UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME History •

•

The University of Notre Dame du Lac was founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to Saint Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair. 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.

Students •

Graduate and undergraduate students at the University come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.

•

Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.

•

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.

•

Academics •

•

The University is organized into four colleges - Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Mendoza 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.

•

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.

Notre Dame has one of the highest undergraduate residential concentrations of any national university, with 80 percent of its students living in 27 residence halls.

Alumni

•

Notre Dame ranks first among Catholic universities in the number of doctorates earned by its undergraduate alumni - a record compiled over some 85 years.

•

The University’s network of 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.

Featuring five undergraduate colleges (Arts and Letters, Science, Architecture, Engineering and Business), the First Year of Studies, the Graduate School and the Law School, the University finds itself attracting some of the top students and faculty in the country.

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.

SPORTS MEDICINE

Sports Medicine While no athlete plans on an injury, Notre Dame is prepared with one of the top sports medicine teams in the country to help keep its athletes fit and ready to compete. 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. With approximately 200 years combined experience on the full-time staff, Notre Dame also boasts a partnership with the renowned South Bend Orthopaedics to provide first-class care.

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 has risen to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant, and executive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries, is in his second year as director of athletics at his alma mater. His first year on campus in 2008-09 featured the announcement of plans for a new, free-standing ice hockey arena; creation of an athletic administrative division to enhance athletic performance — plus 35 All-Americans, eight Academic All-Americans and four NCAA postgraduate Scholarship winners. Notre Dame teams in 2008-09 finished as the NCAA runner-up in both women’s soccer (26-1, led by Hermann Trophy winner Kerri Hanks) and fencing (men 33-0, women 32-2), while the women’s tennis squad advanced to the NCAA semifinals. The Irish men’s soccer squad was seeded 14th in the NCAA bracket, while the hockey team ranked fourth in the final poll after winning CCHA regular-season and postseason crowns. Men’s lacrosse finished unbeaten in the regular season (and second in the final poll) -- and women’s lacrosse won its first BIG EAST title. Notre Dame also ranked number one in the country (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) numbers with a 98 for all student-athletes. The 2009 Academic Progress Rate (APR) statistics included more perfect 1,000 scores by Irish teams (nine) than by any other FBS institution. Raised in Yonkers, N.Y., 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 was 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’s leadership efforts resulted in the city earning the bid to host the 2012 Super Bowl; becoming the home of the NCAA headquarters; and hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, the 1991 World Gymnastics Championships, NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours, and other college championship competitions plus a wide array of national and world championships in the Olympic sports. He served as sports commissioner of the 1982 U.S. Olympic Festival in Indianapolis, competition director of the ’87 Pan American Games, and chairman of the ’91 World Gymnastics Championships. Swarbrick has served as general counsel for numerous national governing bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics and USRowing. Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick and his wife Kimberly are the parents of four children: Kate, a senior at Saint Louis University; Connor, a junior at Wake Forest University; Cal, a senior in high school; and Christopher, a high school junior.

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 athletics facilities which will open on campus during the 2009-10 year. Alumni Stadium will be the new home for men’s and women’s soccer; Purcell Pavilion renovation and expansion of the Joyce Center arena will be completed; and Arlotta Family Stadium will open as the new home for the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams.

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).

Million dollars being spent on Purcell Pavilion for additions and renovations to the Joyce Center arena. Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center will feature a three-story addition with club seating, a hospitality area, additional area for restrooms and concessions, as well as new space for the Varsity Shop and the Notre Dame ticket office.

Facilities which are still on the master plan to create a comprehensive athletic quad. The track and field teams, the hockey program, the tennis squads and the rowing team all will receive new facilities in the near future.

2009-10 HOCKEY

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 second 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). Beginning his first full season behind the microphone will be awardwinning, play-by-play broadcaster Darin Pritchett Darin Pritchett. Now in his 10th year at WSBT, Pritchett took over the role as the voice of Irish hockey in late February 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. A native of Petersburg, Illinois, Pritchett will continue in his role as the main WSBT Radio sports announcer 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 and 2006 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.

