First Year of Studies The First Year of Studies program provides all first-year students with the opportunity to gain a wide-ranging liberal arts background before choosing a specific major within Notre Dame’s five undergraduate colleges. A progressive advising program for all student-athletes enables the University to follow the academic progress of all student-athletes on a regular basis. Key to the program is the fact that it is not run by the athletics department but by the University administration.

Student-Athlete Success Notre Dame expects the best out of its student-athletes just as it does of every other student on campus. Notre Dame has had unprecedented academic success among its athletes, consistently ranking among the top NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision schools in graduation rates and academic progress. With more Academic All-Americans than any other school since 2000, Irish athletes have shown themselves capable of performing in the classroom while competing on the field at an elite level.

With training facilities in the Joyce Center, Notre Dame Stadium and the Guglielmino Athletics Complex, the training staff is always there to care for athletes.

THIS IS NOTRE DAME

The University of Notre Dame When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern Indiana wilderness, he had only $300, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great university, and in 1842, he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac. Over the years, the University of Notre Dame du Lac would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame has also been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of synthetic rubber. The University also has stressed residential life, with four of five students living on campus. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Father Sorin.

Jack Swarbrick Director of Athletics

John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate who rose to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant and executive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries, is in his third year in 2010-11 as director of athletics at his alma mater.

Among Swarbrick’s athletics initiatives are meeting the performance needs of Notre Dame student-athletes through establishment of a new sports performance division, reaching out to more former Irish student-athletes via the Notre Dame Monogram Club and other programs, utilizing emerging digital technologies to deliver better information on and access to Notre Dame athletic programs via expanded production and distribution of programming, and restructuring Notre Dame’s approach to sport administration through assignment of a unique administrator to each of the 26 Irish sports.

The past two years combined in Notre Dame athletics have featured 68 All-Americans, 14 Academic All-America selections and four NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship winners; record involvement in community service hours by Irish studentathletes; NCAA runner-up team finishes in 2010 men’s lacrosse,

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME • UND.COM

2009 fencing and 2008 women’s soccer; NCAA semifinal appearances in 2009 and 2010 women’s tennis and 2009 women’s soccer, plus a 2010 third-place fencing finish; the hiring of new Irish head football coach Brian Kelly to start the 2010 season; the decision to build a new, freestanding ice hockey arena, scheduled to open for the 2011-12 season, plus the 2009-10 dedications of new facilities for soccer and lacrosse – as well as opening of the new Purcell Pavilion within the south dome of the Joyce Center, and 15 BIG EAST Conference titles along with four other league crowns in hockey, men’s lacrosse and fencing.

Notre Dame ranked number one in the country (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the two most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) surveys -- in 2009 with a 99 (including a 97 score in football that also ranked number one).

Born in Yonkers, N.Y., and raised in Yonkers and Bloomington, Ind., Swarbrick is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a position as an associate in the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels.

He made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years overall with the firm.

As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick led most of the city’s successful proposals to a wide array of athletics organizations – from the National Football League to the United States Olympic Committee to the Big Ten Conference. His leadership efforts resulted in the city earning the right to play host to the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium; becoming the home of the National Collegiate Athletic Association national headquarters in 1999; hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, 1991 World Gymnastics Championships, NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours and other college championship competitions and an array of national and world championships in Olympic sports.

Swarbrick’s practice at Baker & Daniels focused on the representation of owners of sports teams and organizations that sanction or conduct athletic competitions. He served as general counsel for numerous national governing bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics and USRowing, and as a consultant to the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.

In his work as an advisor to the NCAA, Swarbrick coordinated the men’s College Basketball Partnership, an NCAA-led group that addresses the opportunities and challenges in the sport, and developed the business plan for the new NBA/NCAA youth basketball enterprise, iHoops. In 2000 Swarbrick received one of the NCAA’s highest honors, The Flying Wedge Award, for his work in establishing Indianapolis as the new home of the NCAA. In 2001 the State of Indiana presented him with the Sagamore of the Wabash Award.

Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick was named Notre Dame’s 12th athletics director on July 16, 2008. He and his wife, Kimberly, are the parents of four children: Kate, a 2010 graduate of St. Louis University; Connor, a senior at Wake Forest University; Cal, a freshman at TCU; and Christopher, a high school senior.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

Homes of the Fighting Irish In the midst of a master plan that will touch nearly every varsity team, Notre Dame has shown its commitment to providing athletes with the best possible facilities to help them compete on a national level. From new facilities to the extensive renovation of existing ones, Notre Dame is committed to giving Irish athletes every edge imaginable. The plan will result in a drastically altered footprint on the southeast corner of campus, creating an athletics quad that will give every Irish athlete a place they will be proud to call home.

New facilities which have opened their doors in the past five years, including the Guglielmino Athletics Complex (housing football offices and locker room, a new weight room and new sports medicine facilities), the LaBar Practice Complex (featuring two Field Turf fields and one natural grass field) and Melissa Cook Stadium (home of the Irish softball team). Three facilities opened during the 2009-10 school year: Alumni Stadium (home to men’s and women’s soccer), Purcell Pavilion (renovation and expansion of men’s and women’s basketball arena) and Arlotta Family Stadium (home of men’s and women’s lacrosse).

Media Information Irish Hockey on Cat Country 99.9 FM Notre Dame and the WSBT Radio Group have teamed up with Cat Country 99.9 FM Radio to begin the third season as the radio home of Notre Dame Fighting Irish hockey.

Fans also can follow Irish hockey vial live internet broadcasts on the Notre Dame Athletic Department’s official website (www.und.com).

Back for his second full season behind the microphone will be award-winning, play-by-play broadDarin Pritchett caster Darin Pritchett, the sports director at WSBT. Now in his 11th year with the station, Pritchett took over the role as the voice of Irish hockey in late February, 2009 on a moment's notice due to the untimely death of Mike Lockert, who had handled the play-by-play duties for seven seasons. Pritchett remained with the Irish through the NCAA Tournament and took over the duties on a fulltime basis in 2009-10.

A native of Petersburg, Illinois, Pritchett will continue to be heard each weekday on "JT in the Morning" and "Weekday Sportsbeat." He also will continue to host the popular "Gameday Sportsbeat" pre-game Notre Dame football show on WSBT Radio, and, as time allows, broadcast high school sports.

Pritchett and long-time broadcast partner, Rick Carter, were honored in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2009 by the Associated Press with a first-place finish for outstanding play-by-play broadcasting in the major market division.

In 2005, the Indiana Broadcasters Association (IBA) gave the WSBT team a Spectrum Award for a first-place finish in sports play-by-play broadcasting.

In 2006, the WSBT sports team received first place by the IBA for sports coverage.

Pritchett is a 1994 graduate of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville where he received his degree in radio and television broadcasting. At SIUE, he served as the voice of the men and women's basketball programs on radio and television.

Prior to joining WSBT in 1999, Pritchett also worked as a sports producer for KMOX radio in St. Louis, Mo., where he worked as a producer for Cardinals' baseball, Blues' hockey, Rams' football and sports talk shows.

CCHA Preseason Picks The Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) opened the 2010-11 college hockey season with its annual Media Day on Wednesday, September 29. The conference announced its annual coaches and media preseason polls along with a preseason all-CCHA team. The results of both polls:

For interviews and information, contact the Sports Information Office at (574) 631-7516. Requests to interview student-athletes should be made at least 24 hours in advance.

Credentials for home games can be obtained by contacting the Sports Information Office 24 hours prior to game time.

Radio stations wishing to broadcast from the Joyce Center must inform the SID office two weeks in advance. As per CCHA guidelines, one courtesy radio line is provided for visiting CCHA opponent radio stations.

The CCHA Celebrates 40th Anniversary In 2010-11 Conference unveils a distinctive 40th anniversary logo

The 2010-11 hockey season marks the 40th anniversary of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association, a conference that got its start in 1971. The CCHA will celebrate the past four decades of hockey this season honoring the teams, players and events that have occurred in the last 40 years.

"The CCHA has developed a great tradition and proud history with eight national champions and six Hobey Baker Memorial Award winners since the conference’s inception in 1971," said Commissioner Tom Anastos.

"Our 40th anniversary season will be a time to recognize the accomplishments of those who have set the standard of excellence in the conference over the past four decades and to look ahead to celebrating many more championship teams and outstanding individual performances in the years to come."

The special logo incorporates the league’s traditional primary blue coloring along with a celebratory ribbon of ruby red, the color associated with the milestone of a 40th anniversary.

In this rules cycle, the “Points of Emphasis,” section calls attention to one area of the game that the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey Rules Committee believes must be improved, not through additional rules by by stronger emphasis on existing rules.

The rules committee requests that players, officials and coaches concentrate on the following area: Contact to the Head - This is an important safety issue and the committee is concerned about some violent contact that has occurred in the game and caused injury. To make this rule clearer, any time a player targets the head or neck area of an opponent, it must be a major penalty and a game misconduct penalty at a minimum. This rule is not intended to cover incidental contact or contact with the head that occurs that should be a minor penalty (e.g., unintentional high stick, body check where the contact is initiated at the shoulder or torso, but the follow through makes some contact with the head). Clear direction is being provided here to assist officials, coaches and players with this rule.

