The two teams traded wins in UM s -3 road openers (Oct. 8-9) with the Bulldogs taking the front end of the series, 3- (getting a 9-save performance from then-rookie netminder Matt McNeely), before falling 4- in the rematch. In that victory, the Irish struck three times within a span of eight minutes to take a 3- lead early in the second period. LAST EEK: The Bulldogs came away with a split in their first-ever NH series, throttling olorado ollege 5- on Saturday in olorado Springs, olo., after the host Tigers had skated off with a 3- victory the previous evening. Freshman left winger Alex Iafallo and junior right winger Justin randall each scored twice Saturday while junior center aleb Herbert added a pair of assists for the Bulldogs, who outshot the hosts Sophomore left winger Austin Farley accounted for the lone UM goal in the opener. Notre ame remained at home for the second straight weekend and bested Michigan Tech University 3- on Friday and 7-3 two days later to complete the non-conference series sweep. Sam Herr and Vince Hinostroza each had two goals on Sunday while three different players scored for the Irish in the 3- triumph. NH FOREAST: In the inaugural NH Preseason Media Poll, UM was projected for a sixth-place finish in the upstart league this winter while Mia--mi University received top billing among the conference s eight schools with 5 points and seven first-place votes. The RedHawks were followed by the North akota (9 pts., and five first-place votes), St. loud State University (99 and the remaining four first-place votes) the University of enver (66 pts.), estern Michigan University (6 pts), UM (43), olorado ollege (4 pts.) and the University of Nebraska-Omaha (4 pts.). - NAA hampions Home of 5 Hobey Baker Memorial Award inners

3 AYE, AYE APTAIN: Both senior right winger Joe Basaraba and junior right winger Adam Krause will share team captaincy responsibilities. Krause is the first nonsenior to serve as a UM team captain since 6-7. ELL ONE: For his spirited performance last weekend in olorado Springs, Iafallo was bestowed with the NH Rookie of the eek Award. The Eden, N.Y., product was held off the score sheet Friday night, but then scored twice and assisted on another goal the on Saturday for his first collegiate points while helping spark the Bulldogs to their first NH victory. Iafallo finished a + on the weekend and put a team-high nine shots on net as well. 3-4 NH STANINGS TEAM (Overall Record) GP L T S PTS GF AVG GA AVG UM (--) Miami (3--) North akota (--) olorado ollege (--) Nebraska-Omaha (--)..

The last time the Irish paid a visit to AMSOIL Arena (Oct. 7-8, ), they did so toting a No. ranking in that week s uscho.com poll and were slotted second in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine rankings. The No. 8/ Bulldogs, inspired by the unveiling of their NAA championship banner prior to the opening face off, claimed a 4-3 victory on the first night, but the Irish rallied to clip UM 5-3 in the rematch. HANKERING FOR HOME: Since falling 5- to Minnesota State University-Mankato on Feb. 9, 3, the Bulldogs have pieced together a six-game home unbeaten streak, going 5--. uring that stretch, they have outscored the opposition 3-8 while posting two shut outs. This season marks the third full year UM will call AMSOIL Arena home. The Bulldogs are in 5 engagements since that $8-million downtown facility opened its doors for business on ec. 3,. LET ER RIP: In the final four periods of play last weekend, the Bulldogs outshot olorado ollege 59-. The last time UM allowed fewer shots on goal than the Tigers mustered Saturday night (4) was on Nov. 9, in a - setback at the University of Alaska-Anchorage. hat s more, the 3-shot differential Saturday was the largest by a Bulldog club on the road since they outshot RPI 5-, but fell 4- to the Engineers on ec. 9, 998 in Troy, N.Y. PUTTING AN EN TO THAT NONSENSE: The 5- triumph Saturday at olorado ollege drew an end to UM s seven-game road winless skid. That -5- slump started with a 5- loss to those same Tigers on Jan. 9, 3. POER SHORTAGE: The Bulldogs have killed off all but one of the opposition s 3 power play opportunities, but haven t fared much better themselves, going -for- with the man advantage. UM held olorado ollege scoreless on all seven of its power plays last Friday. In terms of chances, that was the Bulldogs most productive penalty-killing night since a 9-for-9 effort against Union ollege in the opening round of the NAA East Regional. UM possessed the country s fourth most efficient power play one year ago (3.4 percent) and produced 6. percent of its goals (4 of 99) with the man advantage. Notre ame s opponents, incidentally, have cashed in on just one of their 4 power play opportunities his season. BULLOG BITS: Justin randall recorded the first multiple-goal outing of his UM career last Saturday against olorado ollege. randall, the younger brother of fifth-year senior Bulldog goaltender Aaron randall, has collected both of UM s game-winning goals this season.

4 UM is tied for second nationally (with five other clubs) in scoring defense, allowing just.5 goals per game thus far. Topping that department is Notre ame (.5 gpg). Senior defenseman Tim Smith leads all 3-4 Bulldogs in career-plus minus rating at a +3 and is a team-leading +4 this season. Sophomore Matt McNeely is unbeaten in six of his last eight starts (4--) going back to last season. His goaltending comrade, fifth-year senior Aaron randall, is 3-- in his last three regular season appearances and has allowed but one goal (last Saturday night at olorado ollege) during that stretch while pitching a pair of shut outs (4- over the University of Alabama-Huntsville on March, 3 and 6- vs. the University of Nebraska-Omaha one week later). Both of those blankings came at AMSOIL Arena -- his most recent home starts. The last time UM and Notre ame butted heads (Oct. 9, ), randall made a career-high 36 saves in a 4- road loss. Of the 5 active players on the 3-4 Bulldog roster, only one -- Joe Basaraba -- has taken part in more than 85 career outings. The senior team cocaptain is expected to skate in his 8th outing as a Bulldog this Friday. Senior center Max Tardy is next on the list with 85 games. Going back to a 5-4 home loss to the University of Minnesota on Oct. 5,, the Bulldogs are unbeaten (3--4) when they have scored four of more goals. That includes a 9-- mark last season and a -- record in 3-4. al ecowski s first goal in a Bulldog uniform came at the expense of Notre ame on Oct. 8,.

Junior defenseman erik Johnson s father, Jim Johnson, is also a UM hockey alumnus (98-85) and now an assistant coach with the San Jose Sharks. UM is unbeaten in 4 of its last 48 overtime games (5-6-7; --5 in -3 and -- this season) dating back to the 8-9 season opener, but hasn t won an extra session outing since the HA playoffs against Minnesota State-Mankato (3- in double overtime on March in uluth). No current Bulldog has an overtime goal to his collegiate credit. The Bulldogs have collected just two shorthanded goals over the past three seasons with both coming on the road against Michigan Tech (by Adam Krause on Nov. 3, -- his first tally as a collegian -- and by Keegan Flaherty on ec., ). uring that same stretch, UM has been scored on seven times while a man up. Krause is the only 3-4 Bulldog with a shorthanded goal to his collegiate credit. Of UM s regular season opponents, eight cracked the top in the uscho.com preseason poll while the four others all received votes. No other school in the country can make that claim. Junior co-captain Adam Krause has skated in 58 consecutive games -- the longest ironman streak on the club. More current Bulldogs (six) have birthdays in October than any other month. Those include freshman center Sammy Spurrell (Oct. 5), junior goaltender Alex Fons (Oct. ), junior center aleb Herbert (Oct. ), sophomore center Austyn Young (Oct. 6), senior center Max Tardy (Oct. 7) and sophomore left winger harlie Sampair (Oct. 3).