Hockey Information The Notre Dame hockey team lost an important member of its family on Friday, Feb. 27, 2009 when long-time radio announcer Mike Lockert died at the age of 43 from a heart attack. The “Voice of the Irish,” for seven seasons, Lockert was known for his always upbeat attitude, friendly smile and infectious laugh that were staples of many long road trips. Lockert’s memory was honored at the final regular-season home game versus Michigan State with a moment of silence and the Notre Dame players wore the ML initials on their helmets for the remainder of the postseason. A memorial service was held in the Monogram Room of the Joyce Center on March 12 that was attended by his family. At the service, he was awarded the team’s Honorary Alumni Award as his parents, William and Barbara Lockert, were presented a jersey with his name on the back.

In Memorium: Mike Lockert A native of Los Angeles, Calif., Lockert also worked in baseball public relations and play-by-play, spending four seasons with the South Bend Silverhawks, a Class-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks and a year with the Southern Illinois Miners in the independent Frontier League. Lockert’s energetic broadcast style brought the excitement to Irish hockey fans via the radio and the Internet from 2002-09. A die-hard University of Southern California fan, Lockert got his start in hockey broadcasting during the 1999-2000 season as the play-by-play man for the Huntington Blizzard of the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL). Prior to joining the Silverhawks in 2002, Lockert worked as a national talk show host on the Cable Radio Network. He also hosted several radio shows in his hometown of Los Angeles and has served as host for UCLA pre-and-post-game shows and Los Angeles Clippers halftime show. Lockert attended California State University - Los Angeles where he majored in broadcast communications.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®

While the 2009-10 season is not a year in which rules will change, the Men’s amd Women’s Ice Hockey Rules Committee is communicating its intent in a few key areas to allow for experimentation and refinement before the next annual meeting in June 2010. The committee reaffirmed its intent to use the following principles when making rule changes: 1. Encouraging the speed, skill and integrity of the game; 2. Encouraging more scoring chances, but not necessarily more goals; and 3. Eliminating whistles and encouraging continuous action. The committee identified several points of emphasis for the upcoming season: Contact after the Whistle - The committee believes altercations after the whistle are a growing and disturbing trend. After reviewing numerous situations, the committee is extremely concerned about student-athlete safety as well as the negative impact on the game’s image. The committee believes a cultural shift is needed. The committee instructs officials to strictly enforce these types of penalties when violations occur. Any contact to the head after a whistle tends to escalate altercations. The committee has clarified that “facewashing” is considered grasping the facemask, which is a violation of Rule 6-14-a. To provide officials with further guidance the committee instructs officials to follow these guidelines when assessing penalties in this area: • Placing an open hand on the facemask of an opposing player should be penalized with a minor penalty; • Pushing with an open hand on an opposing player's facemask, grabbing or, moving an open hand back and forth on an opposing player's facemask, e.g., “facewashing,” should be penalized with a major penalty; and • Grasping the facemask and either pulling or twisting is considered an aggressive and potentially dangerous tactic and may be penalized as excessive roughness, which carries a disqualification. Additionally, when altercations occur, players must respect and follow the direction of game officials. Players must not resist an official or persist in continuing an altercation after the player has been ordered to stop. Rule 6-1-l calls for a misconduct, game misconduct or disqualification at the referee’s discretion in this area. Standard of Enforcement/Protection of the Puck Carrier - Entering the second season with the two-referee system in place for all levels of NCAA ice hockey, the expectation of overall enforcement is higher. Referees should be comfortable with the mechanics and positioning of the system. As a reminder, officials are instructed to call fouls when the puck carrier’s hands or arms are impeded by the use of a stick or free hand.The puck carrier is not required to fight through such actions. Consistent enforcement of all restraining and impeding fouls must continue. Hitting From Behind - The committee continues to emphasize strict enforcement of this penalty and reaffirms that responsibility remains with the player delivering the contact. A major penalty must be assessed when this foul occurs into the boards or goal cage. The committee understands that, in some cases, a player will be penalized for an unintentional hit, but student-athlete safety is the overriding concern.

