5 N otre Dame s Joyce Center, celebrating its 44th year of service to the University in , serves as a multi-purpose sports complex, a theatre and concert hall, a convention center and an office building and as the home of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish hockey team. The building was renamed in 1987 to honor Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, C.S.C, Notre Dame s executive vice president from 1952 until his retirement in Formerly known as the Athletic and Convocation Center (ACC), the structure is now referred to as the Joyce Center. Designed by Ellerbe Architects of St. Paul, Minn., the Joyce Center was conceived at the outset as a combination athletic-civic center, with $1.8 million alone contributed by persons in the Michiana area. The Center s distinctive domes, covered with a white vinyl roofing material stretched over steel ribbing, rise just east of Notre Dame s football stadium. The building is both wider and longer than the famous stadium and encloses more area than Houston s Astrodome. In all, the $8.6-million structure covers 10 acres of ground. Campus officials draw the comparison with Stepan Center, a student activities building which once held the campus seating record of 3,800, by pointing out that Stepan can be placed within the circumference of the north dome s field house running track without touching the adjacent ice rink. The field house, and in particular the hockey facility, has undergone a series of improvements in recent years to give the Irish more of a home-ice advantage. Renovations to coaches offices and the locker rooms along with the addition of a dividing curtain have helped make the Joyce Center rink one of the toughest places to play in the CCHA. Fans also have benefited from Notre Dame s commitment to hockey, with theatre-style seating that replaced metal bleachers on the north side of the arena. City officials are equally fond of the figure of 464,800 square feet of usable floor area, a statistic which makes the Joyce Center the largest exhibition hall between Detroit and Chicago. During the spring of 2009, the south arena s design began a $26.3 million renovation that has become the Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center. The upgrades include the replacement of existing arena seating, including installation of chairback seating from top to bottom of the arena; a new stadium club/ hospitality area with premium seating for 800 fans; new fixed concession areas and new restrooms. A two-story addition to the south end of the current structure includes a new ticket office and varsity shop as well as a new main entrance and lobby between gate 8 and 10. The exchange of bleacher seating to chairback seating reduced the capacity to approximately 9,800. The north arena is the home of Irish hockey and can be set up to hold 2,713 fans at normal seating and 2,763 with standing room. Virtually every sport at Notre Dame varsity, club or intramural can play or practice in either the field house, the arena, the five auxiliary gymnasiums or the several work areas provided throughout the spacious building. In 1985, the Rolfs Aquatic Center opened on the eastside of the Joyce Center. The 4.5-million-dollar facility houses a 50-meter Olympic-size pool (25 yards in width) and spectator seating for 400. In addition to these areas, the Joyce Center also Facilities - The Old (the Joyce Center) contains the administrative and business side of the increasingly complex collegiate sports operation. Ticket offices, with mobile booths that can be wheeled to locations, are lodged inside, along with offices for coaches, athletic administrators, and sports information and press facilities. These offices and facilities are located in a central complex that joins the two arenas and, in general, houses the people and machinery common to both. A spacious concourse also is contained in this core area, as is a tastefully appointed Monogram Room and the Sports Heritage Hall, surrounded by small meeting rooms. On the lower level of the concourse, there are several thousand lockers, a faculty exercise room, a golf driving range, squash, racquetball and handball courts with a central kitchen for catering. The Joyce Center played host to its 300th all-time win at the Joyce Center on Feb. 13, 2004 when the Irish defeated Ferris State, 4-2. The hockey team s all-time home record now stands at (.558) in 43 seasons on the Joyce Center ice. During the season, Notre Dame was on home ice for a.778 winning percentage. Over the past six seasons under Jeff Jackson, the Irish are a nifty for a.656 win percentage at the Joyce Center. That mark is highlighted by a mark (.824) in the record-setting season of In , Notre Dame equaled a school record by going 15 games (13-0-2) without a loss at home on the way to a mark. The 14 wins were the second-best win total (surpassed only by the 18 wins the team recorded) in the program s history. Over the past 10 campaigns, the Joyce Center has been home to several huge wins for the Irish hockey program. On Oct. 22, 2004, the Irish stunned No. 1 ranked Boston College, 3-2, in front of a standing room only crowd of 2,763. The win marked the first Notre Dame win over a top-ranked team since Jan. 13, 1978 when the Irish defeated then No. 1 Denver, 5-3, at the Joyce Center. During the season, Notre Dame hosted their first home playoff series since , defeating Western Michigan, two games to one. The Irish also swept fourth-ranked Michigan in a home series for the first time since the campaign. Both games were played in front of sellout crowds of 2,763. Since , the Irish have hosted CCHA playoff action in five of six seasons, including four second round series from and Notre Dame owns an 8-2 record in winning those four second round appearances and has advanced to the CCHA championship in each of those seasons. In each of the last three seasons, the Irish have averaged better than a sellout out crowd (2,713) per games topped by the campaign that saw the Notre Dame average 2,801 per contest with 16 sellouts in 19 home dates. On Jan. 30, 2009 versus Michigan, 3,007 fans jammed their way into the Joyce Center, the largest crowd since Mar. 3, 1995, when 3,310 saw the Irish play Illinois-Chicago in the final game before new seating reduced capacity to 2,713. Since the new seating configuration for the season, the Irish have hosted 124 sellout crowds for hockey at the Joyce Center.

6 Facilities-The New Compton Family Ice Arena The wait will soon be over for Notre Dame hockey fans from the campus and the entire South Bend area as the sparkling new, state-of-the-art, on-campus ice facility - The Compton Family Ice Arena - is set to open on October 18, 2011 just a few short weeks into the season. This brand new facility has been in the works since Feb. 12, 2009 when the original announcement for the new building was made by Notre Dame executive vice-president John Affleck-Graves and athletics director Jack Swarbrick after the University s Board of Trustees approved the plan. Originally, plans were to renovate the Joyce Center Ice Rink, the home of the Notre Dame hockey program since Those plans included a permanent arena inside the north dome of the facility. Additional studies in the fall of 2008 changed that plan instead to one that entailed a new stand-alone building. On Sept. 11, 2010, a project blessing ceremony for the $50-million facility was held with many of the key benefactors in attendance. At the ceremony, Swarbrick, announced that the building would be named the Compton Family Ice Arena in honor of the generous donation from Kevin and Gayla Compton and their family. The Comptons are part of the ownership group of the National Hockey League s San Jose Sharks. Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., Notre Dame s President began the ceremony with a blessing of the site and offering of a prayer for the safety of those working on the project. Irish head coach Jeff Jackson followed by talking about the original plans and how those plans changed to become the Compton Family Ice Arena. When I first came here, we were talking about a renovation in the Joyce Center, said Jackson, now in his seventh season behind the Notre Dame bench. With Jack s (Swarbrick) foresight and Tom [Nevala] and everyone involved in pushing for this to happen, waiting an additional year to have a new facility is something that is going to have a tremendous impact on the future of our program and we re very proud of that. An overhead view of the Compton Family Ice Arena taken on May 16, The ice facility is located south of the Joyce Center, just north of Edison Road and west of Leahy Drive and the new Irish track and field facility. The Compton Family Ice Arena will house the Charles Lefty Smith, Jr., Rink and seat 5,000 fans. A second rink will include an Olympic-size sheet of ice with both rinks meant to meet the needs of the University and the local community. Jackson also thanked the benefactors in attendance for their generosity towards the project. Swarbrick spoke at the ceremony, and touched upon how important the Compton Family Ice Arena will be for the Michiana community. There s a limit to how much the community can use our dormitories and our classrooms and our laboratories, but the athletic facilities can be a special point of contact, Swarbrick said. I hope we win national championships with teams that train here and I hope we build new programs for our athletes and our students. But the ultimate success of this facility will be if we inspire a young boy or a young girl from the community to shoot higher, if we challenge them to be better people because they spend time on our campus. Then we ve realized the potential of athletics at Notre Dame. The Compton Family Center will house both the Charles Lefty Smith rink, within the new 5,000-person capacity, home of the Irish hockey team and a second sheet of ice (Olympic-sized) with limited seating availability. The majority of the general public arena seating will be of the chair-back variety. The new building also will include offices for the Notre Dame coaching staff, a state-of-the art locker room suite that includes both wet and dry locker rooms, meeting rooms, a sports medicine area that includes hot and cold hydrotherapy, cardio and weight rooms, a players lounge, equipment areas, video operations and a multi-purpose room that will be the location for weekly team Mass and serve as a study lounge and dining area. The arena also will feature a balcony level with a 200-seat, Irish pub-themed club named O Brien s, multiple concession areas on both levels, spacious restrooms and a merchandise shop. The Compton Family Ice Arena also will serve the Notre Dame and South Bend community as a place for the Irish Youth Hockey League (IYHL) and local figure Construction on the Compton Family Ice Arena has moved quickly. Construction began in March of 2010 with the first steel beams (right) moved into place on July 27, Just over a year later, the Irish are ready to open the new building. 4 UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME Hockey.indb 4 10/24/11 1:30 PM

Here, the scoreboard and video boards are moved into place to begin mounting them while the chair-back seating is being installed on the concourse level. skating groups to flourish. On campus it will become the home of club and interhall hockey, the figure skating club and intramural broomball, curling and physical education classes. Multiple locker rooms also will be available for campus and community use of the facility. The first game at the Compton Family Ice Arena will take place on Oct. 21 against Rensselaer as the Irish will definitely get the keys to the building on Oct. 18 and plan to start moving in that week. The actual dedication game for the new building will be played on Friday, Nov. 18 when Notre Dame faces Boston College on the ice and then at Notre Dame Stadium the following afternoon in football. Design and construction of the Compton Family Center are under the auspices of the Southfield, Mich., office of Barton Malow, a national design and construction services firm and their project partner Rossetti Architects, also of Southfield, Mich. Lefty s Legend To Continue In 2003, former Notre Dame hockey coach Charles Lefty Smith received the Legend of Hockey Award from the Hobey Baker Memorial Award Foundation and was honored at the annual Hobey Baker Awards Banquet that spring in his native Minnesota. Long before that honor recognized Smith nationally, the popular Notre Dame icon had established his legendary status in the South Bend-Michiana area as a hockey coach, administrator, mentor and citizen during his 40-plus years of service to the University. His status in the community was set in stone in April of 2008 at the hockey team s annual awards banquet when it was announced that the new hockey rink at the University of Notre Dame s new ice arena will be named the Charles W. Lefty Smith, Jr., Rink. The plans for naming the new ice surface in honor of Smith were made possible by the generosity of the John and Mary Jo Boler family of Inverness, Ill., and Sanibel Island, Fla., their daughter Jill Boler McCormack 84 and her husband, Dan; and their son Matthew Boler 88 and his wife, Christine. They were joined by the family of Frank 57 and Mary Beth O Brien of Albany, N.Y., who have six children who all graduated from Notre Dame. Their late son, Frankie, played both lacrosse and hockey for the Irish from Smith came to Notre Dame in 1968 to start the varsity hockey program and coached the Irish for 19 years, retiring in 1987 with 307 career victories. Under his tutelage, Notre Dame produced six All-Americans but most importantly, all 126 student-athletes who played for him completed their collegiate eligibility and earned college degrees. Smith, who continues to work as the director of the Loftus Sports Center on campus, served two years as the president of the American Hockey Coaches Association. He was inducted into the Minnesota Hockey Coaches Association Hall of Fame in He played an integral in bringing the International Special Olympics to Notre Dame in Lefty and his wife, Mickey, who passed away on Nov. 9, 2009, were married for 57 years. They are the parents of seven living children, with 16 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Charles Lefty Smith talks to Tom Nevala, senior associate athletics director on Sept. 22, 2011 on his first tour of the Compton Family Ice Arena. Smith, along with his former assistant coach, Tim McNeill (behind Smith), were on hand to help paint the new ice. The former coaching duo put the first sheet of ice down at the Joyce Center in 1968 and helped christen the new sheet on the Lefty Smith Rink HOCKEY Hockey.indb 5 10/24/11 1:30 PM