The committee expects a heightened awareness to direct contact to head, but it should be noted that many contact to the head fouls in previous seasons that were minor penalties should remain minor penalties (e.g., an incidental high sticking foul would remain a minor for high sticking).

The committee reminds coaches and players that the responsibility remains with the player making the hit to avoid contact with the head and neck area of an opposing player. Any contact which directly targets the player’s head and neck area must be penalized with a major penalty and a game misconduct or disqualification. A player delivering a check to an unsuspecting and vulnerable player puts themselves in jeopardy of being penalized under this rule.

Officials are to pay particular attention to these examples when applying this rule.

These are intended as guidance and include, but are not limited to, the following:

• A player that has just released a shot or pass; • A player that delivers a late hit; • A player that extends and directs the arm, elbow, forearm or shoulder to contact the head and neck area of the opponent; • A player that extends the body and targets the opponent’s head or neck area.

• A player that leaves the skates or launches in order to deliver a blow to the head or neck area of the opposing player.

• A player that uses the stick in any way to target the head or neck area (e.g., cross checking, butt-ending, etc.).

As additional guidance, when the initial force of the contact is a shoulder to the body of the opponent and slides up to the head or neck area, this is not classified as contact to the head. This type of action may still be penalized, at the referee’s discretion, as another penalty (e.g., charging, roughing, elbowing, etc.).

Future Considerations – The committee would like the hockey community to consider the following proposals and their possible effect on the game. The committee will consider these topics starting with the 2012-13 season.

Reducing number of players in overtime – The issue of the way overtime games are decided, particularly during the regular season, is an issue the committee continues to believe warrants discussion and deliberation. Several other leagues remove one skater from each side during overtime periods in an effort to encourage more scoring chances and decide more games. The committee was not ready to move in that direction in this cycle, but continues to believe there is merit with this concept and will continue to keep this issue on its agenda.

Half shields — men’s hockey – The committee’s men’s members plan to collect data and work with appropriate medical agencies and committees during the next two years to consider allowing half shields as a legal piece of equipment. The improved technology of the equipment seems to have merit and the coaching community is supportive of this direction.

Irish Hockey Notebook Notre Dame Hockey by the Numbers 6,901

Career minutes played by goaltender Lance Madson (198690).

3,007 The size of the crowd on three occasions since Jan. 30, 2009 at the Joyce Center for Irish hockey. On that date, the Irish faced Michigan and the standing-room only crowd was the largest to see Notre Dame play since March 10, 1995 when 3,310 saw the Irish defeat Illinois-Chicago. Following that season, new seating was installed reducing the capacity of the Joyce Center. Last season, that number was reached twice, on Jan. 15, 2010 versus Michigan State and again on Jan. 29 against Nebraska-Omaha.

2,857 A sellout crowd (including standing room) at the Joyce Center.

A regular sellout is 2,713. During the 2009-10 season, the Irish played to sellout crowds in 14 of the team’s 18 home games and averaged 2,765 per game. Since the 1995-96 season, the Irish have played in front of 108 sellout crowds, including 24 of the new mark of 2,857 that started during the 2007-08 season.

2,557:46 The Notre Dame single-season record for minutes played by an Irish goaltender, set by Jordan Pearce during the 200708 season.

2010-11 The final full season of hockey at the Joyce Center.

David Brown’s consecutive shutout minutes streak set from Oct. 17 through Nov. 8, 2003. Brown recorded the streak over a five-game span that included three consecutive shutouts (vs. Bowling Green, Boston College and Nebraska-Omaha).

The three consecutive shutouts and the consecutive minutes are both Notre Dame records.

164 Notre Dame’s all-time record for games played in a career.

That mark was set by Kevin Deeth who played from 200610. During his career, Deeth missed three games, two in ‘07’08 and one in ‘09-’10.

163 The number of consecutive games played by Notre Dame’s all-time “Iron Man” Mark Van Guilder. Van Guilder graduated following the 2007-08 season and did not miss a game his entire career.

ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN HONORS – For the first time in the program’s history, two members of the Notre Dame hockey team were selected as ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-Americans on the at-Large team following the 2008-09 season. Senior goaltender Jordan Pearce (Anchorage, Alaska) was selected first team after recording a 3.816 grade-point average in his double major of anthropology/pre-med. For Pearce, it marked the second consecutive year that he was named Academic All-American after taking second team honors in ‘07-’08. He was joined by fellow senior Erik Condra (Livonia, Mich.) who was a second team selection after turning in a 3.55 grade point with a double major in psychology and pre-med. Pearce became the second Irish player to be named twice as he joined Steve Noble ‘98 who was selected in 1997 (first team) and 1998 (second team).

The Irish have had six players all-time named Academic All-American as Condra and Pearce are joined by Dan Carlson ‘01 (third team), Andy Jurkowski ‘00 (third team), Forrest Karr ‘99 (second team) and Noble in ‘97 and ‘98.

FAMILY GUYS – Three members of the Notre Dame hockey team – sophomore forwards Kevin Nugent (New Canaan, Conn.) and Riley Sheahan (St. Catharine’s, Ont.) and freshman goaltender Joe Rogers (Marysville, Mich. – have family ties to the Irish athletics program.

Nugent’s father, Kevin Nugent, Sr. ‘78 was a member of the Notre Dame hockey team from 1974-78. During his career he played in 131 games, scoring 54 goals with 75 assists for 129 career points. His son becomes the second Irish player to follow his father to Notre Dame. He joins Rory Walsh ‘06 who followed his father, Brian Walsh ‘77 who was a teammate of Nugent, Sr. Sheahan is a second cousin of former Irish defenseman Brock Sheahan ‘08 who played for the Irish from 2004-08.

Rogers is a cousin of former Notre Dame defenseman Tony Bonadio ‘83 is a Port Huron, Mich., native.

Bonadio played in 79 games between 1980-83, scoring one goal with nine assists for 10 points.

FULL HOUSE – Notre Dame hockey games were a tough ticket during the 2009-10 season as the Irish had 14 sellouts in 18 home dates and averaged 2,765 fans per game. Since Dec. 13, 2008, the Irish have recorded sellouts in 23 of their last 27 home games. A sellout at the Joyce Center is 2,713 with 2,857 capacity with standing room. Twice during the season, Jan. 15 vs.

Michigan State and Jan. 29 against Nebraska-Omaha, 3,007 fans jammed into the Joyce Center. Prior to that number, the largest crowd to see an Irish hockey game was 3,310 on March of 1995 when Notre Dame play Illinois-Chicago. The following season, new seating was installed and capacity was reconfigured.

CAPTAINS – Four members of the Irish senior class will serve as captains for the 2010-11 season. Defenseman Joe Lavin (Shrewsbury, Mass.) will wear the “C” for Jeff Jackson’s squad this year.

The Compton Family Center Construction Underway On Notre Dame’s Compton Family Center Irish icers to begin play in new on-campus arena in 2011-12.

Construction on Notre Dame’s new, on-campus ice facility - The Compton Family Center - began in March of 2010 and is on pace to be finished for the Notre Dame hockey team to begin play there during the 2011-12 campaign.

On Sept. 11, 2010, a project blessing ceremony for the $50-million facility was hels with many of the key benefactors in attendance.

At the ceremony, Notre Dame director of athletics, Jack Swarbrick, announced that the building would be named the Compton Family Center 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 Center.

"When I first came here, we were talking about a renovation in the Joyce Center," said Jackson, now in his sixth 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.”

Jackson also thanked the benefactors in attendance for their generosity towards the project.

Notre Dame’s head coach was followed by Irish junior Billy Maday who spoke for his teammates to the benefactors in attendance.

"You have provided us with a top-of-the-line

An artist’s conception of the new hockey home of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish - The Compton Family Center. 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 Center 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.

facility that will develop great hockey players and great people," Maday said.

"We understand how much effort was devoted to this project and we will not take it for granted. We have no choice but to work as hard as we can on and off the ice."

Swarbrick spoke last at the ceremony, and touched upon how important the Compton Family Center 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.

Notre Dame president, Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., blesses the site of the new Compton Family Center on Sept. 11, 2010. The new on-campus ice facility is set to open in Oct. of 2011.

"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 original announcement for the new building was made on Feb. 12, 2009 by Notre Dame executive vice-president John AffleckGraves and Swarbrick after the University’s Board of Trustees approved the plan.

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 Compton Family Center 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, multiple concession areas on both levels, spacious restrooms and a merchandise shop.

The Compton Family Center also will serve the Notre Dame and South Bend community as a place for the Irish Youth Hockey League (IYHL) and local figure 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 actual construction of the site can be followed on Notre Dame’s website - und.com with the following link – http://hockeycam.campus. nd.edu/view/viewer _index.shtml?id=155.

The original plan to renovate the Joyce Center Ice Rink changed in May 2008 to a plan that would build 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.

Once the new facility is completed, the current ice rink at the Joyce Center will not be utilized, maintaining the availability of the north dome space for a variety of events.

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.

The Compton Family Center will house the Charles “Lefty” Smith Rink, the new home of Irish hockey. The facility has a 5,000-person capacity and will include offices for the Notre Dame coaching staff, a state-of-the-art locker room suite with both wet and dry locker rooms, meeting rooms, a sports medicine area, cardio and weight rooms, a players lounge, equipment areas, video operations center and a multi-purpose room.