CCHA RULE CHANGE - Three Points For Regulation and Overtime Wins The Central Collegiate Hockey Association has announced that with the start of CCHA conference play on Oct. 23, a regulation time or overtime victory will be worth three points in the league standings. This season, a regulation or sudden-death overtime win will earn a team three points in the standings, a shootout victory will garner two points, a shootout loss will be rewarded by one point, and a loss in regulation or overtime will mean no points. So, any game that goes to a shootout will see the victor credited with a tie and a shootout win in the conference standings, while the loser will receive credit for a tie. This differs from the system utilized in 2008-09, where a regulation/overtime victory and a shootout win meant two points, a shootout loss gave a team one point, and a regulation/overtime loss was awarded no points. This new system gives greater incentive to earn a victory in regulation or during the five-minute overtime period than winning in a shootout., but teams that perform well in shootouts will still have a clear advantage. However, like last year, CCHA league games that are decided in a shootout will go down as a tie in the overall national rankings and have no bearing on a team’s Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) come NCAA Tournament time. Additionally, a shootout will again not be used to decide games during the CCHA Tournament, with the exception of the third-place game at Joe Louis Arena.

Season Preview

Junior defenseman Ian Cole leads a stingy Irish defense that gave up just 1.73 goals-per-game in 2008-09. A 2007 firstround pick the St. Louis Blues, Cole was selected first-team all-CCHA and first-team All-American for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;08-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;09 season.

2009-10 HOCKEY

Irish Hockey Notebook Notre Dame Hockey by the Numbers 6,901 Career minutes played by goaltender Lance Madson (1986-90).

3,007 The size of the crowd on Jan. 30, 2009 when the Irish met Michigan at the Joyce Center. The standing-room only crowd was the largest to see Notre Dame play since March 10, 1995 when 3,310 saw the Irish defeat IllinoisChicago. Following that season, new seating was installed reducing the capacity of the Joyce Center.

2,857 A sellout crowd (including standing room) at the Joyce Center. A regular sellout is 2,713. During the 2008-09 season, the Irish played to sellout crowds in 13 of the team’s 18 home games and averaged 2,702 per game. Since the 1995-96 season, the Irish have played in front of 94 sellout crowds, including 15 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 2007-08 season.

1968 First varsity hockey season of the modern era.

1912 First varsity hockey season.

307 Career coaching wins by Lefty Smith, in 19 seasons at Notre Dame.

285 Career coaching wins by current Irish head coach Jeff Jackson, between Notre Dame and Lake Superior State.

193:27 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.

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. He finished his career as Notre Dame’s all-time leader in games played with 163.

104 ND record for career goals, set by Greg Meredith (197680) after scoring twice in his final game to beat Eddie Bumbacco’s (1970-74) previous record of 103.

103 Jeff Jackson’s win total in his four seasons behind the Notre Dame bench. The Irish bench boss is 103-48-14 (.667) since taking over behind the bench prior to the 2005-06 season.

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 gradepoint average in his double major of anthropology/premed. 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. ALL-AMERICANS – Two Notre Dame players were selected AHCA/Reebok All-Americans following the 2008-09 season. Sophomore defenseman Ian Cole (Ann Arbor, Mich.) was selected as a first team All-American while senior right wing Erik Condra (Livonia, Mich.) was selected second team. That marked the third time in the program’s history that the Irish had two players selected All-American in the same year. The previous times came in 1972-73 when Eddie Bumbacco ‘74 and Bill Nyrop ‘74 were chosen and again in 1976-77 when Jack Brownschidle ‘77 and Brian Walsh ‘77 were honored. BEST OF THE BEST – Over the past three seasons, the Notre Dame hockey program is tops in the nation. Since the start of the 2006-07 campaign, the Irish have won 90 games and own a .742 winning percentage over those three years. Notre Dame leads Michigan (88) in wins and winning percentage (.724). Here are the top five teams by wins and winning percentage since 2006-07. WINS Notre Dame 90 Michigan 88 Miami 80 North Dakota 76 Boston University 74

WINNING .PCT Notre Dame (.742) Michigan (.724) Miami (.680) Boston University (.665) New Hampshire (.661)

CAPTAINS – Senior left wing Ryan Thang (Edina, Minn.) will serve as Notre Dame’s captain for the 2009-10 season. Joining Thang as alternate captains in ‘09-’10, are senior defenseman Kyle Lawson (New Hudson, Mich.), senior center Kevin Deeth (Gig Harbor, Wash.) and junior defenseman Teddy Ruth (Naperville, Ill.). Thang and Lawson served as alternate captains in 2008-09, while this is the first season as captain for Deeth and Ruth. CLUTCH SCORER – During his first three seasons at Notre Dame, senior left wing Ryan Thang (Edina, Minn.) has proven to be a clutch player. In those three seasons, Thang has amassed 13 game-winning goals, getting six in 2006-07, five in 2007-08 and two last season. He is currently tied for the top spot with 13 game-winning goals. That ties him with Rob Globke ‘04, Brian Urick ‘99 and Dave Poulin ‘82, with all three having 13 game winners.