That group joins junior left wing Nick Larson, a 2008 selection of the Calgary Flames in the fourth round, 108th overall and senior defenseman Sean Lorenz, a member of the 2008 draft class, by the Minnesota Wild in the fourth round, 115th overall NUMERO UNO Notre Dame reached the top of the college hockey rankings twice during the season, marking the third and fourth time in the program s 41-year history that the Irish sat atop the national polls. From Dec. 1 to Jan. 26 (seven weeks), Notre Dame was ranked first in both the USA Today/ American Hockey Magazine and USCHO.com/CSTV polls. The Irish then reached the top spot one time in each poll the rest of the season - the week of Feb. 23 in the USA Today poll and the week of March 16 in the USCHO.com rankings. Previously, Notre Dame reached number one in the nation status during the season. The Irish moved into the top spot in both polls on Feb. 5, 2007 and remained there for seven consecutive weeks through March 25. The Irish finished the year ranked fourth in the USA Today poll that covers the entire season and finished number one in the USCHO.com poll that ended with the finish of the regular season HOCKEY Hockey.indb 15 10/24/11 1:31 PM

18 Season Preview Great Anticipation Greets The Irish In Campaign Notre Dame looks to build on Frozen Four finish of 2011 and the opening of the new Compton Family Arena. Excitement and anticipation surround the Notre Dame hockey team as the Irish prepare to start the season. First, Notre Dame returns 17 letter winners from a team that was overall and in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. The Irish were in first place in the CCHA until the final day of the season when Michigan snuck past them to take the top spot by a mere two points. The Notre Dame icers turned in a bounce-back season from the previous year when they were and lost in the first round of the CCHA playoffs. And, head coach Jeff Jackson and his staff did it with 12 freshmen on the roster, playing as many as 11 on given nights. With a young lineup, Notre Dame came together as a team due, in part, to outstanding leadership from its upperclassmen. The Irish put it all together at the right time and advanced to the NCAA Frozen Four for just the second time in the program s history where they fell in the semifinals to eventual champion, Minnesota-Duluth. How far can this year s team go is the new big question? Early season prognosticators think highly of the Irish and one thing for sure is that they won t be able to sneak up and surprise anyone this year. The second thing on the list that players and fans alike anticipate is the move to the state-of-the-art, 5,000-seat Compton Family Ice Arena. The new home of the Irish hockey program is set to open on Oct. 18 and promises to give the Notre Dame hockey program a first-class facility for its players to add new banners to the rafters in coming years. While anticipation and expectations are nice to have, they can also become a burden and a weight on a team s shoulders, especially when that team has never had to deal with it in the past. That s where Jackson comes in. The veteran coach will have his team prepared to start the season where they left off last April. During the early weeks of September, he summed up how the Irish can look at their success. As a team we can be happy that we made it to the Frozen Four, explains Jackson, now in his seventh season behind the Notre Dame bench. Or, we can look back and realize that we lost our last game of the season. That s the mindset that I want our players to have, that we still have some goals to accomplish.. After having to replace 13 players a year ago, Notre Dame lost only five players to graduation and none to pro hockey. Of those five, four were everyday players and key leaders who contributed both on and off the ice. Lost to graduation were defenseman and team captain Joe Goaltenders Mike Johnson Jr , 2.62 GAA, 904 save% in Joe Rogers So , 3.00 GAA,.889 Steven Summerhays So , 3.04,.863 Lavin, forwards Ryan Guentzel, Calle Ridderwall and Ben Ryan and fourth goaltender Brian Brooke. Lavin and Guentzel get a great deal of credit for the way they indoctrinated the freshman class into the Notre Dame hockey program starting with the day the rookies arrived for summer school in June The duo helped make the transition to college go smoothly while mixing them with the returning players. On the ice, both had career seasons. Lavin, who joined the Irish in Jan. of 2010 after transferring from Providence College, had six goals and 11 assists for 17 points and proved to be a capable leader in a very short time as his teammates chose him as team captain after half a season in South Bend. Guentzel, Ridderwall and Ryan were all that remained from an outstanding recruiting class that began their careers in During their four seasons in an Irish jersey, that trio turned in a mark of (.625), won one CCHA regular-season and tournament title ( ) and are the only players in school history to play in two Frozen Fours. Guentzel, an alternate captain, saved his best for last as a senior. He turned in career highs in 10-11, with six goals and 33 assists for 39 points in 44 games. His assist totals led the team in that category. In his first 100 career games, the Minnesota native had four goals and 17 assists for 21 points. Ridderwall, who joined Guentzel and Ryan as alternate captains, closed out his brilliant career, scoring 16 goals with nine assists for 25 points. He finished in the top 10 in the program s history with 27 career power-play goals among his 57 lamplighters. Ryan was one of the team s top playmakers during his career and chipped in six goals and 19 assists for 25 points. One of the CCHA s top face-off men, the Brighton, Mich., native finished his career tied for fifth on the all-time games played list with 159 and just missed the 100-point mark in his career with 35 goals and 62 points for 97 points. While replacing the leadership group will be a key task for Jackson, goaltending shouldn t be a problem as the former goaltender has three quality puckstoppers to call on this season. The trio includes one junior - Mike Johnson (Verona, Wis.) and a pair of sophomores in Steven Summerhays (Anchorage, Alaska) and Joe Rogers (Marysville, Mich.). In his first two seasons, Johnson has carried the load for Notre Dame in goal, having already played in 65 career games, making 62 starts. In those games, the steady junior is with a 2.61 goals-against average and a.906 save percentage. During the season, Johnson became just the sixth Notre Dame goaltender to win 20 games in a season as he was on the year with a 2.62 goals-against average and a.904 save percentage. He played a key role in the Irish advancing to the Frozen Four as he was the most valuable player of the NCAA Northeast Regional and the all-tournament goalkeeper as he gave up just four goals on 73 shots in a 4-3 overtime win against Merrimack and a 2-1 win over New Hampshire in the regional final. Summerhays was eased into the Notre Dame lineup early in the season then alternated with Johnson in goal during the second half of the season. 16 UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME Junior goaltender Mike Johnson became the sixth goaltender in Irish history to win 20 or more games in a season in when he was with a 2.62 goals-against average and a.904 save percentage. The athletic, butterfly-style goaltender played in 12 games, making 10 starts. He had a 3.04 goals-against average and a.863 save percentage. He had the opportunity to play in several big games during the season, including making his first career start against Boston University in the Warrior IceBreaker championship game on the first weekend of the season. Rogers saw action in one game, playing the final 20 minutes in a win over Canisius. He gave up one goal for a 3.00 goals against and has a.889 save percentage. I have confidence in our three goaltenders who continue to work hard to improve their overall games, says Jackson. It takes time to develop at this level. If you look at David Brown, he really came on in his third season. Jordan Pearce was a back up for two years and then really stepped up as a junior and senior. A look at the Notre Dame defensive roster shows a young group of players headed by lone senior, captain Sean Lorenz (Littleton, Colo). After that it s a junior - Sam Calabrese (Park Ridge, Ill.) - who has really only played one full season, four sophomores and two freshman that round out the eight-man unit. Despite the youth, this group has experience as the returnees all played at least 25 games a year ago. Lorenz returns for his final season and will be the anchor of the blue line. As a junior, the 6-1, 207-pounder had a breakout campaign. A steady, stay-at-home defender, Lorenz added offense to his game, scoring four goals with 11 assists for 15 points, while not missing a game. His strong defensive play helped him lead the CCHA with an amazing +33 for the year. It also earned him the CCHA defensive defenseman of the year award and Notre Dame s William Donald Nyrop Award as the team s top defender. Calabrese went from playing three games as a freshmen due to injuries to being an honorable mention all-ccha Hockey.indb 16 10/24/11 1:31 PM