Many of the major benefactors for the new Compton Family Center had a chance to sign a beam that became part of the new building’s steel structure.

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. Charles “Lefty” Smith addresses the crowd Their late son, Frankie, played both lacrosse and hockey for the following the announcement that Notre Irish from 1984-88.

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 The Smith and Boler Families at the 2008 hockey awards banquet (from Hockey Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1992.

Gone are 13 players from last season’s 13-17-8 squad goals-against average and a .910 that finished in ninth place in the CCHA race with a 9-12- save percentage while adding a pair 7-2 league mark. The Irish postseason was short-lived as of shutouts.

While the Irish will be very young on defense, the and Shayne Taker (Surrey, B.C.) bring size and speed to offense has a solid core of veterans that have played well the defense.

Beers was a late addition to the freshman class as he throughout their Notre Dame careers.

The Irish return three of their top five scorers in joined the Irish after Ruth decided to go pro. A late bloomer, he is a local product who has traveled all over to seniors Calle Ridderwall (Stockholm, Sweden) and improve his game to the level he needed to play at Notre Ben Ryan (Brighton, Mich) along with junior Billy Maday (Burr Ridge, Ill.). Add to that sophomores Riley Dame.

Those five are joined by senior Ryan Guentzel quicker forwards in college hockey.

Last season, while playing for the Cedar Rapids Rough (Woodbury, Minn.), juniors Patrick Gaul (Pittsburgh, Riders in the USHL, Beers played in 46 games with four Pa.) and Rich Ryan (Toronto, Ont.) and sophomore Kevin Nugent (New Canaan, Conn.) to round out the goals and 11 assists for 15 points.

Junior defenseman Sean Lorenz will be counted on to move into a top-four role on the Irish blue line this season. returnees. They will be joined by six freshmen newcomers on the front line.

Ridderwall is the team’s top returning scorer after getting 19 goals with eight assists for 27 points. The team most valuable player and offensive player of the year, Ridderwall led the CCHA with 11 power-play goals on the season. Over the last two years, the high-scoring Swede has scored 36 goals with 22 of them coming via the power play.

Ryan is a strong, two-way center who will look to bounce back from a season-ending shoulder injury in ‘09-’10. He tied for fifth on the team in scoring in just 29 games, scoring seven goals with 12 assists for 19 points.

He’s one of Notre Dame’s top face-off men and has proven to be a clutch scorer during his career with seven game-winning goals in his first three seasons.

Guentzel rounds out the senior contingent of forwards. The hard-working role player has great instincts and will look to contribute more this season. A year ago, he played in 36 games and had six assists for six points.

He has played in all situations during his career, including power-play and penalty-killing time. A vocal team leader, the right wing will look to contribute to the offense this year.

Three juniors return to the lineup with that group led on the right side by Maday. The talented forward will look to bounce back from an off year in ‘09-’10 that saw him miss eight games due to a shoulder injury suffered in January.

Despite the injury, Maday still managed to finish fourth in scoring with seven goals and 14 assists for 21 points with a pair of power-play goals and one game winner. Jackson will be counting on big things from Maday as he is a proven scorer who can also set up his linemates.

Gaul also will look to add to his game this season. One of the team’s key centermen on faceoffs, he has been a strong defensive forward in his first two seasons. As a sophomore he played in 31 games and scored one goal with no assists. A character player, he is best when he plays with an “edge” to his game, especially on the forecheck where his speed and quickness can disrupt teams looking to go on the attack.

Rich Ryan had a breakout season in ‘09-’10 and even though he scored just one goal, his confidence grew with each game in the second half. Selected as the

team’s most improved player, Ryan has speed and good offensive skills. He will look to pick up where he left off last season.

A trio of sophomores will also look to make a mark on the Notre Dame offense this season.

The leader of the group is Sheahan. A talented center, he was the youngest player in the nation last season as he played until Dec. 7 as a 17-year old. A smart, skilled, two-way player, he tied for the rookie lead in scoring with six goals and 11 assists for 17 points. He has improved his game on face offs and will look to become more of an offensive force for the Irish this season.

Larson is a prototypical power forward and showed flashes of what he can do as a freshman in ‘09-’10 when he had six goals and five assists for 11 points. He uses his size (6-2, 197) to make life miserable in front of the net and in the corners for opposing defensemen. He will look to step up his game this season and become a more consistent threat in the offensive zone.

Nugent is the third member of the sophomore class of forwards and played in 17 games last season with one assist. He will look to use his size (6-3, 197) and skating ability to become more of a threat on offense.

That brings us to the six freshmen who are expected to add a high level of skill, size and a physical presence to Junior Billy Maday is a proven scorer for the Irish. He had seven goals and 14 assists for 21 points in ‘09-’10 while missing eight games due to an the attack.

Coaching Staff

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish boast one of the top coaching staffs in the nation. Led

by Jeff Jackson and his staff with Paul Pooley, Andy Slaggert and T.J. Jindra, the Irish are 116-65-22 over the last five seasons.

Head Coach Jeff Jackson

Head Coach Sixth Season at Notre Dame Michigan State '78

Notre Dame hockey head coach Jeff Jackson enters his sixth season directing the Irish hockey program. In his first five year, the program has had some of its greatest moments.

When Notre Dame went looking for a new hockey coach following the 2004-05 campaign, the University searched for a coach 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 five 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 200607 and 2008-09 - and has made three trips to the NCAA Tournament (2006-09), advancing to Notre Dame’s first-ever NCAA Frozen Four appearance and a trip to the national championship game in 200708.

Over the past four seasons, Jackson’s icers are among the winningest programs in the nation in wins and winning percentage, going 103-46-18 (.671) since the start of the 2006-07 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 43-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 for a new ice arena that moved closer to fruition on Sept. 11, 2010 with the “official” groundbreaking for the new Compton Family Center that will open in Oct. of 2011.

For Jackson and the Irish, the 2009-10 campaign is one that they would like to put in the rearview mirror.

Coming off an ‘08-’09 season that included a second CCHA regular-season and tournament championship and their third consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament, the Irish struggled out of the gate in ‘09-’10 and never seemed to get things firing on all cylinders.

Struggling to score early in the year, the team was hit by injuries at the start of December that depleted

Jeff Jackson is the fourth head coach in the 43-year modern history of the Notre Dame hockey program. In 11 seasons as a Division I head coach, Jackson owns a 298-117-47 career record and his .696 winning percentage is the best among active coaches.

the roster into February. At one point in December, Notre Dame played a home-and-home series against Michigan with just three healthy defensemen and actually split with the Wolverines.

The Irish finished ‘09-’10 with a 13-17-8 overall record and were 9-12-7-2 in the CCHA, good for ninth place in the final standings. A first-round playoff loss to Ohio State sent Notre Dame home early.

The ‘08-’09 Irish had a season to remember on the way to a second conference and playoff title in three years. A slow start left Notre Dame with a 2-3-0 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 in the regular season.

They ended the regular season and the CCHA tournament on a 10-game winning streak.

The Irish finished first in the conference with a 21-4-3-3 record, eight points ahead of second place Miami and Michigan.

Notre Dame advanced to Joe Louis Arena for the third consecutive year by beating Nebraska-Omaha, 5-0 and 1-0, in the second round of the playoffs. The Irish knocked off Northern Michigan, 2-1, in the semifinals and rallied from a 2-0 deficit to knock off 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 were upset in the opening round by Bemidji State, 5-1.

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. For the first time since the 1976-77 season, Notre Dame had two

In just five seasons guiding the Irish, Jackson has seen the program go from five wins to 13 victories in his first season, to 103 wins over the last four years. For his tenure behind the Notre Dame bench, Jackson is 116-65-22 for a .626 winning percentage.

In 2007-08, the Irish were 27-16-4 on the year and finished fourth in the CCHA with a 15-9-4 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 thirdplace 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 fourthseeded 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. The Eagles ended the magical ride with a 4-1 victory in Denver.

After going 13-19-4 in his first season behind the bench in 2005-06, Jackson’s ‘06-’07 team got the ball rolling towards Irish hockey success.

During that season, Notre Dame set school records for overall wins (32) and CCHA victories (21) on the way to capturing the school’s first-ever CCHA regular-season and tournament champion-ships.

For the first time in the program’s history, the Irish were ranked No. 1 in the nation, holding that lofty perch for seven straight weeks from Feb. 5 through March 25. They made their second appearance in the NCAA tournament (first as a No. 1 seed) and won their first tournament game.

In five seasons behind the Notre Dame bench, Jeff Jackson has guided the Irish to a 116-65-22 record. Over that span, Notre Dame has won two CCHA regular-season and tournament titles (2007 and 2009), and made three NCAA appearances.

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.

While Jackson’s icers have gotten the job done on the ice, they have also acquitted themselves quite nicely off the ice in both the classroom and the community. As a team, the Irish turned in a 3.38 grade-point average in the classroom and they are heavily involved in the University’s community service work.

During his first two years behind the bench, Jackson’s teams made 15- and 19-point improvements in the conference standings, going from last in ‘04-’05 to eighth in ‘05-’06 to first during the ‘06’07 season. That two-season jump made the Irish just the third team in CCHA history to go from worst-to-first over a two-year span.