Scotty Bowman poses with the Notre Dame hockey team following the ﬁrst annual “Drop The Puck” Dinner held at the Joyce Center on Sept. 6, 2005. DROP THE PUCK – For the fifth year in a row, Notre Dame hockey opened its season with the annual “Drop The Puck Reception” at the Joyce Center for season ticket holders and fans. This year’s event was held on Oct. 6 and featured Garth Snow, the general manager of the New York Islanders. A goaltender with the Islanders from 2001-06, Snow was on Long Island when Jeff Jackson was an assistant coach there. Snow joins Brian Burke, who was the executive vice-president and general manager of the Anaheim Ducks at the time and the G.M. of the 2010 U.S. Olympic hockey team in 2008, Detroit Red Wings’ player and current team vice-president Steve Yzerman (2007), Chicago Black Hawk and Versus/NBC TV analyst Ed Olczyk (2006) and Hall of Fame coach Scotty Bowman, who handled the honors at the first Drop The Puck reception on Sept. 6, 2005 with over 400 fans in attendance. Bowman, who won nine Stanley Cups in his illustrious coaching career, also was invited by Notre Dame head football coach Charlie Weis to address his team at practice that day, just four days prior to the upset win at Michigan. FAMILY GUYS – Three members of the Notre Dame hockey team – junior goaltender Brad Phillips (Farmington Hills, Mich.) and freshmen forwards Kevin Nugent (New Canaan, Conn.) and Riley Sheahan (St. Catharine’s, Ont.) – have family ties to the Irish athletics program. Phillips’ uncle is former Irish quarterback Terry Andrysiak ‘89, who played at Notre Dame from 1985 to 1988. 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.

FULL HOUSE – Notre Dame hockey games were a tough ticket during the 2008-09 season as the Irish had 13 sellouts in 18 home dates and averaged 2,702 fans per game. A sellout at the Joyce Center is 2,713 with 2,857 capacity with standing room. On Jan. 30 versus Michigan, 3,007 fans jammed into the Joyce Center, the largest crowd since March of 1995 when 3,310 saw Notre Dame play Illinois-Chicago.

The Irish then reached the top spot one time in each poll the rest of the season - the week of Feb. 23 in the USA Today poll and the week of March 16 in the USCHO.com rankings. Previously, Notre Dame reached number one in the nation status during the 2006-07 season. The Irish moved into the top spot in both polls on Feb. 5, 2007 and remained there for seven consecutive weeks

2009-10 HOCKEY

New Home For The Irish Notre Dame Set to Break Ground on New On-Campus Arena Groundbreaking set for spring of 2010 with plans to open for the 2011-12 campaign Over the past four years, a great number of things have happened to the University of Notre Dame hockey team. There have been two CCHA regular-season championships (2007 and 2009), a pair of CCHA Tournament titles (‘07 and ‘09), number one rankings and three trips to the NCAA Tournament. One of the best things to happen over that period came off the ice and occurred on Feb. 12, 2009 when the University announced that a new, free-standing, on-campus arena would be built with the anticipated opening set for the 2011-12 season. The announcement on the building was made by Notre Dame executive vice-president John Affleck-Graves and athletics director Jack Swarbrick. Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2010 on the projected 5,000-seat arena - with the venue ready for play to start the 2011-12 season. The announcement came after the University’s Board of Trustees approved the plan during campus meetings the previous week. "We're thrilled about the plans for a new ice arena on our campus, particularly based on the superb job Jeff Jackson and our hockey team have done to position our program as one of the best in the nation," said Swarbrick. "In addition to providing a first-rate home for our hockey team, this new facility will be made available whenever possible to our community as a whole, and, in particular, to the many area youth hockey and figure skating programs that are in need of an additional venue," Affleck-Graves said. "This is the most important and missing piece of the puzzle to this hockey program. The new building will create an environment that our fans,