19 player in He led all Irish defensemen in scoring with six goals and 12 assists and was second to Lorenz with an excellent +23 for the year. An outstanding skater, he has all the tools to be a top college defenseman. He will be counted on in all roles this season by Jackson and his staff. Four sophomores will battle for playing time after getting a baptism under fire as rookies. All four sophs - Jared Beers (Mishawaka, Ind.), Stephen Johns (Wampum, Pa.), Kevin Lind (Homer Glen, Ill.) and Shayne Taker (Surrey, B.C.) - had solid freshman years and contributed at both ends of the ice. The foursome has excellent size and, with a year under strength and conditioning coach Tony Rolinski, has added muscle to their frames. All are strong skaters and bring excellent hockey skills to the lineup. Beers, the local product, showed that he could compete at the Division I level, playing in 25 games with a goal and six assists while being +4 in the plus-minus department. A smart, player, Beers moves the puck well and has a knack for finding the open man. He will look to contribute even more to the Irish defense in his second year. The rookie defenseman who had the biggest impact not only on the defense but the entire team would be Johns. At 6-4, 230 pounds, the big, physical defenseman really made the Irish a different team because of his penchant for the physical game and dishing out big hits all over the ice. Opponents must keep an eye on where Johns is at all time or risk getting hammered into the boards or at the blue line coming into the Notre Dame zone. Along the way, the Chicago Black Hawks draft choice, showed good hands and an ability to move the puck. Blessed with a big shot from the point, Johns will look to step up the offensive end of his game to become an even bigger force on the Irish defense. He chipped in a pair of goals with 11 assists for 13 points while leading the team with 98 penalty minutes, with many of those coming early in the year as he adapted to the college game. Lind teams up with Johns and Taker to bring size to the defense. At 6-3, 217 pounds the 19-year old sophomore Defensemen Jared Beers So g-6a, 25 GP in '10-'11 Sam Calabrese Jr g-12a, 44 GP in Stephen Johns So g-11, 44 GP in '10-'11 Eric Johnson Fr Kevin Lind So g-10a, 32 GP in '10-'11 Sean Lorenz Sr g-11a, 44 GP in Robbie Russo Fr Shayne Taker So g-8a, 31 GP in '10-'11 is still a growing boy. He joined the Irish a year ahead of schedule last season when Jarred Tinordi defected to the OHL and despite joining the team late, never seemed to have any problems adapting to the collegiate game. Lind played in 32 games, scoring a goal with 10 assists and was +7 for the year. Not quite as physical as his counterpart, Johns, the Illinois native will look to add that mean streak to his game in Strong on his skates, he moves the puck well and after a strong summer will look to take another step this season. Selected by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2010 NHL Draft, Lind has all the tools to be an outstanding collegiate defenseman and could see himself playing in a top four role this year. Rounding out the sophomore class is Taker who checks in at 6-4, 197 pounds after adding 13 pounds to his frame since last September. More of an offensiveminded defender, Taker (pronounced Tacker) has excellent quickness and strong puck-handling skills that make him a threat offensively. As a freshman, he may have had the best start of the defensive group, getting off quickly with points in his first three games to open the year. He finished with a goal and eight assists for nine points in 31 games and was a solid +9 for the year. Taker will look to be more consistent every night this season and add some growl to his game. The experience that he gained a year ago will go a long way in helping him become a more complete player in his second year. The Irish added a pair of freshmen defensemen this season in Eric Johnson (Verona, Wis.) and Robbie Russo (Westmont, Ill.). Johnson is the brother of Irish goaltender Mike Johnson and is a strong defensive, defenseman. He split the season with the Wenatchee Wild of the North American Hockey League and the Dubuque Fighting Saints of the United States Hockey League. In 19 games with Wenatchee as the team captain, Johnson had two assists and 18 minutes in penalties. His rights were traded to Dubuque midway through the year where he had a goal and two assists with 24 penalty minutes in 33 games playing for former Irish volunteer assistant coach Jim Montgomery. At 6-1, 206 pounds, Johnson will look to become more physical, using his size and frame to his advantage. He has the tools to become a solid defenseman but needs to become more confident and consistent in his all-around game. Russo joins the Notre Dame roster after spending the past two seasons with the U.S. National Team Development Program in Ann Arbor, Mich. A talented, offensive-minded defender, the 6-0, 189-pound defenseman is strong on his skates and makes good decisions with the puck, playing with poise and confidence. A 2011 draft choice of the New York Islanders, Russo figures to be in the running to quarterback the Irish power play this season. A team captain with the U.S. Under-18 team a year ago, he was sixth in team scoring with four goals and 26 assists for 30 points. During his final season with the U.S. team, he helped them to gold medals at the Four Nations, Five Nations and Under-18 World Championships. At the World Championships, he was selected as one of the USA s top three players. On the offensive side of the puck, the Irish return the nucleus of a team that tied for third in the nation with 151 goals, the most for a Notre Dame team since the season. The Irish were 10th in goals-per-game with 3.43, their highest mark since averaging 4.06 in Junior defenseman Sam Calabrese led all Irish defensemen in scoring in and was an honorable mention all-ccha selection. Notre Dame returns nine of its top 12 scorers from last season led by the dynamic sophomore duo of T.J. Tynan (Orland Park, Ill.) and Anders Lee (Edina, Minn.). Those two accounted for 47 goals and 51 assists for 98 points. They are joined by senior Billy Maday (Burr Ridge, Ill.) and juniors Riley Sheahan (St. Catharine s, Ont.) and Nick Larson (Apple Valley, Minn.) for the top five returning scorers. Maday will serve as a team captain along with Sean Lorenz and is coming off a season that saw him score 10 goals with 17 assists for 27 points while being +2 for the year. He will be moved from right wing back to center, his original positon he played in juniors. A strong skater, this gives him the opportunity to carry the puck up the middle of the ice and look to set his wingers up for scoring chances. A natural leader, Maday will look to pick up where he ended the season when he was one of the team s top scorers down the stretch. Joining Maday at forward from the senior class are Patrick Gaul (Pittsburgh, Pa.), Rich Ryan (Toronto, Ont.) and Nick Condon (Wausau, Wis.). All three saw limited action last season and will look to get into the regular rotation at their respective spots. Gaul is a strong center iceman who is good on face offs and on the penalty kill. Ryan is a hard-working left wing who is a strong skater with a good shot. Condon moves back to forward, a position he played in juniors. He has lined up on defense in his first three seasons at Notre Dame. A speedy skater with good puck-handling skills, he gives the coaching staff some versatility as he can move back and forth between offense and defense if needed in a game. Leading the juniors are center Riley Sheahan and left wing Nick Larson with both players coming off strong seasons. Sheahan, a first-round draft choice of the Detroit Red Wings in 2010, continued to be an outstanding player at both ends of the ice as he scored five goals and added 17 assists for 22 points in 40 games. The talented center played some of the best hockey of his career in the final two months of the season and was a force in the NCAA Tournament. Strong on HOCKEY Hockey.indb 17 10/24/11 1:31 PM

He is definitely a player that his teammates look to on the ice. Larson continued to see his game improve as a sophomore as he turned in career highs in goals (10), assists (9) and points (19) with two power-play goals and two game winners. A hard-working player, the Irish will be counting on bigger and better things from the 6-2, 207-pound portsider who has the ability to be a top power forward. Larson plays a physical style that makes him a force in front of the net and in the corners. Look for him to see time on the power play in front of the net, making things difficult for opposing defenders and goaltenders. Rounding out the forward ranks among the junior class is right wing Kevin Nugent (New Canaan, Conn.). The 6-3, 198-pound forward is a competitive player who brings energy and a positive attitude to the Notre Dame roster. As a sophomore, Nugent saw limited playing time, getting into six games, picking up an assist. He will look to see more playing time this season by using his size to play a more physical style especially in the offensive end of the ice. The sophomore class brings six forwards to the lineup, all who played key roles in their rookie years in The group produced 77 goals and 88 assists for 165 points with 17 power-play goals, four short-handed tallies and 12 game winners in their first season. Leading the group is speedy center T.J. Tynan who had a brilliant rookie season with 23 goals and 31 assists for 54 points to lead the CCHA and the nation s freshmen in scoring. The Hockey Commissioner s Association (HCA) national rookie of the year, the CCHA rookie of the year and one of Notre Dame s two rookies of the year, Tynan can do it all. At 5-8, 167, he is the ultimate competitor with incredible hockey instincts and the ability to play at both ends of the ice. Tynan brings speed and a tenacity to the ice that opens the ice for his linemates. A magician with the puck, he has an incredible knack for finding the open man while also having the ability to score from anywhere on the ice. A third-round pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2011, the biggest obstacle Tynan faces in his second year is the fact that his opponents know who he is this year and will make it a priority to stop the top returning scorer on the Irish roster. While they are keeping an eye out for Tynan, the opposition can t forget left wing Anders Lee who teamed with Tynan to form a dynamic offensive freshman duo for the Irish in Lee scored a team-high 24 goals and added 20 assists for 44 points. He tied for the team lead in power-play goals (6), added a short-handed goal and tied a Notre Dame single-season mark with seven game-winning goals. A dynamic player, Lee is a prototypical power forward with a blazing shot and a non-stop drive on the ice. At 6-3, 227 pounds he is a force to be reckoned with at both ends of the ice. A talented all-around athlete, he leads by example and will serve as an alternate captain in his second year. Like Tynan, Lee will have a bullseye on his back this year from opposing defenses but that won t stop a player who has the drive to be one of the top players in the nation. Overshadowed by the success of Tynan and Lee are the four remaining sophomore forwards right wings Bryan Rust (Novi, Mich.) and Mike Voran (Livonia, Mich.), left wing Jeff Costello (Milwaukee, Wis.) and center David Gerths (Ankeny, Iowa). Rust had a strong rookie season on the right side, picking up six goals and 13 assists for 19 points while seeing action in all situations. A proven scorer and playmaker, Rust brings speed to the lineup and has shown the ability to play in all situations and should be a factor on Irish special teams this year. At 5-11, 202, he will look to add a physical dimension to his game, making plays in the corners and along the boards while chipping in goals from the dirty areas around the crease. Voran also had a nice freshman year, notching 19 points on four goals and 15 assists while having the versatility to play anywhere in the lineup from a spot on the top line to a role on a checking line. Blessed with excellent hockey smarts, Voran can score goals or set them up and has the ability to make those around him better. He will look to take the next step in his game this season and become a key factor in the offense. The Irish will look for him to play a more physical style and develop a presence around the goal. 18 UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME Playing on the left side is Jeff Costello who scored 12 goals and chipped in six assists for 18 points last season. He tied for the team lead with six power-play goals and had three game winners. The Milwaukee native plays a tough, hard-nosed physical game and doesn t shy away from contact. Many of his goals come from around the front of the net. His style of play makes him an excellent candidate for time on the Notre Dame power play. The last member of the six-man sophomore class is Gerths who had a strong freshman year at center. He plays the game with an edge and doesn t stray from the physical play. He gave the Irish a scoring threat on the fourth line as a rookie, notching eight goals with three assists for 11 points. Gerths works hard and wants to get better. He will look to play with more poise to avoid getting frustrated during games, taking him out of his style of play. He showed good hands around the net and is definitely a player who makes himself at home in front of opposing goaltenders. After having six rookie forwards a year ago, just three dot the roster this season. Garrett Peterson (Manhattan, Ill.), Peter Schneider (Vienna, Austria) and Austin Wuthrich (Anchorage, Alaska) will look to break into the lineup as freshmen and all three are right wings. Peterson is a high-energy player who plays a physical, nasty game. A strong skater with excellent speed, he s a player who has the ability to get under the opposition s skin. A product of the Lincoln Stars in the USHL, Peterson had 21 goals with 17 assists for 38 points while racking up 130 penalty minutes in 43 games. He plays an effective style with big hits that disrupt the opposition. Look for him to play a role on the Irish penalty killing unit. Schneider, a native of Austria, becomes the third European to play for Notre Dame, joining Swedes Calle Ridderwall and Robin Bergman. He s a gifted-goal scorer with great wheels and an excellent shot. Schneider played last season for the Indiana Ice in the USHL where he had 30 goals and 24 assists for 54 points in 55 games. Like all goal scorers, he has great instincts and knows how to make plays. He can be a factor in if he can adapt quickly to the college game and learn to play at both ends of the ice. Wuthrich rounds out the Notre Dame roster. He s a young player who came through the U.S. National program but missed most of last season with a broken leg suffered early in the season. He finished with three goals and five assists in 18 games, splitting time between the Under-17 and Under-18 teams. The Alaska native will look to work his way into the lineup this season and continue to develop all aspects of his game. He caught the eye of the Irish coaching staff while playing for Team Illinois two years ago. Wuthrich is a strong skater with good instincts on the ice and the ability to make plays. He will just need to be patient but be ready to go when his time comes. As usual, the Irish play an ambitious schedule that includes 28 CCHA contests with non-league tilts versus Minnesota- Duluth, Boston College, Northeastern, Boston University and Minnesota on the docket. Jackson and his staff are ready to get the season started. We will need to be more consistent this year and learn to deal with adversity better than we did last season, says Jackson. Playing with poise when things aren t going our way is something that we need to work on. We learned that the hard way last year when penalties hurt us in key situations. Our youth and enthusiasm made this a special team a year ago. I want to keep that feeling around the team and use our experiences to make us a better team. I really liked the way we played last year and believe we can be an even better team this season Hockey.indb 18 10/24/11 1:31 PM