The 55-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 1968.

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 5-27-6 season in 2004-05 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 10-10-3 mark over the final 23 games. In CCHA play, the Irish showed a 15-point improvement over ‘04-’05 – going from 3-20-5 to 11-13-4 – good for eighth place in the league and the final home-ice spot in the CCHA playoffs. Only Miami made a bigger jump in ‘05-’06 with a 16-point improvement.

In Jackson’s first five seasons, the Irish have played with poise and discipline, relying on team defense, strong goaltending and excellent special teams play. They also have laid the foundation for future seasons with major success on the recruiting trail.

Since Jackson’s arrival, the Irish have had 16 players selected in the National Hockey League Entry Draft, including four in the first round. In that same span, 11 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 four years, Jackson has seen his teams lead the nation in team defense twice, (1.63 goals against in ‘06-’07 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 2010-11 season with a 11-year collegiate record of 298-117-47 for a .696 winning percentage, the best percentage among all Division I coaches with five years or more in Division I. His 298 career wins ranks 13th among active coaches.

Success is nothing new for Jackson on the Division I level. He returned to college hockey in ‘05-’06 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). His 1992-93 team also advanced to the

NCAA championship game, losing a 5-4 decision to Maine.

In taking over the Irish coaching duties in ‘05, Jackson became the first Notre Dame head coach to have won an NCAA Division I championship with another program before being hired as an Irish head coach.

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 1979.

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.

When Anzalone moved to the professional ranks following the 1989-90 season, Jackson took over as the head coach of the Lakers and in a six-year span (1991-96), guided them to six consecutive NCAA appearances, including three straight trips to the title game from 1992 through 1994.

In his first season behind the Lakers’ bench, Jackson’s squad was 33-10-3 overall and 26-2-4 in league play, winning the CCHA regular-season and tournament titles. 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 30-9-4 on the year, while finishing second in the league with a 20-8-4 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 Lakers were 32-8-5 during the 1992-93 season and finished third in the CCHA with a 20-5-5 record. They captured the league’s tournament title by beating Miami, 3-0, in the finals at Joe Louis Arena. Lake Superior defeated Minnesota-Duluth in the West Regional to advance to the finals at Milwaukee, Wis. There, the Lakers defeated Boston University in the semifinals and then faced Maine, led by Paul Kariya and Jim Montgomery, in the finals. A third-period rally by the Black Bears gave them a 5-4 win.

Lake Superior didn’t dwell on the loss for long as the Lakers’ success continued with a 31-10-4 record and a second-place CCHA finish in 1993-94. After losing to Michigan in the CCHA championship game, Jackson’s team rebounded by winning overtime games versus Northeastern (6-5), Michigan (5-4) and Harvard (3-2) to face Boston University in the title game at St. Paul, Minn. The Terriers weren’t much of a match for the Lakers as they recorded their second championship in three years with a 9-1 win.

Jackson’s Lakers followed their second championship season in 1994-95 with a 23-12-6 record and won their fourth CCHA tournament title.

In the NCAA tournament, Lake Superior defeated Clarkson in the first game of the East Regional and then lost to Boston University in the Regional final.

In his final season in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Jackson saw the Lakers return to the 30-win plateau, going 30-8-2 overall and winning their second regular-season title with a 22-6-2 mark. Lake Superior then lost to Michigan in the CCHA title game (just the second CCHA tournament loss in Jackson’s six years - 24-2) and saw the season come to an end with a loss in the East Regionals to Vermont.

Jeff Jackson’s Record Versus Division I Teams

NOTRE DAME®

During his six years guiding the Lakers, Jackson produced 12 All-Americans (five first team and seven second team) and one Academic AllAmerican. In 1991, he was recognized as the CCHA coach of the year. He is just one of 12 coaches to win multiple NCAA championships. From 1993-96, he also served as the Director of Athletics at Lake Superior.

Several of Jackson’s players advanced to play in the NHL. The list includes: Doug Weight, Brian Rolston, Keith Aldridge, Blaine Lacher, John Grahame, Bates Battaglia and Jim Dowd.

On June 7, 1996, Jackson was named the national coach and senior director of the newly founded U.S. National Team Development program based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In his first season while putting the program in place, he served as the head coach for the United States Junior National Team that captured the silver medal at the 1997 World Junior Championships, at the time, the best finish ever for the U.S. team.

Former Irish captain Ben Simon, was a member of that squad.

The following year, Jackson served as an assistant coach for Team USA at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. In his four years directing the national program, eight former Notre Dame players came from the developmental program. The list includes: Brett Henning, Michael Chin, Connor Dunlop, Paul Harris, John Wroblewski, Brett Lebda, Neil Komadoski and Rob Globke.

In 2000, Jackson left the U.S. program and took over as coach of the Ontario Hockey League’s (OHL) Guelph Storm where he turned a losing franchise around, finishing in second place in his first season with a 34-23-9-2 record. In the 2001-02 season, the Storm went 37-23-7-1 and hosted the Memorial Cup, advancing to the tiebreaker game where they lost to Victoriaville. In two-and-a-half seasons in Guelph, Jackson had an 87-67-24-4 record.

From Guelph, Jackson moved on to the National Hockey League’s (NHL) New York Islanders where he served as an assistant on Steve Stirling’s staff from 2003-05. In 2003-04, the Islanders finished third in the NHL’s Atlantic Division with a 38-29-11-4 record, good for 91 points. The Islanders lost in the first round of the playoffs to eventual Stanley Cup winner, Tampa, four games to one.

In May of 2003, Inside College Hockey, ranked Jackson 12th on its list of the 16 Greatest College Coaches of all-time with only five of the 16 still active in coaching.

Born June 22, 1955, Jackson is a member of the USA Hockey Coaches Achievement Program, the American Hockey Coaches Association and the National Hockey League Coaches Association.

Associate Head Coach Paul Pooley

Associate Head Coach Sixth Season at Notre Dame Ohio State '84

Paul Pooley returns for his sixth season at Notre Dame as the team’s associate head coach. He was named to the position on June 3, 2005, by head coach Jeff Jackson.

For Pooley, this is his second time serving as Jackson’s associate head coach. During his first stint at Lake Superior State (1992-94), Pooley was instrumental in the Lakers’ success as they advanced to the NCAA finals three times, winning in 1992 and 1994.

In just five seasons at Notre Dame, Pooley, along with Jackson and fellow assistant, Andy Slaggert, has helped change the culture of Irish hockey.

After a 13-19-4 first season, Pooley has seen the last four Notre Dame teams go a combined 103-4618, win a pair of CCHA regular-season and tournament titles (2007, 2009) and advance to the NCAA Tournament in three consecutive seasons (2006-09), including a trip to the Frozen Four and the NCAA title game in 2008.

Overseeing the Irish defense, Pooley has seen Notre Dame give up the fewest goals per game (1.67 in ‘06-’07), the fifth fewest in ‘07-’08 (2.13) and the fewest again in ‘08-’09, just 1.71 per game.

The veteran coach joined the Irish staff after spending 11 seasons (1994-2005) as head coach at Providence College. During those 11 seasons, Pooley’s Friars were a combined 185-187-40, winning the Hockey East title in 1995-96 and appearing in two NCAA tournaments (1996 and 2001).

In making the announcement of Pooley’s hiring, Jackson said, “Paul Pooley brings a certain level of integrity, work ethic and professionalism that I have great respect for. Our relationship in the past became a friendship, but our experience in the past will stay in the past. We’re hoping to re-establish a new center of excellence similiar to the one that we had at Lake Superior State together.”

As Jackson’s associate head coach, Pooley brings over 20 years of coaching experience to Notre Dame.

The 2001 Hockey East and New England coach of the year and a two-time finalist for the Spencer Penrose Award as the national coach of the year, Pooley was instrumental in the development of four All-American players during his tenure at Providence - forwards Chad Quenneville and Devin Rask, goaltender Nolan Schaefer and defenseman Stephen Wood. Six players who played for him with the Friars - Hal Gill, Joe Hulbig, Fernando Pisani, Mike Farrell, Jon DeSalvatore and Schaefer went on to play in the National Hockey League (NHL).

The combination of Andy and Paul (Pooley) will give us one of the most recognized coaching staffs in the country. And, in the end, my hope is that we will have one of the most successful staffs in the country. Andy is someone who can lead Paul and I through the process of becoming more familiar with Notre Dame and, in turn, his passion for this University will rub off on both of us. That will give us the combination of experience and the element of pride in what this University represents.”

In making the announcement, Jackson said, "T.J. has worked hard the last two years at Shattuck St. Mary's to obtain coaching experience to prepare for this move. It's something that he's wanted to do, but he wanted to wait until the last class that he played with graduated. Mike (O'Neill) has graciously stepped aside to allow T.J. the opportunity to pursue his coaching dreams."

"T.J. was instrumental as a captain and as a leader in the transition that helped us become a championship-caliber program in his final two seasons (2005-07). He had a lot to do with the change in the culture and the foundation of what we started. He will be valuable in his ability to relate with the players and help them understand what's important, in what it takes for us to have success," added Jackson who begins his sixth season behind the Notre Dame bench.