An aerial view of the artist’s conception of the new hockey home of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish - located south of Notre Dame Stadium and the Joyce Center. The yet-to-be named building is just north of Edison Road and just west of the new track and field facility on the Notre Dame campus. The arena will house the Charles “Lefty” Smith, Jr., Rink and seat 5,000 fans. A second rink will include an Olympic-size sheet of ice with both rinks meant to meet the needs the University and the local community. Groundbreaking is set for the spring of 2010.

the students, the players, and our hockey alumni can be proud of," said Irish coach Jeff Jackson. "There are so many individuals -- players, coaches and others - over the history of Notre Dame hockey who have helped lay the foundation for this decision. This building also is going to be very much about the legacy our players have built, starting with my first year here - T. J. Jindra, Mark Van Guilder, Erik Condra and this year's seniors. It's as much about what they did to help elevate the profile of this program as anything else. They all

should be extremely proud of what they have accomplished over the last four years." The new ice arena will be located south of the Joyce Center, just north of Edison Road, and just west of the new Irish track and field facility. The majority of the general public arena seating will be of the chair-back variety. The facility will include two sheets of ice (one of them Olympic-sized), with limited seating availability for the second sheet. The plan also will include offices and locker room and weight and cardio training facilities for the Notre Dame hockey program. Locker rooms also will be available for campus and community use of the facility. The new ice arena will replace the Joyce Center fieldhouse as Notre Dame's home for ice hockey. The Joyce Center was dedicated in December 1968 as the Athletic and Convocation Center. It was renamed in 1987 in honor of Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, C.S.C., Notre Dame's executive vice president and chair of the Faculty Board on Athletics from 1952 to 1987. The current Joyce Center facility has bench seating for 2,713. During the 2009-10 season, the Irish drew a standing room only-crowd of 3,007

for a game Jan. 30 against seventh-rated Michigan, marking the largest home attendance figure since March 1995. For the year, Notre Dame recorded 13 sellouts in 18 home dates and averaged 2,702 per game, the best in program history since seating was reconfigured at the Joyce Center. A lead gift of $15 million from an anonymous donor in September of 2007 moved the construction of a permanent ice arena in the Joyce Center to the drawing board. Additional studies changed that plan to instead feature a new building. Once the new facility is completed, the current ice rink at the Joyce Center will be removed, making that north dome space available for a variety of other events. The University is actively seeking additional contributions, and fundraising is continuing. To date, many former hockey players and former student managers have already directed gifts to the building fund for the new facility, including four leadership level pledges. The university worked with Opus North since last February of 2009 to develop the conceptual design for the facility and the project’s timeline. In September, the RFP for final design development and the actual construction of the arena was released to six design-build firms, including Opus North. The successful bid will be awarded in November of 2009, allowing construction to begin in the spring of 2010.

The architects plan for the Notre Dame locker room suite are impressive. Located on the north side of the building, the suite is a self-contained area that includes, locker rooms, meeting rooms, a training area, weight room, players’ lounge, equipment rooms and storage, a laundry area, video operations area and a multi-purpose room for weekly team Masses and recruiting purposes.

Lefty’s Legend To Continue In 2003, former Notre Dame hockey coach Charles “Lefty” Smith received the “Legend of Hockey Award” from the Hobey Baker Memorial Award Foundation and was honored at the annual Hobey Baker Awards Banquet that spring in his native Minnesota. Long before that honor recognized Smith nationally, the popular Notre Dame icon had established his legendary status in the South Bend-Michiana area as a hockey coach, administrator, mentor and citizen during his 40-plus years of service to the University. His status in the community was set in stone in April of 2008 at the hockey team’s annual awards banquet when it was announced that the new hockey rink at the University of Notre Dame’s new ice arena will be named the Charles W. “Lefty” Smith, Jr., Rink. The plans for naming the new ice surface in honor of Smith were made possible by the generosity of the John and Mary Jo Boler family of Inverness, Ill., and Sanibel Island, Fla., their daughter Jill Boler McCormack ‘84 and her husband, Dan; and their son Matthew Boler ‘88 and his wife, Christine. They were joined by the family of Frank ‘57 and Mary Beth O’Brien of Albany, N.Y., who have six children who all graduated from Notre Dame. Their late son, Frankie, played both lacrosse and hockey for the Irish Charles “Lefty” Smith addresses the from 1984-88. Smith came to Notre Dame in 1968 to start the varsity crowd following the announcement that Notre Dame’s new hockey rink hockey program and coached the Irish for 19 years, retiring within the new ice arena would be in 1987 with 307 career victories. Under his tutelage, Notre named after him. Dame produced six All-Americans but most importantly, all 126 student-athletes who played for him completed their collegiate eligibility and earned college degrees. Smith, who continues to work as the director of the Loftus Sports Center on campus, served two years as the president of the American Hockey Coaches Association. He was inducted into the Minnesota Hockey Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1992. He played an integral in bringing the International Special Olympics to Notre Dame in 1987. Married for 57 years, Lefty and his wife, Mickey, are parents of seven living children, with 16 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Sophomore Billy Maday had an outstanding rookie season, getting 16 goals with 14 assists for 30 points to collect CCHA all-rookie team honors.