However, there are several elements of the game that the committee requests additional attention: Targeting - In some cases, it was misunderstood that "targeting" the head and neck was only to be reserved for a player who intentionally delivered contact in this area. That is not the case. Targeting and directly contacting the head and neck area should clearly be a major penalty and at least a game misconduct. But targeting is not a requirement for this rule to be enforced. In fact, this concept was not included in this rule because it is nearly impossible for an official to judge intent. Blindside/Unsuspecting players - The committee notes the importance of the following existing language in the rules book: "A player delivering a check to an unsuspecting and vulnerable player puts themselves in jeopardy of being penalized under this rule." The committee views this portion of the rule as similiar to the hitting from behind standard. the responsibility lies with the player delivering the contact. Additional Guidance Situations - Currently, there are several points in the rules intended to illustrate situations where players are vulnerable or types of contact may lead to a penalty under this rule. As additional guidance, the committee approved the following situations to add to the list, which is on page HR-62 of the rules book: A player that is reckless. A player that is about to receive a pass. Direct contact with the head or neck from any direction. Overall Enforcement - The committee believes the season was a good start with the understanding and enforcement of this rule. As with any safety-related rule, the intended result is to change player behavior. The committee understands how difficult it can be to make this call in the moment at full speed and continues to instruct officials to gather and communicate before making the penalty determination. While the penalty is severe, the long-term impact of changing the standard of acceptable contact should not be discounted. If officials have any of the ingredients listed in the rules book, the contact to the head penalty must be enforced. Embellishment/Diving - According to the results of the rules survey data, this issue is clearly a concern of coaches. The committee decided to make these actions a point of emphasis, instructing officials to stringently enforce this penalty on any player who blatantly dives, embellishes a fall or feigns an injury. These penalties may be enforced independently, together or in conjunction with another penalty (e.g., hooking on Team A, embellishment on Team B). It is also important to note that the rules that deal with obstruction and protection of the puck carrier remain in full effect. Any deviation from a strict enforcement standard in these areas can contribute to embellishment and diving by players who are fouled but no penalty is called. This is also an ethical issue that the committee expects coaches to reinforce with players for the betterment of the game. Obstruction Along The Boards - Players are allowed to press and release along the boards, and use the free hand to guide an opponent for this purpose. A player that holds or impedes in any manner must be called for obstruction, but the initial press and release is a legal play. Facewashing Reminder - Rule 6-14-a on page HR-64 clearly defines facewashing, which occurs most often after a stoppage of play. The committee continues to see the need for stringent enforcement and notes this action deals directly with respect and sportsmanship. The rule and penalties are listed below as a reminder: Accidental/Incidental contact with the hand on an opponent s facemask: NO penalty. Placing a hand on the opponent s facemask: MINOR penalty. Placing and moving the hand back and forth (facewashing): MAJOR penalty. Grasping and pulling/twisting the opponent s facemask: DISQUALIFICATION penalty. 20 UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME Hockey.indb 20 10/24/11 1:31 PM

60 Head Coach Jeff Jackson Head Coach Seventh Season at Notre Dame Michigan State '78 Notre Dame hockey coach Jeff Jackson enters his seventh season directing the Irish hockey program. In his first six years, the program has had some of its greatest moments. When Notre Dame went looking for a new hockey coach following the campaign, the University searched for a man who could move the program among the elite hockey schools in the country. The search took them in one direction - Jeff Jackson. The veteran coach owned a resume packed with success at the collegiate, junior hockey, professional and international levels. Throughout his coaching career, Jackson s teams had been successful both on and off the ice and the hope was that he could deliver those same qualities for the Irish. After six seasons as the guiding force behind the Notre Dame bench, its safe to say that the Irish hit a home run with the selection of Jackson. In that span, Notre Dame has become one of the nation s top teams, winning the Central Collegiate Hockey Association s (CCHA) regular season and tournament titles twice - taking both titles in and and has made four trips to the NCAA Tournament ( , ), advancing to the NCAA Frozen Four twice, playing in the 2008 title game and the 2011 semifinals. Over the past five seasons, Jackson s icers are among the winningest programs in the nation in wins and winning percentage, going (.661) since the start of the campaign. Between 06-09, the Irish turned in win totals of 32, 27 and 31 for three consecutive seasons of 25-or more wins and three NCAA tournament appearances for the first time in the program s 44-year history. Jackson s recent success on the ice also has helped off the ice. With the wins have come a commitment from the University that has led to a new home - The Compton Family Ice Arena - that the team will move into this season. The Irish will go into their brand new building coming off a magical run to the Frozen Four in During last season, the Irish bounced back from a disappointing campaign to go overall while leading the CCHA until the final week of the season. Notre Dame was in the conference and finished second to Michigan by two points. After dropping both games in the CCHA Tournament, the Irish got hot in the NCAA s, winning the Northeast Regional with wins over Merrimack (4-3 in overtime) and New Hampshire (2-1) to advance to the Frozen Four in St. Paul, Minn. There, Notre Dame fell in the semifinals to eventual champion, Minnesota-Duluth, with a 4-3 loss. The key to Irish success in was the infusion of youth as 12 freshmen dotted the roster with as many as 11 of them playing on any given night. Jackson and his staff were able to mesh the energy of youth with solid veteran leadership to turn the Irish around from their season and return Notre Dame to the national picture last year. For his efforts, the veteran coach was selected as the CCHA s coach of the year for the third time ( 90-91, and 10-11) and was a finalist for the Spencer Penrose Award as the national coach of the year. In , Notre Dame battled injuries and struggled to score all year long on the way to a overall record and a mark in the CCHA that put the Irish ninth in the conference. Prior to that, Notre Dame was one of the top programs in the nation over a three-year span. The campaign was a year to remember as Notre Dame won its second conference and playoff title in three years. A slow start left the team with a record. It would then be three months before the Irish would lose again as they went on a 20-game unbeaten streak (17-0-3) from Oct. 31 to Jan. 17, while being number one in the nation for seven consecutive weeks for the second time in the program s history. After seeing the streak stopped, Notre Dame would lose just one more time during the regular season. The Irish ended the regular season and the CCHA tournament on a 10-game winning streak. Notre Dame finished first in the conference with a mark, eight points ahead of second-place Miami and Michigan. The Irish advanced to Joe Louis Arena for the third consecutive year by beating Nebraska-Omaha in the second round of the playoffs. The Irish then knocked off Northern Michigan, 2-1, in the semifinals and rallied from a 2-0 deficit to beat Michigan for the CCHA title in a 5-2 victory. Notre Dame went into the NCAA Tournament as the top seed in the Midwest Regional and was upset in the opening round by Bemidji State, UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME Jeff Jackson is the fourth head coach in the 44-year modern history of the Notre Dame hockey program. In 12 seasons as a Division I head coach, Jackson owns a career record and his.691 winning percentage is the best among active coaches. JACKSON AT A GLANCE Full Name Jeffery L.

61 While the ending wasn t quite what Jackson and his team were hoping for, the year would go down as one of the most successful for the Irish. The 31 wins were the second most ever at Notre Dame and the Irish had the lowest goals-against average in the nation (1.71) for the second time in three years. The stingy defense resulted in a nation-leading nine shutouts while the Irish power-play led the country by scoring at a 22.6% clip. In six seasons behind the Notre Dame bench, Jeff Jackson has guided the Irish to a record. Over that span, Notre Dame has won two CCHA regular-season and tournament titles (2007 and 2009), and made four NCAA appearances, advancing to the Frozen Four in 2008 and For the first time since the season, Notre Dame had two players selected All- American as defenseman Ian Cole took first team honors and Erik Condra, second team honors. In , the Irish were on the year and finished fourth in the CCHA with a mark. They advanced to the CCHA Tournament in Detroit, but scored just twice at Joe Louis Arena in an overtime loss to Miami in the semifinals and a third-place loss to Northern Michigan. The last at-large team to make the NCAA tournament, the Notre Dame offense came to life when it counted. Advancing to the NCAA West Regional, the Irish knocked off New Hampshire, 7-3, in the first game of the regional and then stopped Michigan State, 3-1, to win the region, becoming the first fourth-seeded team to advance to the Frozen Four. At the Frozen Four, Jackson s squad upset No. 1-ranked Michigan, 5-4, in overtime to move to the national championship game versus Boston College.

For his successful season behind the Irish bench, Jackson was named the CCHA coach-of-the-year and the winner of the Spencer Penrose Award as the national coach-of-the-year. In just six seasons guiding the Irish, Jackson has seen the program go from five wins to 13 victories in his first season, to 138 wins over the last five years.

The 56-year-old bench boss took over the Notre Dame hockey program on May 6, 2005 as the fourth coach since the program s Division I inception in For Jackson, it was a return to his roots coaching at the collegiate level where he got his start behind the bench at Lake Superior State. He inherited a team that struggled through a difficult season in and had lost confidence in itself. The Roseville, Mich., native and his staff went right to work to change the team s attitude and perception. They made giant strides on and off the ice in that first season directing the team s fortunes. After a slow start (3-9-1), his players began to buy into what the new coach was selling and the Irish finished the year with a mark over the final 23 games. In CCHA play, the Irish showed a 15-point improvement over going from to good for eighth place in the league and the final home-ice spot in the CCHA playoffs. Only Miami made a bigger jump in with a 16-point improvement. In Jackson s first six seasons, 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. Since Jackson s arrival, the Irish have had 19 players selected in the National Hockey League Entry Draft, including four in the first round. In that same span, 13 players from USA Hockey s National Team Developmental Program have matriculated to Notre Dame, not to mention several players who have been junior hockey all-stars in both the United States and Canada. Over the past five years, Jackson has seen his teams lead the nation in team defense twice, (1.63 goals against in and 1.71 in 08-09), penalty killing (.904 success rate in 06-07) and the power play (22.6% in 08-09). Jackson heads into the season with a 12-year collegiate record of for a.691 winning percentage, the best percentage among all Division I coaches with five years or more in Division I. His 323 career wins ranks 10th among active coaches. Success is nothing new for Jackson on the Division I level. He returned to college hockey in after nine years away. In six years 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 ( 91 and 96) and four CCHA playoff trophies ( 91, 92, 93 and 95).

In making the announcement of Jackson s hiring, then Notre Dame director of athletics, Kevin White said, Jeff Jackson has a first-hand appreciation of exactly what it takes to be successful at the very highest level of the collegiate hockey world. His accomplishments at Lake Superior State in winning multiple NCAA titles combined with his work and connections from the United States national developmental program and from the professional level provide him a solid foundation from which to lead the Notre Dame hockey program. The highly regarded Jackson brings over 24 years of coaching experience to the Irish as an assistant and a head coach at the NCAA Division I level, on the international level with the U.S. national program, in major junior hockey and at the National Hockey League level. A 1978 graduate of Michigan State University with a degree in communications, Jackson followed with a degree in education in Jackson got his start in college hockey as an assistant coach at Lake Superior State in 1986 where he served four years under Frank Anzalone, helping guide the Lakers to one CCHA championship and the 1988 NCAA title.