McNeill, who's full-time job is the director of hockey operations at The Ice Box, a South Bendarea rink, also is involved with USA Hockey, serving on the Youth Council's Executive Committee. He joined Jackson's staff to start the 2006-07 season.

Junior Eric Ringel begins his first season with the Notre Dame coaching staff as an undergraduate student assistant coach for the 2010-11 season. The former Irish defenseman saw his playing career cut short due to a concussion and concussion-like symptoms that forced him to retire from the game.

As an undergraduate assistant, Ringel will remain involved with the team, assisting the Notre Dame coaching staff with a wide variety of duties on a daily basis.

Ringel earned his first monogram during the 2009-10 season when he broke into the regular lineup as one of the team’s top six defensemen. In 17 games, he picked up one assist with one penalty for two minutes. He was +3 on the year and eight shots on goal.

The Hinckley, Ohio native was injured on Dec. 5, 2009 at Miami when he was run into the boards and received a concussion. The concussion-lile symptoms prevented him from returning to the lineup the remainder of the season and he was not given clearance by doctors this summer.

In two seasons at Notre Dame, Ringel played in 23 games with one assist and was +4 for his career.

A quick, mobile defenseman, Ringel joined the Irish after playing two seasons with the Mahoning Valley Phantoms of the North American Hockey League. In ‘07-’08, he scored seven goals with 20 assists for 27 points in 50 games, helping the Phantoms to a 36-18-4 record in the North Division. The team advanced to the NAHL championship game where they lost to St. Louis and fellow Irish teammates Nick Condon and Mike Johnson.

In his first year in Mahoning Valley, the 20-year old Ringel scored 10 goals with 15 assists for 25 points in 51 games as the Phantoms were 47-14-1 and captured the North Division title.

During the ‘06-’07 campaign, he played for USA Hockey’s Under-17 Select Team at the Four Nations Tournament and the Vlad Dzurilla Tournament in Feb. of 2007.

Born April 4, 1990 in Cleveland, Ohio, Ringel is a finance major in the Mendoza College of Business at Notre Dame.

Season in Review

Senior Ben Ryan was fifth on the Irish in scoring with seven goals and 12 assists for 19 points in 2009-10. The hard-working center has been one of the team’s top face-off men during his Notre Dame career.

Season in Review Irish Take A Step Back During 2009-10 Campaign

Notre Dame battles scoring woes and injuries on the way to 13-17-8 season.

After three seasons as the top program in all of college hockey, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish took a step back in 2009-10, finishing the year with a 13-17-8 overall record and a 9-12-7-2 mark in CCHA play.

That gave Notre Dame a ninth-place finish in the conference and saw the Irish open the playoffs on the road for the first time since the 2004-05 season.

While the previous three seasons ended in trips to the CCHA finals at Joe Louis Arena and then an appearance in the NCAA Tournament, Notre Dame’s ‘09-’10 campaign ended in the opening round of the CCHA playoffs as the Irish dropped two straight at Ohio State. That marked their earliest departure from the CCHA postseason since the 2005-06 season.

For followers of Irish hockey, certain aspects and events stick out when looking back at the season.

All year long, Notre Dame could never get its offense on track. In 38 games, the Irish scored just 90 goals for a 2.37 goals per game average or a goal per game less than the previous season (3.38 per game in 2008-09).

Defensively, the team’s goals-against average was up (2.63 per game) but that was to be expected following the graduation of Jordan Pearce ‘09, who recorded 30 wins in ‘08-’09 with a stingy 1.68 goals-against average.

Junior Calle Ridderwall finished the season as the team’s top scorer with 19 goals and 27 points. Eleven of his goals came on the power play. Ryan Thang ‘10 and Kyle Palmieri tied for second in the goal-scoring department with nine each.

Injuries also played a major role during the season for the Irish. On the year, the team lost 91 man-games to injury and played a significant portion of the year with key players out of the lineup.

An omen for what was in store for Notre Dame came on the first day of official practice when junior defenseman Teddy Ruth went down with a knee injury that sidelined him for 10 games until Nov. 14.

No fewer than 11 players missed time during the season with eight missing five or more games on the year.

The ‘09-’10 season got off to a rough start. Notre Dame opened with a series versus Alabama-Huntsville on Oct. 9-10. In the season opener, the Chargers got a power-play goal with just five seconds left on the clock to hand the Irish a 3-2 loss. Game two of the series saw the Irish fire 51 shots on goal as they took a 3-1 decision.

The following weekend was more of the same as Providence College would get a late third-period goal in the series opener for a 3-2 win before the Irish got back on track with a 2-0 shutout win the following night behind freshman goaltender Mike Johnson’s first career blanking.

After four consecutive home games, Notre Dame faced its biggest test of the young season as the Irish traveled to Boston to face the defending national champion, Boston University Terriers.

In Boston, Notre Dame put together one of its top performances of the season as the Irish blanked the third-ranked Terriers, 3-0, behind 34 saves from junior goaltender Brad Phillips. Notre Dame was out shot, 37-16, in the game but made the most of goals from Billy Maday, Ben Ryan and Ridderwall for the win over the Terriers.

Notre Dame’s two-game winning streak was snapped the following weekend as Boston College visited the Joyce Center and pulled out a 3-2 win with the winner coming with less than nine minutes remaining in the contest.

With a 3-3-0 mark after six games, the Irish opened

the CCHA schedule with a home series versus Ohio State. A win (3-1) and a shoot out loss gave Notre Dame a four-point weekend against the Buckeyes and a solid start in league play.

The unbeaten streak would go to 2-0-1 as the Irish entered November with a trip to Fairbanks, Alaska, taking the opener, 3-2, as Johnson made 35 saves in the win. The loss was the first of the year for the Nanooks who rebounded the following night with a 3-1 win that saw Alaska score three goals in the final period for the win.

Notre Dame returned home with a 5-4-1 record that would slide to 5-5-2 after a 3-2 loss and shootout win at home against Northern Michigan.

The shootout win actually started the Irish on their longest unbeaten streak of the season as they would go five games without a regulation loss (2-0-3).

Michigan State provided the next opponent with the Irish taking a shootout win at East Lansing on Nov. 19. Three days later, they knocked off the Spartans, 4-1, in a Notre Dame home game played at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Ft. Wayne, Ind. Phillips stopped 24-of-25 shots with Ridderwall, Palmieri, Riley Sheahan and Kevin Deeth providing the goals.

The unbeaten streak continued over the Thanksgiving holidays versus Bowling Green as the Irish won on home ice in overtime, 2-1.

Defenseman Ian Cole got the winning goal against the Falcons with just two seconds left in Senior defenseman Kyle Lawson was Notre Dame’s third-leading scorer with four the five-minute overtime period. Game two of goals and 18 assists for 22 points. The leader of the Irish defense was an honorable mention all-CCHA selection in 2009-10. the weekend saw the teams play to a 4-4 tie with Bowling Green winning the shoot out, 1-0. The Irish finished November with a 7-5-4 overall record and the most games (two) that they would Notre Dame into the Christmas holidays with an 8-8-4 be over .500 all season.

Next up for Notre Dame was the month of December overall record and a 5-5-4 mark in the CCHA. For the second consecutive year, the Irish opened the and a trip to Oxford, Ohio to face top-ranked Miami.

In the series opener on Dec.4, the teams battled second half of the season at Hoffman Estates, Ill., hosting tooth-and-nail with the Red Hawks, getting the lone goal the Shillelagh Tournament at the Sears Centre. Notre of the game, a first-period, short-handed tally in a 1-0 Dame knocked off Colgate, 5-2, to advance to the title game against sixth-ranked North Dakota, owners of a 3-1 win.

Miami completed the weekend sweep in game two win versus Niagara.

In the championship game, the Irish and Sioux battled with a 4-0 win over Notre Dame that evened the regularseason record to 7-7-4 overall. The game also marked to a 3-3 tie after 65 minutes, so the game was decided in the first time that the Irish had been shutout in back-to- a shoot out. Notre Dame got the win, outscoring the back games since Jan. 21-22, 2005. More than the two Sioux, 2-1. Dan Kissel and Ben Ryan scored in the extra losses, the Irish took a hit on the roster as four defense- shots session.

The win, a 6-1 victory that featured back two days later behind Johnson’s career-high, Ridderwall’s second hat trick of the year, represented the 38-save, 2-0 shutout win over the Wolverines. Irish head team’s biggest offensive outbust of the year.

Nebraska-Omaha closed out the end of January with a pair of games at the Joyce Center. The Mavericks, making their final CCHA appearance, took a 5-3 decision in the series opener and the Irish answered back with a 3-2 win on Saturday, Jan. 30. On that night, the Irish gave the “Shirts Off Their Backs,” to fans in a jersey auction that raised over $41,000 to benefit the Wounded Warriors project. Notre Dame would close out the season with five of their final six games during February on the road.

The Irish entered the month with a 12-11-7 record and were still in the hunt for fourth place in the conference standings.

The month of February was one that Notre Dame hockey fans would like to forget. The team traveled to Western Michigan where the Broncos handed the Irish, 7-2 and 4-1 losses. After a week off, they traveled to Bowling Green where the Falcons came from behind to down the Irish, 4-3, and then batled to a 1-1 tie, picking up the extra point in a shootout. With an 0-3-1 mark to start the month, Notre Dame was now 12-14-8 for the year and would have to open on the road in the opening round of the CCHA playoffs.