“Christiaan Minella took a big step last year and he has the potential to be a factor in our attack. When he plays with that power forward mentality he’s tough on the walls and hard to control in the offensive zone,” explained Jackson. Three juniors have played integral roles during their first two seasons wearing the interlocking ND. Leading the trio is left wing Calle Ridderwall (Stockholm, Sweden) who became an offensive force in the Irish lineup a year ago. The 6-0, 188-pounder finished second in scoring with a team-high 17 goals and 15 assists for 32 points. An honorable mention all-CCHA selection, Ridderwall led the team with 11 power-play goals and tied for the team lead with five game winners. His power-play totals tied him for second in the CCHA and fifth in the nation. Center Ben Ryan (Brighton, Mich.) proved to be “Mr. Consistent,” on the Notre Dame attack as he scored 12 goals with 15 assists for 27 points. Ryan is one of the top two-way centers in the CCHA and is equally adept in the offensive or defensive zone. Three of his goals came on the power play and he was tied with Ridderwall with five game-winning goals. The 5-11, 192-pounder comes to play every night and was a key player down the stretch for Notre Dame in 2008-09. He scored the game-winning goals in each of the team’s wins at Joe Louis Arena to capture Notre Dame’s second CCHA championship. Ryan Guentzel (Woodbury, Minn.) rounds out the trio and has proven to be a strong, two-way player with a knack for coming up with key goals at key times. A hard-working grinder, the 6-0, 180-pound Guentzel is one of the key players on the fourth line for the Irish who played a key role in giving the team a balanced scoring attack from a year ago. He had career highs in goals (4), assists (7) and points (11) while playing in all 40 games. Calle (Ridderwall) had a break out year last year and really became a factor for us,” said Jackson. “He’s fun to watch; he’s always around the puck and he makes things happen. Teams know about him now

Coaching Staff

Irish hockey is in the capable hands of Jeff Jackson and his staff with Paul Pooley, Andy Slaggert and Mike McNeill. Now in Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth season, Notre Dame is 103-48-14 (.667) with two CCHA regular-season and postseason championships.

Head Coach

Jeff Jackson

When Notre Dame went looking for a new hockey coach following the 2004-05 season, 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 four 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 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 2007-08. Over the past three seasons, Jackson’s icers are the winningest team in the nation in wins and winning percentage, going 90-29-10 (.742) since the start of the 2006-07 campaign. With win totals of 32, 27 and 31 from ‘06-’09, Notre Dame teams have put together three consecutive seasons of 25-or more wins and made three consecutive NCAA tournament appearances for the first time. After advancing to the national championship game in ‘07-’08, the Irish started slowly in 2008-09 and went into Halloween with a 2-3-0 record. It would be almost three months before Notre Dame would lose again as the Irish 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 and ended the regular season and the CCHA tournament on a 10-game winning streak. The Irish finished first in the conference with a 214-3-3 record, eight points ahead of second place Miami and Michigan.

Jeff Jackson is the fourth head coach in the 42-year modern history of the Notre Dame hockey program. In 10 seasons as a Division I head coach, Jackson owns a 285-10039 career record and his .718 winning percentage is the best among active coaches.