They lost in the NCAA quarterfinals to Clarkson, two games to one. A year later, Lake Superior State ran off its second 30+ win season under Jackson, going on the year, while finishing second in the league with a mark. The Lakers proceeded to knock off Alaska Anchorage and Minnesota in the regionals before beating Michigan State (4-2) in the semifinals and Wisconsin (5-3) in Albany, N.Y., in the first of three consecutive trips to the NCAA finals.

The conference opens its second season with 11 teams following the departure of Nebraska-Omaha to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association following the season. The CCHA is coming off a season that saw two of its teams - Notre Dame and Michigan - advance to the NCAA Frozen Four for the second time in the last four seasons. To date, CCHA teams have won eight NCAA championships over the last 28 years with the last win coming in the 2007 title game by Michigan State. The Spartans victory was their second national title as they also won the 1986 championship. They join Bowling Green (1984), Lake Superior State winners of the most titles as a CCHA-member team (1988, 1992 and 1994) and Michigan (1996, 1998). The Wolverines own a total of nine NCAA titles, the most in the nation. Northern Michigan also won the crown in 1991 as a member of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. Besides the eight NCAA champions, the CCHA has seen its teams reach the NCAA s Frozen Four 22 times in those same 28 seasons, with Michigan (9) and Michigan State (7) leading the way. For the fourth consecutive year, CCHA teams advanced to the Frozen Four with Notre Dame and Michigan advancing in The Irish fell to Minnesota-Duluth in the semifinals while Michigan lost to the Bulldogs in the title game. In 2010, Miami fell in the semifinals to Boston College and the previous year, the Red Hawks lost in the national title game to Boston University. In 2008, Notre Dame made its first-ever appearance in the finals, advancing with a 5-4 overtime win against Michigan to move to the national title game for the first time where they fell to Boston College. In 1992, the CCHA sent three teams to the Frozen Four with Lake Superior winning and Michigan and Michigan State each reaching the semifinals. In 2004, the league set an NCAA record by sending five teams to the NCAA tournament as Michigan, Miami, Ohio State, Michigan State and Notre Dame all advanced. For Notre Dame, it marked the first time in the program s history that the Irish were selected for postseason play In each of the last two seasons, the conference has had four teams make the NCAA Tournament. In , Notre Dame, Michigan, Miami and Western Michigan all advanced. In , it was Miami, Michigan, Northern Michigan and for the first time, Alaska, all moving on in postseason play. The campaign also saw the league pick up its seventh Hobey Baker Memorial Award as Miami s Andy Miele joined Michigan s Kevin Porter (2008), Michigan State s Ryan Miller (2001), Michigan s Brendan Morrison (1996), Bowling Green s Brian Holzinger (1995), Michigan State s Kip Miller (1990) and Bowling Green s George McPhee (1982), as winners of college hockey s top award. The CCHA began in with four teams: Bowling Green, Ohio State and Ohio University from the Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association and an independent, St. Louis University. Lake Superior joined the league the following season and the league weathered the next two seasons after Ohio dropped its program and Ohio State became an independent. The CCHA began establishing its reputation as a haven for fledgling programs in when Western Michigan 102 UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME joined the league. Ohio State rejoined that year and Northern Michigan s arrival in brought the CCHA s membership to six teams. After a season as a provisional member, Ferris State joined the league in St. Louis dropped its program the same year, leaving Bowling Green as the team with the longest tenure in the CCHA. Miami University joined the league in after spending as a provisional member. In , the CCHA added four teams from the WCHA Michigan, Michigan State, Michigan Tech and Notre Dame raising its membership to 11 teams. The CCHA reached an all-time high of 12 teams in , with the addition of the University of Illinois at Chicago. Notre Dame left the league in , only to return 10 years later. Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan jumped to the WCHA in , reducing the CCHA to nine teams where it would stay for eight seasons. In , Kent State joined the league and Alaska Fairbanks began its three-year run as an affiliate. Kent State discontinued its program after two seasons while Illinois- Chicago did the same after the season. Northern Michigan rejoined the conference in , following 13 years as a member of the WCHA, bringing the CCHA membership to 11 teams. The campaign marked the addition of a 12th member the University of Nebraska Omaha and a new look for the CCHA. With the Mavericks joining the CCHA, the league expanded its postseason tournament and reduced its conference schedule to 28 games to determine the regular-season champion. Things would stay the same until In , each CCHA member will continue to play 28 conference games. This season, Notre Dame will play four games (two home and two away) versus Alaska, Bowling Green, Ferris State and Western Michigan with two games against Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State at home and two games versus Lake Superior, Miami and Northern Michigan on the road for its 28-game conference schedule. The playoff format will remain the same that was put in place in as the first five teams in the regular-season standings will receive a first-round bye. The remaining six teams will play a best-of-three series (11 vs. 6, 10 vs. 7 and 9 vs. 8) with the winners advancing to the second round. In the second round, the top three seeds will host the lowest remaining seed with fourth place facing fifth in a best-ofthree series with the four winners advancing to Joe Louis Arena for the CCHA Championship. In , the CCHA became the first conference to adopt an NHL-style shootout to determine the winner of all 168 regular-season conference games that are tied after 60 minutes of regulation and five minutes of overtime. The shootout is used to decide CCHA games but count as ties overall to preserve the integrity of the national rankings. The CCHA has also approved the following point system for regular-season play: Three (3) points for a win in regulation or overtime, one (1) point for each school if the game is tied at the conclusion of the five-minute overtime period and one (1) point is awarded to the team who wins the shootout Hockey.indb /24/11 1:33 PM

124 Irish Hockey History Notre Dame Hockey Enters A New Era In Irish icers set to open a new chapter as they move to the state-of-the-art Compton Family Ice Arena. THE EARLY YEARS From playing on frozen St. Joseph Lake on the Notre Dame campus, to South Bend s Howard Park Rink, to their own 43-plus years at the Joyce Center and the program s future home - the Compton Family Center this season, the Notre Dame hockey program has experienced a little bit of everything in its on-again, off-again 100-year history. While most followers of Notre Dame s 44-year hockey history know the story since the program received Division I status in 1968, there are several earlier chapters that were the building blocks for the Gold Standard as we know it today. Notre Dame first played collegiate hockey in the academic year, playing three games. The inaugural game was played at Culver Military Academy on Feb. 19, 1913 with Notre Dame prevailing, 6-0. That first team went After that first season, the program took a seven-year hiatus, returning again in under the guidance of two-time football All-American running back Paul Castner. The football standout served as player-coach from before serving as coach for two more seasons following his graduation. In four seasons at the helm, Castner s teams were while playing against the likes of Michigan College of Mines (now Michigan Tech), Carnegie Tech, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Culver Academy, St. Thomas and Assumption. Castner, however, was not the only football player to play a key role in the early days of the Notre Dame hockey program. All-American offensive lineman Hunk Anderson was the goaltender on the team. Anderson was followed by one of the most famous of all Irish athletes, Jim Crowley, who gained fame as the halfback in the Four Horsemen backfield. Crowley was a freshman goaltender on the team that went 8-1, but his career was put on ice, so to speak, by legendary football coach Knute Rockne. Crowley recorded a pair of shutouts and turned in a stingy 1.33 goals-against average in his lone season between the Irish pipes. Following Castner behind the Notre Dame bench was former football All-American Tom Leib. A twotime (1921 and 1922) All-American at right tackle, Leib s teams were between The team played one more season in under the guidance of Benjamin Dubois. That team went before the program, due to lack of a playing venue, ceased competition. Despite sporadic attempts to revive the program from 1928 through the early 1960 s - including one game in which Heisman Trophy winner Angelo Bertelli was reported to have scored four goals - Notre Dame hockey would not see consistent action until the season. THE CLUB YEARS This began an era of hockey at Notre Dame that is sometimes forgotten. From 1963, until its return to Division I status for the season, the Irish sponsored a club hockey program that produced several of the players who would play key roles in the early varsity years of the program in the late 60 s. Around 1960, students organized, and the University recognized, the Notre Dame Hockey Club. Operating as a club sport, the team had a faculty advisor and reported to the director of intramurals and club sports, Dominic Napolitano. The club began intercollegiate play in the season. Arrangements were made to play on South Bend s artificial rink (Howard Park) and campus-wide tryouts were held. Ralph Cardillo (Guelph, Ont.) served as the first captain and Paul Belliveau (Fitchburg, Mass.) notched the first goal. Playing club teams from Northwestern, the University of Illinois, the Michigan State junior varsity and other varsity squads from the Midwest, Notre Dame went in that first season. In , the club program improved to under the guidance of coach Richard Bressler. The club also started an intramural program to give other students access to the game of hockey. Prior to the start of the season, the University s administration determined that hockey was to enter a transition period and the program was formally designated as a minor sport. That designation was assigned to help the program in its transition from a club sport to full varsity status. The hockey program came under the direction of Notre Dame vice-president, 122 UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME Rev. Edmund P. Joyce and athletics director, Edward Moose Krause. The team began to receive funding from the athletic department and continued to play teams from the Midwest (Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio State) and even branched out to the East Coast, participating in a Christmas Tournament at the Boston Garden. Under coach Jerry Paquette, the Irish were The program really began to take shape in , playing mostly varsity-level programs as a club team. The Irish played in the first-ever collegiate hockey tournament played at Chicago Stadium hosted by the Blackhawks and the Wirtz family. The Irish lost in the championship game to Ohio State, 6-5. Notre Dame also won the Air Force Invitational at the Broadmoor World Arena on the way to a record. The Irish were led offensively by Phil Wittliff (Port Huron, Mich.), Belliveau, alternate captain Tom Heiden (St. Paul, Minn.), captain Jim Haley (Boston, Mass.), defensemen Eric Norri (Virginia, Minn.) and Frank Manning (Detroit, Mich.). Wittliff (who started his Notre Dame career on the football team), Norri and defenseman Dean Daigler (Tonawanda, N.Y.), would all go on to play on the first varsity team in Leo Collins (Fargo, N.D.), Ernie Gargaro (Bloomfied Hills, Mich.) and John Barry (Chicago, Ill.) were the team s goaltenders. Norri and Collins were both members of Notre Dame s 1966 national championship football team playing tackle and linebacker respectively. In , the club team played its final season before moving to the Division I level. The Notre Dame hockey teams of the 1920s included several well-known members of the school s football team. The team (pictured above) featured goaltender Hunk Anderson (seated, second from left), an All-America offensive lineman in 1921 who served as head coach of the Notre Dame football program from Seated next to Anderson is Paul Castner (second from right), a two-time football All-American as a running back. Castner served as a player/coach for the Notre Dame hockey program from before coaching the team for two more seasons following his graduation. He also was an accomplished baseball player at Notre Dame Hockey.indb /24/11 1:35 PM