A season-ending series with arch-rival Michigan resulted in another split with the Wolverines getting a 4-0 shutout win at Yost Arena and the Irish winning 5-3 on Senior Night at the Joyce Center.

With a record of 12-16-8 overall and 9-12-7-2 in the Junior left wing Calle Riddewall led the Irish in goals for the second year CCHA, Notre Dame finished ninth in the league standings in a row.

Freshman left wing Nick Larson saw action in 35 games and had six goals and five assists. Two of his six goals were game winners on the year.

While the goal-scoring struggles dominated the season, the Irish know they weren’t that far off from what made them successful in the previous three seasons.

Strong goaltending, a stingy defense, outstanding special teams and a balanced offensive attack are what made Notre Dame the program it was during its threeyear run from 2006-09.

A return to their strengths are what the Irish will look for in the year to come as they look to return to the program’s “Gold Standard.”

October 9, 2009 Alabama-Huntsville 3 • Notre Dame 2 Notre Dame, Ind. – The Alabama-Huntsville Chargers got a power-play goal with five seconds in regulation to hand Notre Dame a 3-2 loss in the season-opening game in front of a sell-out crowd of 2,994 at the Joyce Center ... Cody Campbell’s goal came just 32 seconds after a tripping call to Irish left wing Ryan Thang in the neutral zone ... the win gave College Hockey America (CHA) a two-game winning streak versus the Irish after Notre Dame ended the 2008-09 campaign with an upset loss to Bemidji State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament ... Tom Train and Justin Cseter scored for UAH while freshmen Riley Sheahan and Kyle Palmieri got their Notre Dame careers off to fast starts with their first collegiate lamplighters in the loss ... Charger goaltender Cameron Talbot made 39 saves in the win while Brad Phillips, making his first start since Jan. 19, 2008, stopped 28-of-31 shots in the Notre Dame goal ... Sheahan got things started with a goal on his first career shot, notching a power-play tally just 3:02 into the opening period ... UAH tied the game at 13:13 of the second period when Train jumped on a rebound in front and tucked it behind Phillips in the Notre Dame goal to make it 1-1 ... the score would stay tied until the 15:50 mark of the middle stanza when Palmieri scored via the power-play, one-timing a shot from the right circle past Talbot for his first career goal ... the Chargers tied the game with 8:01 left in the third when Cseter whipped the rebound of a Train shot past Phillips to even things, 2-2 ... that set up Campbell’s late game heroics as he handed the Irish their first loss of the new season ... the loss dropped the Irish to 20-20-2 in season openers and 23-18-1 in home openers in the first 42 seasons at the Joyce Center ... Sheahan joined teammate Billy Maday and former Irish forward Tim Wallace ‘06 as Irish players to score on their first collegiate shots on goal ... the crowd of 2,994 was the 10th consecutive sellout for the Irish dating back to Dec. 13, 2008.

Notre Dame, Ind. – Some teams just like playing with their backs to the wall .... the Notre Dame hockey team scored three unanswered goals and then held off the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks late rally for a 3-2 win in front of a sold out Joyce Center crowd of 2,857 ... after coming out flat on Friday night in a 5-3 loss to the Mavericks, Notre Dame came out buzzing early, getting goals from Calle Ridderwall, Nick Larson and Sean Lorenz to build a 3-0 lead by the 8:25 mark of the second period ... from there, they turned things over to freshman goaltender Mike Johnson who turned away 32-of-34 shots on the night, giving up third-period goals to Terry Broadhurst and Rich Purslow (extra attacker goal) for the 3-2 win ... the win jumped the Irish into a tie for fourth place while the loss dropped Nebraska-Omaha from sixth to a tie for eighth as fourth place and ninth place in the conference are separated by just two points ... Notre Dame is now 12-11-7 for the year and 8-8-6-2 in the CCHA, while the Mavericks are 13-12-5 overall and 9-11-2-1 in conference play ... the Irish, playing with six players sidelined with injuries, jumped out to an early first-period lead as Ridderwall picked up his teambest 17th goal of the year at 6:45 ... the lead would go to 2-0 less than four minutes later when Larson converted his sixth goal of the year, this one on the power play at 10:30 ...

National prominence and national dominance are what separates the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) from the rest of college hockey.

For the first time since the 1998-99 season, the CCHA will have just 11 teams as Nebraska-Omaha has moved on to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. This will force the CCHA to use a new scheduling and playoff format in coming years.

To date, CCHA teams have won eight NCAA championships over the last 27 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 20 times in those same 27 seasons, with Michigan (8) and Michigan State (7) leading the way.

For the third year in a row, a CCHA team advanced to the Frozen Four with Miami advancing for the second consecutive season. The Red Hawks lost in the semifinals to Boston College in 2010 and fell in the 2009 title game in overtime 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 Last season (2009-10), the conference had four teams play in the NCAA Tournament as Miami, Michigan, Northern Michigan and for the first time, Alaska, all moved on in postseason play.

The 2008 campaign also saw the league pick up its sixth Hobey Baker Memorial Award as Michigan’s Kevin Porter joined Bowling Green’s George McPhee in 1982, Michigan State’s Kip Miller in 1990, Bowling Green’s Brian Holzinger in 1995, Michigan’s Brendan Morrison in 1996, and in 2001 Michigan State goaltender Ryan Miller.

The CCHA began in 1971-72 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 1975-76 when Western Michigan joined the league. Ohio State rejoined that year and Northern Michigan’s arrival in 1977-78 brought the CCHA’s membership to six teams.

After a season as a provisional member, Ferris State joined the league in 1979-80. 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 1981-82 after spending 1980-81 as a provisional member.

In 1981-82, the CCHA added four teams from the WCHA — Michigan, Michigan State, Michigan Tech and Notre Dame — raising its membership to 11 teams. The

NOTRE DAME®

CCHA reached an all-time high of 12 teams in 1982-83, with the addition of the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Notre Dame left the league in 1983-84, only to return 10 years later.

Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan jumped to the WCHA in 1984-85, reducing the CCHA to nine teams where it would stay for eight seasons.

In 1992-93, 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 1995-96 season.

Northern Michigan rejoined the conference in 1997-98, following 13 years as a member of the WCHA, bringing the CCHA membership to 11 teams.

The 1999-2000 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 this year.

For this season only, the CCHA will use a ‘one-year only’ scheduling format that was adopted in the summer of 2009 to help the conference transition to an 11-team league from a 12-team league.

Each CCHA member will continue to play 28 conference games.

Alaska, Ferris State, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State form a five-team group. These teams play two games against all 10 teams (20 games) and two additional games against the teams in their own group (8 games).

Bowling Green/Western Michigan, Lake Superior State/Notre Dame and Northern Michigan/Miami are ‘partnered’ together and form a six-team group.

These teams will play two games against all ten teams (20 games) and two additional games against the teams in their own group (8 games), except the team that they are ‘partnered’ with.

For example, Bowling Green and Western Michigan will play two additional games versus Lake Superior State, Notre Dame, Northern Michigan and Miami.

A new playoff format also will be followed this season 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 During the 200506 season, a new playoff format was introduced that includes two rounds of best-of-three series. In the second round, the top three seeds will host the lowest remaining seed with fouth place facing fifth in a best-ofthree series with the four winners advancing to Joe Louis Arena for the CCHA Championship.

In 2008-09, 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.

NCAA Championships • The 12 current CCHA teams have combined to win eight NCAA Championships in the last 27 seasons: Bowling Green (1984), Michigan State (’86, ’07), Lake Superior (’88, ’92, ’94), Northern Michigan (’91, ’92) and Michigan (’96, ’98).

• The CCHA has sent 12 different teams to the NCAA Tournament since 1990: Bowling Green, Ferris State, Lake Superior, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Northern Michigan, Ohio State and Western Michigan.

Notre Dame joined the list in 2004 while NebraskaOmaha made its first appearance in 2006 and Alaska advanced in 2010.

Hobey Baker Winners • Six CCHA players have received the Hobey Baker national player-of-the-year award: Bowling Green forward George McPhee (1982), Michigan State forward Kip Miller (’90), Bowling Green forward Brian Holzinger (’95), Michigan forward Brendan Morrison (’97), Michigan State goaltender Ryan Miller (2001) and 2008 winner Kevin Porter from Michigan.

The Five Assists Club Steve Curry (above) became the first Irish hockey player to record five assists in a game, doing so on Feb. 8, 1974, in an 8-3 victory over Michigan State at the Joyce Center.

Jack Brownschidle tied the mark three years later – also versus Michigan State – in a 10-3 victory over the Spartans in East Lansing (Jan. 5, 1977).

The five-assist mark has been equaled three other times, last by Jamie Ling during the 1994-95 season.

The Joyce Center

Notre Dame’s Joyce Center, celebrating its 44th year of service to the University in 2010-11, 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 1987.

Formerly known as the Athletic and Convocation Center (ACC), the structure is now referred to as the Joyce C ­ enter.

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

The 2010-11 season will be the final full season of hockey at the Joyce Center Rink as the Irish play their 43rd year in the building. Joyce Center has been the home of Notre Dame hockey for the first 42 years of the “modern era” of the program. 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 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

The student section at the Joyce Center can make life miserable for opposing teams. Notre Dame students have helped the Irish to 23 sellout crowds in the last 27 games since midway through the 2008-09 season. Over the last four years, the Irish are successful campaigns, the Irish are 45-16-10 at home.

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 360-285-57 (.552) in 43 seasons on the Joyce Center ice.

During the 2008-09 season, Notre Dame was 13-3-2 on home ice for a .778 winning percentage. Over the past four seasons under Jeff Jackson, the Irish are a nifty 45-16-10 for a .704 win percentage at the Joyce Center.

That mark is highlighted by a 13-2-2 mark (.824) in the record-setting season of 2006-07.

In 2003-04, Notre Dame equaled a school record by going 15 games (13-0-2) without a loss at home on the way to a 14-2-2 mark. The 14 wins were the secondbest win total (surpassed only by the 18 wins the 198788 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 2003-04 season, Notre Dame hosted their first home playoff series since 1999-2000, defeat-

ing Western Michigan, two games to one. The Irish also swept fourth-ranked Michigan in a home series for the first time since the 1981-82 campaign. Both games were played in front of sellout crowds of 2,763.

Since 2005-06, the Irish have hosted CCHA playoff action in four of five season, including three consecutive second round series from 2007-09. Notre Dame owns a 6-1 record in winning those three second round appearances and has advanced to the CCHA championship in each of those seasons.

The Irish have enjoyed four of their best seasons attendance-wise over the last three campaigns. In ‘06-’07, they played in front of 11 sellout crowds (2,763). In 2007-08, the Joyce Center hosted 11 more sellouts and averaged 2,683 per game.

The 2008-09 campaign saw the Irish host 13 sellouts during the 18-game home schedule and averaged 2,702 per game. On Jan. 30 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.

The 2009-10 schedule resulted in 14 sellouts in 18 home games with an average attendance of 2,765 per game, just over a standing room sellout per game with two crowds of over 3,000 for the year.

Since the new seating configuration for the 199596 season, the Irish have hosted 108 sellout crowds for hockey at the Joyce Center.

Notre Dame owns a 360-285-57 record in 42 years at the Joyce Center. One of the biggest wins came on Oct. 22, 2004 when Morgan Cey (right) made a career-high 50 saves and T.J. Jindra scored the shorthanded, gamewinning goal with 15 seconds left as the Irish stunned top-ranked Boston College, 3-2.

The win marked the eighth time in the program’s history that Notre Dame knocked off the No. 1 team in the country and the fifth time the Irish did it at the Joyce Center.

Irish Hockey History

Irish Hockey Closing Out An Era In 2010-11 Notre Dame to play final full season in Joyce Center, the 43-year old home of the Irish.

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 home ice at the Joyce Center and the program’s future home - the Compton Family Center in 2011, the Notre Dame hockey program has experienced a little bit of everything in its on-again, off-again 99-year history.

While most followers of Notre Dame’s 43-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 1912-13 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 1-2-0.

After that first season, the program took a sevenyear hiatus, returning again in 1919-20 under the guidance of two-time football All-American running back Paul Castner. The football standout served as player-coach from 1919-21 before serving as coach for two more seasons following his graduation.

In four seasons at the helm, Castner’s teams were 18-4-0 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 1920-21 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 1921-22 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 two-time (1921 and 1922) All-American at right tackle, Leib’s teams were 3-8-3 between 1923-26.

The team played one more season in 1926-27 under the guidance of Benjamin Dubois. That team went 3-7-1 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 1963-64 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 1968-69 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

134 U N I V E R S I T Y o f

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 196364 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 0-8-0 in that first season.

In 1964-65, the club program improved to 5-6-0 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 1965-66 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, Rev. Edmund P. Joyce and athletics director, Edward “Moose” Krause.

The 1965-66 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 6-9-3.

The program really began to take shape in 1966-67, 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 14-5-3 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 1968-69. 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 1967-68, the club team played its final season before moving to the Division I level.

THE RETURN TO VARSITY STATUS The University hired Charles “Lefty” Smith as the program’s first coach for the 1968-69 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 1968-71, compiling a record of 50-32-6, providing

The Notre Dame hockey teams of the 1920s included several well-known members of the school’s football team. The 1920-21 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 1931-33. 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 1919-21 before coaching the team for two more seasons following his graduation. He also was an accomplished baseball player at Notre Dame.

WCHA

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.

Smith three seasons to build a competitive program before the Irish became members of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA), beginning with the 1971-72 season.

The Irish struggled to a 10-16-0 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 19-9-0 conference record was good for a second-place finish in 1972-73.

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 twogame, 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 1976-77.

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 AllAmerican. Brian Walsh (Cambridge, Mass.) earned All-America status and was named the 1976-77 WCHA MVP and Greg Meredith (Toronto, Ont.) earned All-America honors in 1979-80.

Four years later, Notre Dame joined Michigan, Michigan State and Michigan Tech as the newest members of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA). In 1981-82, Dave Poulin (Mississauga, Ont.) – a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award – led Notre Dame to a 23-15-2 record, a Great Lakes Invitational championship and a fourth-place finish in the regular-season 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 13-21-2 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 1983-84, varsity hockey returned to Notre Dame the following season (1984-85) when the Irish competed as a nonscholarship independent team.

Irish Hockey History Smith remained at the helm through the end of the 1986-87 campaign, compiling a 19-year record of 307-320-30. 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 ’70-’74 and an assistant coach under Smith from 1975-80.

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 1992-93 season.

Prior to stepping down as head coach following the 1994-95 campaign, Schafer compiled a 112152-15 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 1998-99, 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 (RouynNoranda, 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 2001-02 and 2002-03, the Irish pulled off playoff upsets and advanced to Joe Louis and the CCHA Super Six. In a five-year span, from 1999-00 to 2003-04, Notre Dame made it to Joe Louis Arena four times (2000, 2002, 2003, 2004).

In 2001-02, 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 higherseeded 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.

and saw solid results as the team improved to 13-19-4 overall and earned home ice in the first round of the CCHA tournament with an 11-13-4 conference record.

Jackson’s second year behind the bench saw the 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 AllAmerican in school history - goaltender David Brown (Stoney Creek, Ont.), Notre Dame compiled a school-record 32 wins on the way to a 32-7-3 mark and won their first-ever CCHA regularseason title with a 21-4-3 league record.

Along the way, Jackson’s squad achieved the first-ever 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 AlabamaHuntsville with freshman Ryan Thang (Edina, Minn.) getting the game winner with 4:42 left in the second overtime. The dream season came to an end the following night in a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to eventual NCAA champion Michigan State.

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 (1968-69) and then served as captain in 1969-70 and 1970-71.

The 2003-04 season saw the Irish turn in their first 20-win season (20-15-4) since 1987-88, while finishing tied for fourth in the league standings with a 14-11-3 record. The Irish hosted regionalrival 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 – to Northern Michigan (3-1) in ’01-’02 and Ohio State (3-2 and 6-5 in overtime) in ’02-’03 and ’03-’04 respectively.

The highly successful 2003-04 season ended with the Irish being selected to participate in their first-ever NCAA tournament on the strength of a 5-1-1 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 ’04-’05 season (5-276), 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

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.

In 2007-08, 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 27-16-4 overall record and were 15-9-4 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., the Irish found the goal-scoring touch as they dispatched the region’s top-seed, New Hampshire, 7-3, and then bounced Michigan State from the tournament with a 3-1 win.

Notre Dame became the first No. 4 seed to make the Frozen Four and would face the nation’s topranked 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 2008-09 saw the Irish win its second CCHA regularseason and tournament championship as they were went 31-6-3 overall and 21-4-3-3 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-to-back quarterfinal games to advance Notre Dame to its third straight trip to the CCHA championship round at Joe Louis Arena.

In Detroit, the Irish stopped Northern Michigan in the semifinals, 2-1, with Ben Ryan (Brighton, Mich.) getting the game winner with one minute left in the game. Versus Michigan in the title game, Notre Dame trailed 2-0 in the second period before running off five unanswered goals on the way to the 5-2 win. Pearce was named the tournament MVP with Ryan, Ridderwall, Pearce and defenseman

Notre Dame faced off against Michigan in its first-ever Frozen Four appearance. The game was played at Denver’s Pepsi Center with the Irish winning in overtime, 5-4.

Ian Cole (Ann Arbor, Mich.) selected to the alltournament team.

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.

During his four seasons behind the Notre Dame bench, Jackson saw his teams record a 103-45-18 mark for a .675 winning percentage with the win total and winning percentage being among the best in the nation in that span.

Recognition for Notre Dame hockey though has continued to grow. In the first 43 years of the program, NHL teams have drafted 65 Irish players, including five in the 2007 and 2010 Entry Drafts.

In three of the last four 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.) chosen by

Anaheim and in 2010, center Riley Sheahan (St. Catharine’s, Ont.) and defensemam Jarred Tinordi (Millersville, Md.) were chosen on consecutive picks, 21st and 22nd overall by the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Canadiens.

The 2009-10 season saw seven former Notre Dame players see ice time with NHL teams.