125 The early days of the Irish hockey program depended on St. Joseph Lake being frozen. This photo from January of 1941 shows Irish hockey players skating on the snow-covered lake after clearing the ice with shovels. THE RETURN TO VARSITY STATUS The University hired Charles Lefty Smith as the program s first coach for the season and the new Athletic and Convocation Center (later named the Joyce Center) opened, giving Notre Dame its first on-campus, indoor rink. Notre Dame competed as an independent from , compiling a record of , providing Smith three seasons to build a competitive program before the Irish became members of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA), beginning with the season. The Irish struggled to a record in their first season in the WCHA and barely qualified for the playoffs, but the following year they proved they were capable of skating with the best college hockey teams in the nation. A 31-goal, 65-point effort from Eddie Bumbacco (Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.) led the WCHA in scoring and propelled the Irish to a series sweep of top-ranked Wisconsin. The team s conference record was good for a second-place finish in Smith was named WCHA coach of the year, while Bill Nyrop (Edina, Minn.) and Bumbacco became Notre Dame s first hockey All-Americans. The Irish defeated North Dakota 13-3 in a two-game, total-goal WCHA playoff series, but Notre Dame lost to eventual national champion Wisconsin, 8-7, in the second round of the conference playoffs. The Irish remained competitive in the WCHA over the next eight years but could do no better than another second-place finish during Several Notre Dame players gained national notoriety during that time, most notably Jack Brownschidle (East Amherst, N.Y.), who earned All-America honors in 76 and 77 and remains the Notre Dame hockey program s only two-time All-American. Brian Walsh (Cambridge, Mass.) earned All-America status and was named the WCHA MVP and Greg Meredith (Toronto, Ont.) earned All-America honors in Four years later, Notre Dame joined Michigan, Michigan State and Michigan Tech as the newest members of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA). In , Dave Poulin (Mississauga, Ont.) a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award led Notre Dame to a record, a Great Lakes Invitational championship and a fourth-place finish in the regularseason standings. Following a first-round playoff series win over Michigan, the Irish defeated Bowling Green, 8-5, in the semifinals before falling to Michigan State, 4-1, in the title game. The Irish were unable to sustain that level the next season and struggled to a record. Following Notre Dame s loss to Bowling Green in a first-round playoff series, the University announced in the spring of 1983 that it would cease sponsoring varsity hockey. After competing as a club sport during , varsity hockey returned to Notre Dame the following season ( ) when the Irish competed as a non-scholarship independent team.

126 Irish Hockey History Smith remained at the helm through the end of the campaign, compiling a 19-year record of The most impressive statistic from the Smith era is that all 126 players who completed their collegiate eligibility earned their college degrees. In 1987, Smith turned the program over to Ric Schafer (New Brighton, Minn.), a four-time monogram winner for the Irish from and an assistant coach under Smith from Notre Dame hockey continued as an independent during the first four seasons of Schafer s tenure, but with each year, the schedule became increasingly difficult and soon was littered with CCHA opponents. Schafer convinced the Notre Dame administration to allocate scholarships as the program continued to grow and his efforts culminated with Notre Dame s return to the CCHA for the season. Prior to stepping down as head coach following the campaign, Schafer compiled a record over eight seasons and will be remembered as the coach who returned Notre Dame hockey to a competitive Division I level. In 1995, Notre Dame turned to its most distinguished hockey alum to take over behind the bench. Dave Poulin returned to his alma mater following a 13-year career in the National Hockey League. During Poulin s 10-year tenure, Notre Dame made steady improvements and continued to earn national recognition. In , the Irish hosted a first-round CCHA playoff series for the first time since 1982, after spending most of the year ranked in the national top 10. Defenseman Benoit Cotnoir (Rouyn-Noranda, Que.) became the program s seventh All-American. The following season produced another milestone as the Irish beat Ferris State in the first round of the CCHA playoffs and made their second-ever trip to Joe Louis Arena for the CCHA semifinals. In and , the Irish pulled off playoff upsets and advanced to Joe Louis and the CCHA Super Six. In a five-year span, from to , Notre Dame made it to Joe Louis Arena four times (2000, 2002, 2003, 2004). In , the Irish upset higher-seeded Nebraska-Omaha in a series that featured a 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Mavericks, followed by one-goal wins in games two and three. The following year, the Irish traveled to higher-seeded Miami (Ohio) and after dropping the first game, 4-2 saw goaltender Morgan Cey (Wilkie, Sask.) spin back-to-back shutouts (a first in Notre Dame history), winning 1-0 and 5-0 to advance to the Joe again.

Walsh Paul Castner Tom Lieb Benjamin Dubois Charles Lefty Smith Ric Schafer Dave Poulin Jeff Jackson 2005-present The season saw the Irish turn in their first 20-win season ( ) since , while finishing tied for fourth in the league standings with a record. The Irish hosted regional-rival Western Michigan, winning the series, two games to one with the game-three winner coming in sudden death overtime on a goal by then freshman Jason Paige (Saginaw, Mich.). Notre Dame did not have much success at the CCHA Super Six, losing in the opening game each year Phil Wittliff got his Irish hockey career started as a member of the football team. After playing one season with the club team, he was the leading scorer on the first Irish hockey team of the modern era ( ) and then served as captain in and to Northern Michigan (3-1) in and Ohio State (3-2 and 6-5 in overtime) in and respectively. The highly successful season ended with the Irish being selected to participate in their first-ever NCAA tournament on the strength of a record versus teams ranked in the top five during the regular season. Notre Dame faced two-time defending NCAA champion, Minnesota, in the opening game at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Mich. After taking a 2-0 first-period lead, the Irish fell to the Gophers, 5-2, but Notre Dame had finally arrived on the national level. Following a disappointing season (5-27-6), Poulin stepped down as head coach, turning over the reins to Jeff Jackson, who has continued to take the Irish to the national level. In his first season at the helm, Jackson and his staff worked to change the culture of the program and saw solid results as the team improved to overall and earned home ice in the first round of the CCHA tournament with an conference record. Jackson s second year behind the bench saw the 124 UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME Irish turn in the finest season in the program s history. With a veteran squad led by eight seniors, including first-team All-American - the eighth All-American in school history - goaltender David Brown (Stoney Creek, Ont.), Notre Dame compiled a school-record 32 wins on the way to a mark and won their firstever CCHA regular-season title with a league record. Along the way, Jackson s squad achieved the firstever number one ranking in school history and was the top team in the nation for seven consecutive weeks from Feb. 5 to March 23. The Irish swept Alaska (7-1, 3-1) in the second round to move to the CCHA semifinals. In Detroit, Brown blanked Lake Superior, 3-0, in the semis and the Irish knocked off Michigan, 2-1, in the championship game for the school s first CCHA tournament championship. Notre Dame made its second NCAA Tournament appearance at Grand Rapids, Mich., this time as the Midwest Regional s top seed. There, the Irish won their first NCAA tournament game, a 3-2 double-overtime thriller (the longest game in program history - 94:32) versus Alabama-Huntsville. The dream season came to an end the following night in a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to eventual NCAA champion Michigan State. In , Notre Dame took an even bigger step on the national stage, advancing to the NCAA Frozen Four where they fell in the national championship game, 4-1, to Boston College. The Irish finished the year with a overall record and were in the CCHA, good for fourth place. Late season scoring struggles almost cost Notre Dame an NCAA bid, but they made it in as the final at-large team in the tournament. In the West Regional at Colorado Springs, Colo., Bill Nyrop is one of 17 former Notre Dame players who have gone on to careers in the National Hockey League and one of five to play in the Stanley Cup Finals, joining Dave Poulin, Don Jackson, Brett Lebda and Mark Eaton in that distinction Hockey.indb /24/11 1:35 PM

127 the Irish found the goal-scoring touch as they dispatched the region s top-seed, New Hampshire, 7-3, and then bounced Michigan State with a 3-1 win. Notre Dame became the first No. 4 seed to make the Frozen Four and would face the nation s top-ranked team, Michigan, in the semifinals at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colo. Freshman left wing Calle Ridderwall (Stockholm, Sweden) became an overnight sensation when his goal at 5:44 of overtime sent Michigan home with a 5-4 loss and the Irish to the title game versus Boston College. Jackson s fourth season behind the bench in saw the Irish win its second CCHA regular-season and tournament championship as they were went overall and in conference play. Included in the overall mark was a school record 20-game unbeaten streak (17-0-3) that started on Oct. 31 and lasted until Jan. 17. During the season, Notre Dame spent seven weeks ranked No. 1 in the nation. The Irish were led by goaltender Jordan Pearce (Anchorage, Alaska) who led the nation in wins (30) and shutouts (8) with a stingy 1.68 goals-against average. In the CCHA playoffs, Pearce blanked Nebraska-Omaha in back-toback quarterfinal games to advance Notre Dame to its third straight trip to the CCHA championship round at Joe Louis Arena. In Detroit, the Irish won their second CCHA tournament title, stopping Northern Michigan, 2-1, in the semifinals before rallying from a 2-0 deficit versus Michigan in the championship game on the way to a 5-2 win. In the NCAA Tournament, the Irish were the top seed in the Midwest Regional at Grand Rapids, Mich., and were upset in the opening round in a 5-1 loss to Bemidji State. Defenseman Ian Cole (Ann Arbor, Mich.) and forward Erik Condra (Livonia, Mich.) became the ninth and 10th Irish Notre Dame players to be named All-American following the season.

At the Xcel Energy Center, the Bulldogs prevailed with a 4-3 win in the first semifinal game against Notre Dame on the way to an overtime win versus Michigan in the national title game. The program achieved a first in as freshman T.J. Tynan (Orland Park, Ill.) led the nation s freshmen in scoring and, besides being the Irish and CCHA rookie of the year, was named the Hockey Commissioner s Association s (HCA) national rookie of the year. During his first six seasons behind the Notre Dame bench, Jackson saw his teams record a mark for a.624 winning percentage, two CCHA titles, four trips to the NCAA Tournament and two Frozen Four visits. Recognition for Notre Dame hockey though has continued to grow. In the first 43 years of the program, NHL teams have drafted 68 Irish players, including five in the 2007 and 2010 Entry Drafts. In three of the last five seasons, Notre Dame has seen four of its players selected in the first round of the draft. In 2007, defenseman Ian Cole (Ann Arbor, Mich.) became the first Irish player chosen in the opening round as he was selected with the 18th pick overall by the St. Louis Blues. In 2009, forward Kyle Palmieri (Montvale, N.J.) was chosen by Anaheim and in 2010, center Riley Sheahan (St. Catharine s, Ont.) and defenseman Jarred Tinordi (Millersville, Md.) were chosen on consecutive picks, 21st and 22nd overall by the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Canadiens. The season saw eight former Notre Dame players see ice time with NHL teams. Defenseman Mark Eaton (New York Islanders) is the elder statesman of the group and is followed by defenseman Brett Lebda (Toronto). Three others saw more action in 10-11, including Tim Wallace (Pittsburgh), Christian Hanson (Toronto) and Victor Oreskovich (Vancouver), while three others - Erik Condra (Ottawa), Ian Cole (St. Louis) and Kyle Palmieri (Anaheim) - saw their first NHL action. Notre Dame s most familiar NHL alumni include Poulin, whose 13-year career included three trips to the Stanley Cup finals and three all-star appearances. Twenty other Irish players have worn NHL jerseys, with four of them Nyrop (three times with Montreal), defenseman Don Jackson (three times with Edmonton), Lebda (with Detroit in ) and Eaton (Pittsburgh in ) drinking from the Stanley Cup. Notre Dame also has made its mark on the international level. Since the birth of the U.S. National Developmental Program, the Irish have seen 29 of their players come from the program, including seven on the roster alone.

131 2004 NCAA Tournament - First Round Midwest Regional #3 Minnesota 5 #13 Notre Dame 2 March 27, 2004 Grand Rapids, Mich. The Notre Dame hockey team made its first-ever NCAA hockey tournament appearance on March 27, 2004 at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Mich. The opponent was the two-time defending national champion and third-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers. The Irish jumped out to a 2-0 first-period lead on goals by Cory McLean and Aaron Gill only to see the Gophers score five unanswered goals on the way to a 5-2 win over Notre Dame. That win moved the Gophers on to the Midwest Regional versus Minnesota-Duluth. Sophomore All-American Thomas Vanek led Minnesota s comeback with two goals and an assist. Matt Koalska, Danny Irmen (ppg) and Troy Riddle also scored for the Gophers. The Irish got on the scoreboard just 54 seconds into the contest as McLean teamed with Gill on a two-onone to beat Minnesota goaltender Kellen Briggs for his 10th goal of the year. Notre Dame took advantage of a Minnesota penalty late in the first period and made it 2-0 at 19:18 of the third on the power play. Rob Globke and Mike Walsh set up Gill s team-high ninth power-play goal of the year on a redirection past Briggs for Gill s 17th of the year. The Gophers got their offense going in the second period just 26 seconds in when Koalska cut the lead in half to open the middle stanza. The powerful Gopher offense would even the score at 9:13 when Irmen steered a bouncing puck past Morgan Cey for a power-play tally to make it 2-2. Vanek put the Gophers ahead to stay 3-2 at 16:24 when he poked a loose puck past Cey for his first goal of the game. The talented Vanek would seal the win at 11:52 when he raced down the right side and tried to stuff a shot past Cey on the short side. The rebound came right back to him and he continued behind the net for a wrap-around-goal for the 4-2 lead. Riddle closed out the scoring for Minnesota with an empty-net goal at 19:24 to end Notre Dame s season. On the night, Cey equaled a season-high with 40 saves. Briggs made 20 saves in the Minnesota goal. GAME SUMMARY F #13 Notre Dame ( ) #3 Minnesota ( ) Scoring 1st: ND: Cory McLean 10 (Aaron Gill, Mike Walsh), 00:54; ND: A. Gill 17 (M.

For over 94 minutes Notre Dame and Alabama- Huntsville battled tooth and nail, looking for that one scoring chance to end the contest. This time the luck of the Irish was in full force as freshman Ryan Thang drilled a shot from the left wing circle that beat Charger goaltender Marc Narduzzi to give the Irish the 3-2 win in the longest game in Irish hockey history. The win, the first NCAA Tournament victory in Irish hockey history, advanced Notre Dame to the Midwest Regional finals to face Michigan State. Notre Dame got off to a fast start, scoring a pair of goals in the first five minutes of the game. Senior left wing Josh Sciba gave the Irish a 1-0 lead just 3:18 into the game, beating starting goaltender Blake MacNichol with a shot from the left face-off dot. Thang followed with his first goal of the night at 4:26 when he took a feed from Erik Condra and ripped a low shot that beat MacNicol, giving the Irish a 2-0 lead. The goal sent MacNicol to the UAH bench in favor of Marc Narduzzi. It would be well over 90 minutes before the Irish would score again as they led 2-0 after the first period. Alabama got back in the game at 10:20 of the second period as Dominick Rozman s shot deflected off an Irish defenseman past David Brown to cut the Notre Dame lead to 2-1. The Chargers would get the equalizer at 16:06 when Cale Tanaka fired a shot from the slot that beat Brown to the upper corner. From there the goaltenders took over. Brown would finish with 28 saves in the game while Narduzzi made 49 saves, giving up just one goal. The Irish got the game winner via the power play when defenseman Noah Babin was pulled down on a scoring bid. Defensemen Brett Blatchford and Kyle Lawson played catch at the point until Lawson slid a pass to the left wing boards where Thang took the puck. He had stopped so many with his glove up until then that I decided to roll in front and shot it towards his blocker and it went in, said Thang. I couldn t tell it was in until I saw the water bottle pop up in the air. Thang s goal was his 20th of the season and set off a wild celebration on the ice as the Irish had their first NCAA tournament win and lived to play another day. The 94:42 minutes of action was the longest game in Notre Dame hockey history.

The ride came to an end though as CCHA foe, Michigan State, handed the Irish a 2-1 loss in the Midwest Regional Championship. The loss ended Notre Dame s season and sent the Spartans to the NCAA Frozen Four where they would eventually win the national championship. Chris Mueller and Tim Kennedy scored power-play goals for the Spartans while junior Evan Rankin scored Notre Dame s lone goal in the loss. The regional championship got off to a slow start as the two teams tried to get a read on each other. The game would remain scoreless after one period of play. Michigan State finally broke through at 6:04 of the second period as the Spartans took advantage of a Notre Dame penalty. Defenseman Chris Snavely fired a shot from the right point that David Brown stopped. Chris Mueller stuffed the rebound past the Irish netminder for his 14th goal and a 1-0 lead. The lead would go to 2-0 on another power-play chance at 5:59 of the third period. Working the puck behind the net, Tim Kennedy walked in front and tucked the puck between Brown s pads and the post as he was leveled by Kevin Deeth on the penalty kill. The goal was Kennedy s 17th of the year and marked just the third time all season that Notre Dame gave up two power-play goals in a game. Notre Dame finally broke through on Michigan State goaltender Jeff Lerg at 14:52. Jason Paige moved the puck from the left wing boards to defenseman Brett Blatchford. Blatchford fired a shot on goal that went off of Rankin and past Lerg, cutting the lead to 2-1. For Rankin, the goal was his fourth of the season.

For most of the second half of the season, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish struggled to score goals. The struggles came to an end at the World Arena in the first semifinal of the NCAA West Regional. Notre Dame got seven goals from six different players as the Irish advanced to the West Regional final with a 7-3 win over top-seeded New Hampshire.

The Wildcats jumped out to an early lead, scoring at the 1:04 mark of the first when Pollastrone fired a rebound shot past Jordan Pearce for his 14th of the season. The Irish answered back just 58 seconds later on the power play when Cole drilled a wrist shot through Wildcat goaltender Kevin Regan s pads to tie the game at the 2:02 mark. UNH continued to put the pressure on Pearce and made it 2-1 at 5:41 when Pollastrone got his second of the period and the game, firing the rebound of a Brad Flaishans shot past the Irish goaltender to make it 2-1. Despite being out shot in the first period by a 15-6 margin, Notre Dame would tie the score at 2-2 with a power-play goal at 17:25. Thang set up Lawson at the right point and the sophomore defenseman drilled a wrister past Regan for his fifth of the year. The Irish took the lead for good at 2:39 of the second period as Hanson scored his 11th goal of the year when Stewart Carlin s shot rebounded into the slot where Hanson shoveled the puck past Regan to make it 3-2. The lead would go to 4-2 on a tremendous individual effort by Kissel as he stickhandled through three UNH defenders and fired a shot inside the left post at 9:53 for his ninth goal of the season. New Hampshire came right back and cut the lead to 4-3 when Phil DeSimone scored at 13:09. Notre Dame restored the two-goal lead just 23 seconds into the third period after Van Guilder and Thang forced a Wildcat turnover behind the net. Van Guilder slid the puck in front to Thang who drilled one of his patented wrist shots past Regan for his 17th goal of the year and a 5-3 lead. With less than four minutes left in the game and the teams skating 4-on-4, UNH pulled its goaltender for a 5-on-4 advantage. Thang would break up up a Wildcat rush and fired a shot that went wide of the goal but off the back boards, bouncing to Deeth who shot it into the open net to make it 6-3 with 3:06 left in the game. Regan would again be pulled with under three minutes left in the game and Hanson closed the scoring at 17:54 when he scored his second of the night and 12th of the season for the final of 7-3.

The Notre Dame hockey team earned its first-ever trip to the Frozen Four with a 3-1 win over Michigan State in the championship game of the NCAA West Regional at the Colorado Springs World Arena. The Fighting Irish became the first team seeded fourth in a regional to advance to the Frozen Four and avenged their 2-1 loss to the Spartans in the Midwest Regional final. Christian Hanson, Mark Van Guilder and Teddy Ruth scored for Notre Dame in the victory with Van Guilder getting the game winner with 5:54 remaining in the third period. Michigan State dominated play early in the game but could not get the puck past goaltender Jordan Pearce who stopped all 10 first-period shots. Hanson broke through on the scoreboard for the Irish at 2:43 of the second stanza when he stuffed a rebound of his own wrap-around attempt past Spartan goaltender Jeff Lerg. That gave Hanson three goals and an assist in the two games and earned him a spot on the all-regional team. Michigan State s Justin Abdelkader banged a laser off the crossbar three minutes later, then tied the game with 10:55 to play in the period when he put a onetimer from the left circle behind Pearce for his third point of the weekend to make it UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME The game would remain that way until Van Guilder snapped the tie with just under six minutes left in the game. He took a pass from Ben Ryan off his leg, regained control in the slot and beat Lerg inside the near post with wrist shot from the slot. The Irish added an insurance goal just 1:14 later when Teddy Ruth put a slapshot from just outside the right circle past Lerg high on the glove side. Justin White and Christian Hanson cycled the puck out of the right corner, leaving Ruth alone at the point. While eight different players scored for the Irish, the Notre Dame defense played a huge role in both victories. The Irish blocked 12 shots in the victory over MSU and killed all four Spartan power plays and all nine in the two regional games. Pearce allowed just one goal on 21 Michigan State shots and had 32 saves in the victory over New Hampshire, posting back-to-back victories over Hobey Baker semifinalists Lerg and Kevin Regan. Van Guilder, Hanson and defenseman Brock Sheahan were selected to the NCAA West Regional All-Tournament team with Van Guilder being named Most Outstanding Player.