Defenseman Mark Eaton (Pittsburgh) is the elder statesman of the group and is followed by defenseman Brett Lebda (Detroit) and forward Yan Stastny (St. Louis) as NHL veterans. Four others saw action in ‘09-’10, including Tim Wallace (Pittsburgh), Wes O’Neill (Colorado), Christian Hanson (Toronto) and Victor Oreskovich (Florida).

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. Seventeen 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 2007-08) and Eaton (Pittsburgh in 2008-09) — 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 27 of their players come from the program, including seven on the 2010-11 roster alone.

The Notre Dame hockey team celebrates its second CCHA title at Joe Louis Arena after defeating Michigan, 5-2, in the 2009 title game.

NCAA Tournament History 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-on-one 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 teamhigh 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.

2007 NCAA Tournament - First Round Midwest Regional #1 Notre Dame 3 • Alabama-Huntsville 2 (2ot) March 23, 2007 • Grand Rapids, Mich.

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 win 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.

2007 NCAA Tournament - Quarterfinals Midwest Regional #10 Michigan State 2 • #1 Notre Dame 1 March 24, 2007 • Grand Rapids, Mich.

The Notre Dame hockey season will go down as the best in the program’s 39-year history as the Irish set record after record on the way to a 32-7-3 record. 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 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 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.

The Irish would get several chances in the waning moments as Brown was pulled for the final 1:15 of the game in favor of a sixth attacker but could not score.

Defenseman Wes O'Neill and forward Ryan Thang were selected to the All-Regional Team from Notre Dame. They were joined by Michigan State forwards Tim Kennedy and Chris Mueller, defenseman Tyler Howells and goaltender Jeff Lerg.

Lerg was the Regional Most Valuable Player.

2008 NCAA Tournament - First Round West Regional #12 Notre Dame 7 • #4 New Hampshire 3 March 28, 2008 • Colorado Springs, Colo.

For most of the second half of the 2007-08 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.

Junior Christian Hanson scored two goals while Ian Cole (ppg), Kyle Lawson (ppg), Dan Kissel, Ryan Thang and Kevin Deeth had single goals in the win. Mark Van Guilder had a three-assist night while Thang added two assists for his threepoint game.

New Hampshire got two goals from Jerry Pollastrone and one from Phil DeSimone while James vanRiemsdyck added three assists in the game.

The win improved Notre Dame to 25-15-4 on the year while fourth-ranked New Hampshire ends its season with a 25-10-3 mark.

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 when 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.

On the night, New Hampshire would out shoot Notre Dame, 35-34. Pearce finished the night with 32 saves while Regan had 27.

2008 NCAA Tournament - Quarterfinals West Regional #12 Notre Dame 3 • #9 Michigan State 1 March 29, 2008 • Colorado Springs, Colo.

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 ‘06-’07 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 one-timer from the left circle behind Pearce for his third point of the weekend to make it 1-1.

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.

2008 NCAA Tournament - Semifinals Frozen Four #5 Notre Dame 5 • #1 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 top-seeded 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.

NCAA Tournament History 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 2007-08 season and their first since defeating AlabamaHuntsville in the 2006-07 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.

2008 NCAA Tournament - Finals Frozen Four #3 Boston College 4 • #5 Notre Dame 1 April 12, 2008 • Denver, Colo.

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 thirdranked 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 27-16-4 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

144 U N I V E R S I T Y o f

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 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.

2009 NCAA Tournament - First Round 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 31-6-3 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

Calle Ridderwall talks to the media after scoring two goals, including the overtime game winner, versus Michigan in Notre Dame’s first Frozen Four appearance on April 10, 2008.

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.

William Donald Nyrop Award Defensive Player of the Year

Defenseman Kyle Lawson ‘10 receives the William Donald Nyrop Award as the team’s top defensemen from Bill Nyrop’s daughters, Jessica (left) and Hannah (right) Nyrop, who presented the award in honor of their father, a former Irish All-American defenseman at the 2009 Awards Banquet.

Notre Dame Rookie of the Year

NOTRE DAME®

Bill Nyrop was one of the finest defenseman ever to play at Notre Dame. The Edina, Minn., native was a standout blueliner from 1970-74, playing in 119 games with 17 goals and 72 assists for 89 points.

Selected in the fifth round of the 1972 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens, Nyrop was selected second team all-WCHA in 1973 and was an All-American selection that season.

In 2002, he was chosen to the WCHA’s 50th anniversary team along with teammate Jack Brownschidle. Following his Notre Dame career, Nyrop went on to play on three Stanley Cup championship teams with the Montreal

Canadiens (1976-78).

He passed away on Dec. 31, 1995 due to cancer at the age of 43. His memory and legacy at Notre Dame will live on with the William Donald Nyrop defensive player of the year award that is presented to the team’s top defensive player each season.

Charles “Lefty” Smith Coaches Award Charles “Lefty” Smith came to Notre Dame in 1968 to start the Notre Dame hockey program and remained the head coach of the Fighting Irish for 19 seasons before retiring in 1987. During his time behind the bench, Notre Dame produced six All-Americans and finished second in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) twice (1972-73 and 1976-77). He was selected the WCHA Coach of the Year following the 1972-73 season. The popular head coach retired following the 1986-87 season with a career record of 307-320-30.

Following his coaching career, Smith became the director of the Loftus Sports Center where he remains today coordinating all events and activities. In 2002, he was honored for his outstanding accomplishments in hockey at the Hobey Baker Award Banquet as a “Legend of Hockey” honoree.

“Lefty” Smith’s name will always be synonymous with Irish hockey as his name now graces the Coaches Award that goes annually to the unsung hero of the Notre Dame hockey program, the player who is unheralded, has overcome adversity and shows loyalty and commitment to his teammates, Notre Dame hockey and the University of Notre Dame.

Byron V. Kanaley Award The most prestigious honor awarded to a Notre Dame student-athlete, the Byron V. Kanaley Award, has been presented each year since 1927 to the senior monogram athletes who have been most exemplary as both students and leaders.

The awards, presented by the Faculty Board on Athletics, are named in honor of a 1904 Notre Dame graduate who was a member of the Notre Dame baseball team as an undergraduate. Kanaley went on to a successful banking career in Chicago and served the University as a lay trustee from 1915 until his death in 1960.

Eight members of the Notre Dame hockey team have received the award, including: Kevin Hoene (1972), Mark Kronholm (1974), Greg Meredith (1980), Tom Michalek (1980), Steve Noble (1998), Dan Venard (2008), Erik Condra (2009) and Kevin Deeth (2010).

The Irish and USA Hockey

Three Notre Dame players, skated on the USA’s 1999-2000 World Junior Championship team (each pictured in second row): Brett Henning (fourth from left), David Inman (fifth from right) and Connor Dunlop (third from right).

USA Hockey Looks To Notre Dame for Helping Hand at World Junior Championships

Former Irish right wing Kyle Palmieri became the first Notre Dame player to win a gold medal at the World Junior Championships as he was a member of the 2010 U.S. Junior National Team that won the title in Saskatoon. He was third on the team in scoring with a goal and eight assists for nine points in seven games.

The Notre Dame hockey program has played a leading role in the United States Hockey junior national program in recent years. After concluding his Notre Dame career, All-American defenseman Jack Brownschidle was a member of the USA Hockey team in 1976-77 and ’78-’79. Thirty-two years later, a total of 32 Irish players have been a part of USA Hockey, with the junior national team or under-18 developmental program. Last season, Kyle Palmieri helped the United States to a gold medal in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

University of Notre Dame

History l The University of Notre Dame du Lac was founded

in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to St. Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair. l Notre Dame would establish many firsts for Catholic institutions of higher learning, including the first Catholic law school, the first Catholic engineering school and the first student residence with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

Academics l The University is organized into four colleges – Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Men-

doza College of Business – the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system. l Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s top-25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted

by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s and Kaplan/Newsweek. l The Mendoza College of Business is ranked #1 among the nation’s top undergraduate business schools by Bloomberg BusinessWeek. l Notre Dame is among a select group of schools that ranks in the top 30 on the U.S. News & World Report survey of the nation’s top colleges and in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup for overall success in athletics.

Students l

Graduate and undergraduate students at the University come from all 50 states 100 countries worldwide. l Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton. l Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate between the freshman and sophomore years is among the highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program. l Notre Dame has one of the highest undergraduate residential concentrations of any national university, with 80 percent of its students living in 29 residence halls.

l

The medical school acceptance rate of the University’s preprofessional studies graduates is 80 percent, almost twice the national average. l Notre Dame ranks first among Catholic universities in the number of doctorates earned by its undergraduate alumni – a record compiled over some 85 years.

Service l

Community service is a hallmark of Notre Dame. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in some form of voluntary community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent devote a year or more after graduation to service in the United States and around the world. l The University’s Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach in some 100 understaffed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.

Alumni l l

l

The University’s network of nearly 270 alumni clubs – including 60 international clubs – is the most extensive in higher education.

With graduates renowned for their loyalty and generosity, Notre Dame annually ranks among the top-five in percentage of alumni who contribute to the University.

In recent years, Notre Dame alumni have won a Nobel Prize in medicine, a Pulitzer Prize in journalism and an Emmy Award for contributions to television technology.