Attendance: 5, NCAA Tournament - Semifinals Frozen Four #5 Notre Dame 5 #41 Michigan 4 (ot) April 10, 2008 Denver, Colo. Freshman left wing Calle Ridderwall scored his second goal of the game at 5:44 of overtime, lifting fifth-ranked Notre Dame to a 5-4 victory over topseeded Michigan in the NCAA Frozen Four semifinals at a sold-out (18,544) Pepsi Center in Denver. The win moved the Irish into their first national championship game versus Boston College on April 12. Ridderwall came into the game with three goals in his rookie season, but saved some of his best play of the year for college hockey s biggest stage as he also scored the opening goal in the first period. He was joined on the Irish side of the scoresheet by Mark Van Guilder, Ryan Thang and Kevin Deeth. Chad Kolarik scored twice for Michigan with Matt Rust and Carl Hagelin getting single goals in the loss. Ridderwall opened the scoring just five minutes into the game when he took an outlet pass from Justin White in center ice, moved into the Michigan zone and rifled a shot over Michigan goaltender Billy Sauer s right shoulder for his fourth goal of the year. Just 42 seconds later, the Irish had a 2-0 lead when Thang dropped a pass for Van Guilder who ripped a shot from the left circle under Sauer s left arm for his 13th of the season at 5:42. Thang took his turn at 19:25 of the first period when he scored a brilliant short-handed goal, beating the Wolverine defense at the blueline, then flipping a backhander over Sauer s blocker for his 18th goal of the year and a 3-0 Irish lead Hockey.indb /24/11 1:35 PM

133 Sauer was replaced by Bryan Hogan in the Michigan goal to start the second period and he held the Irish at bay until the Wolverines could get back in the game. They would score twice in a 15-second span midway through the middle period to get back in the game. Kolarik scored his first of the night at 8:48 when he took a centering pass from Kevin Porter in the high slot and wristed a shot over the left shoulder of Notre Dame goaltender Jordan Pearce. Seconds later, Michigan s Aaron Palushaj skated into the left corner and tossed a pass toward the crease, where Matt Rust redirected the puck behind Pearce at 9:03 to make it a 3-2 game after two periods. The Wolverines would get the equalizer on the power play at 2:16 of the third period. Kolarik would get his second goal of the game when he fired a shot off the right post that caromed back to him. He wasted no time, depositing it past Pearce for his 30th goal of the year. The Irish grabbed the lead back with 8:30 remaining in the game as Dan Kissel and Deeth combined on a two-on-one. Kissel put a pass on Deeth s stick and the sophomore center cut in front of the goal, chipping a shot over Hogan for his 10th goal of the season to give Notre Dame the 4-3 lead. Michigan answered back, tying the game at 4-4 at 14:39 when Hagelin won the race to a loose puck in the Irish zone and fired a shot from the goal line that somehow found its way between Pearce s pad and the near post to send the game into overtime. That set up Ridderwall s overtime heroics. White dropped a pass to the right point to defenseman Dan VeNard. The senior blueliner drilled a low shot on goal that Hogan stopped with the rebound sliding to the slot. Ridderwall was there and put his head down driving the puck past Hogan to set off a wild celebration on the Pepsi Center ice with a 5-4 Notre Dame win. The win was the first in overtime for the Irish during the season and their first since defeating Alabama-Huntsville in the NCAA Tournament. Pearce made 29 saves in the victory while Hogan stopped 18 of 20 shots in 45:44 minutes. Sauer finished with six saves in the first 20 minutes of action.

On Saturday, April 12, the Notre Dame hockey team ventured where no other Irish hockey team had ever been. They faced off in the NCAA Frozen Four championship game against Boston College at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colo. The Irish ran into a red-hot Nathan Gerbe as the third-ranked Eagles ended Notre Dame s season with a 4-1 loss in front of a sell-out crowd of 18,632. Gerbe scored twice and assisted on BC s other two goals on his way to a four-point game and Most Valuable Player honors. Kevin Deeth scored the lone goal for the Irish who finished the year with a record. Both teams had chances in a tightly-played first period that led to the fourth scoreless opening frame in NCAA title game history (also 1968, 2001 and 2007). BC ended up with a 7-4 shot advantage in the opening 20 minutes, while Notre Dame went on the power play three times in the period, coming up empty on all three. The Eagles snapped the scoreless tie just 2:23 into the second period, converting an Irish turnover into a goal. Brian Gibbons forced the turnover and found Gerbe inside the left circle where he whipped a shot over Jordan Pearce s left shoulder for his 34th goal of the year. Gerbe was at it less than three minutes later, this time on a Boston College power play. Ben Smith s shot from the slot was wide of the goal but rebounded off the back dasherboards into the crease where the Eagles top scorer was there to jam the rebound past Pearce for a 2-0 lead at 5:37. BC made it 3-0 at 8:11 of the second period, converting a second power-play chance, this time with a 4-on-3 advantage. Joe Whitney did the honors as he took a feed from Gerbe at the top of the slot and drove a slapshot past Pearce for his 11th goal of the year. The Irish finally broke through just over a minute later at 9:07 when Deeth took a feed from defenseman Kyle Lawson and snapped a shot past Eagles goaltender John Muse to cut the lead to 3-1 after two periods of play. Notre Dame looked like they had cut the margin to 3-2 just 4:56 into the third period. Ian Cole s centering pass got caught up in Lawson s near the right post and deflected toward the goal, trickling past Muse and over the goal line. Although it was ruled a goal on the ice by referee Todd Anderson, video replay official, Greg Shepherd, overturned the score after a lengthy delay, ruling that the puck was apparently propelled into the net by Lawson s skate in a distinct kicking motion. The no-goal call took on added significance less than a minute later when Boston College scored to make it a 4-1 game. Gerbe tracked down the puck behind the net and threw a centering pass back in front for Smith, who fanned on his shot attempt but got enough of the bouncing biscuit for it to knuckle over Pearce s shoulder at 5:31 of the period for the final score of 4-1. Pearce finished with 19 saves in goal while Muse stopped 20 in the game. The Irish were 0-for-8 on the power play while Boston College was able to convert on two of four tries. Pearce finished the year with 23 wins and the team s 27 wins were the second most in the program s history. Lawson and Deeth were selected to the Frozen Four all-tournament team.

134 NCAA Tournament History 2009 NCAA Tournament - First Round Midwest Regional Bemidji State 5 #2 Notre Dame 1 March 28, 2009 Grand Rapids, Mich. The Fighting Irish made their third consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament, this time as the No. 1 seed at the Midwest Regional, facing Bemidji State. The Beavers advanced to the tournament as the champions of College Hockey America (CHA). For Notre Dame, everything that could go wrong did at Van Andel Arena as the Irish were upset by the Beavers in a 5-1 loss. Ranked second in the nation coming into the regional, the loss ended Notre Dame s season with a record. Bemidji went on to win the regional and advance to its first ever Frozen Four. The first Bemidji goal would set the tone for the entire game. The Beavers dumped the puck behind the Irish net, where senior goaltender Jordan Pearce came out to play it. The puck took a funny bounce off the back dasher, then caromed off the side of the goal and back into the crease at the right post. As Pearce scrambled to get back in his net, BSU s Chris McKelvie came charging in from the right wing and chopped at the puck, muscling it over the line just 1:42 into the contest. The Beavers would make it 2-0 at 11:03 of the first when Tyler Schofield scored on a power-play deflection of a Brad Hunt shot that found its way between Pearce s pads. Notre Dame had its chances in the first period, outshooting Bemidji by an 11-7 margin. The lead would go to 3-0 in the second period when Ben Kinne s shot from the point caromed through a crowd behind Pearce at 13:19. The Irish would start the third period on the power play and would look to get their offense in gear over the final 20 minutes. Those hopes would die just 49 seconds into the third period when Schofield broke up an Irish rush and Matt Read blasted a slapshot from the top of the right circle over Pearce s blocker to give the Beavers a 4-0 lead. Notre Dame would finally get on the board at 6:02 when Dan Kissel buried a shot past Bemidji goaltender Matt Dalton from the left circle for his sixth goal of the year to cut the lead to 4-1. The Irish would pull Pearce with just under four minutes left in favor of a sixth attacker only to see the Beavers win a big face off before Schofield fired a loose puck into an empty net for the final margin of 5-1. Pearce would finish the game with 14 saves while Dalton made 34 stops in the Bemidji net.

After missing the NCAA Tournament in 2010, Notre Dame returned to postseason action in 2011 at the Northeast Regional in Manchester, N.H., as the third seed at the Verizon Wireless Arena. The Irish opened the tournament against Hockey East foe, Merrimack and the Warriors saw Notre Dame rally from a pair of two-goal deficits to win in overtime, 4-3, to advance to the regional final. Freshman left wing Anders Lee led the way for the Irish, recording two goals, including the overtime game winner 5:18 into the extra stanza for the win. Junior Billy Maday and senior Calle Ridderwall added single goals in the victory. Merrimack got goals from Kyle Bigos, Ryan Flanigan and Rhett Bly, as the Warriors led 2-0 in the first period and 3-1 midway through the second. Notre Dame out shot the Warriors, 37-35, in the game. Irish goaltender Mike Johnson made 32 saves while Merrimack s Joe Cannata had 33. The victory improves the ninth-ranked Irish to on the season while seventh-ranked Merrimack closes its season with a mark. The Warriors jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period scoring once on the power play and once shorthanded. Bigos opened the scoring at 13:23 when he managed to jam a loose puck in the crease past Johnson for his second goal of the season. With Notre Dame on the power play, Merrimack got its second goal of the night as Flanigan teamed with Stephane DeCosta on a 2-on-1 short-handed goal at 16:00 for the 2-0 lead. The Irish answered 27 seconds later on the power play as Ridderwall ripped a shot from between the hashmarks, beating Cannata to his stick side. The goal was the 15th of the season for the senior left wing. Merrimack built the lead to 3-1 at 2:58 of the middle stanza as Bly backhanded a Shawn Bates centering pass over Johnson for his fourth goal of the season. Notre Dame cut the lead to 3-2 at 13:29 when Lee fired a wrist shot over Cannata s glove hand and into the upper right corner. Right wing Bryan Rust cleared the puck out of the Irish zone from the right boards to Lee on the left side in the neutral zone. The freshman left wing raced down the left side and fired from the top of the left circle, scoring his team-high 23rd goal of the season. The Irish poured it on in the third period out shooting the Warriors by a 17-4 margin and scored the only goal of the period as Maday got the equalizer at 5:32. This time Lee carried the puck into the Merrimack zone and fired a shot from the left circle that Cannata kicked out. Maday drove to the goal and was able to get a stick on it and push it through the goaltender s pads for his ninth goal of the season and a 3-3 tie. While the Irish ended regulation with the momentum, Merrimack came out flying in the extra stanza putting the pressure on the Notre Dame goal with six shots in the first five minutes. Lee would get the game winner at 5:18 on pure hustle and a little bit of luck. Off a face off, the Irish threw the puck into the Merrimack zone where a Warrior defender picked it up on the left side of the goal and moved out the right with Lee in pursuit. As the defenseman cut inside at the right post, Lee took a swing at the puck and deflected it past Cannata to give Notre Dame its first and only lead of the night and the win, 4-3.