The Irish 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 then knocked off Northern Michigan, 2-1, in the semifinals and then 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 players selected All-American as defenseman Ian Cole took first team honors and Erik Condra, second team honors. In just four seasons guiding the Irish, Jackson has seen the program go from five wins to 13 victories in his first season, to 90 wins over the last three years. For his tenure behind the Notre Dame bench, Jackson is 103-48-14 for a .667 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 to become the first fourth-seeded team to advance to the Frozen Four. At the Frozen Four, Jackson’s squad upset No. 1ranked 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 Notre Dame’s first-ever CCHA regular-season and tournament championships. 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. 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 54-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 1113-4 – 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 four 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. Over the past three 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 2009-10 season with a nineyear collegiate record of 285-100-39 for a .718 winning percentage, the best percentage among all Division I coaches with five years or more in Division I. His 285 career wins ranks 12th 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

In four seasons at Notre Dame, Jeff Jackson has guided the Irish to a 103-48-14 overall record. In that span, Notre Dame has won two CCHA regular-season and tournament title (2007 and 2009), made three NCAA appearances and advanced to the Frozen Four (2008), playing for the national championship game. 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 23 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 208-4 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

Head Coach season and finished third in the CCHA with a 20-55 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 thirdperiod 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. During his six years guiding the Lakers, Jackson produced 12 All-Americans (five first team and seven second team) and one Academic All-American. 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 200304, 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.

Jeff Jackson poses with the 1992 NCAA Championship Trophy along with members of his national champion Lake Superior State Lakers. Jackson took Lake Superior to three consecutive NCAA title games, winning the title again in 1994.

“If anyone can get it done here at Notre Dame, it’s Jeff Jackson.” – Scotty Bowman The NHL’s winningest coach and nine-time Stanley Cup winner at the Notre Dame’s “Drop The Puck” Dinner on Sept. 6, 2005. “Coach Jackson demands a lot from his players. He will get the most out of you. He’s a very honest guy who will be a good fit at Notre Dame. When I made my decision to go to Notre Dame, I had narrowed my choices to Notre Dame, Harvard and Lake State. The main reason I wanted to go to Lake State was because of Coach Jackson. I think it speaks volumes about his character because he was honest with me and fully supported my decision to go to Notre Dame because it was the best combination of academics and athletics for me. When he picked me for the junior national team, he could’ve picked a lot more talented players over me, but he had a vision and a plan. He said, ‘Here’s the role I want you to play, do you accept that.’ We won the silver medal. He took a third or fourth line guy and made me better. He’ll make you work real hard, but when you see the success, you enjoy it.” – Ben Simon former Notre Dame hockey player who played for Jackson on the 1997 U.S. Junior National Team “Jeff will be an awesome fit for Notre Dame. He understands the game and is such a student of the game. He’s got the total team concept and develops players around the team concept. His teaching ability is what separates him from other coaches. It’s a great situation for him and for Notre Dame.” – Paul Pooley former Providence College head coach who was an assistant with Jackson at Lake Superior from 1992-94 and is now the associate head coach with the Irish. “Jeff Jackson is undoubtedly the best coach and more importantly the best person that I have ever worked with. He goes out of his way to get involved with his players in all aspects of their lives. It’s not all about winning hockey games. He focuses on the entire picture and works for balance. If things are going well off the ice, then they usually go well on the ice. As a coach he is detail-oriented and very disciplined. He is excellent in preparing for an opponent, but he also makes his opponent prepare for his teams. He is one of the most respected people in the coaching profession on the college, pro and international levels, all the way down to the junior and youth hockey levels. He’s a great fit for Notre Dame.” – Scott Monoghan Director of Operations with USA Hockey National Team Development Program. “Jeff Jackson is a great coach with lots of experience. He’s won two national championships at Lake Superior State. He’s a great recruiter and a well-respected hockey mind. He’ll represent Notre Dame well.” – Ian MaCaw Athletics Director at Baylor (former Athletics Director at Massachusetts and Northeastern and member of the NCAA Hockey Hockey Committee). “Coach Jackson knows more about the game of hockey than any other coach that I’ve ever played for. His knowledge of the game is second to none. He knows what it takes to win at the collegiate level. He’s definitely a great teacher and knows what each player needs to do to get better. Hockey is his life. This is a great step for the program at Notre Dame.” – Brett Lebda A 2004 Notre Dame graduate who came through the U.S. program with Jeff Jackson as coach.

Associate Head Coach

Paul Pooley

Associate Head Coach Fifth Season Ohio State ‘84

Paul Pooley returns for his fifth 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 four 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 three Notre Dame teams go a combined 9029-10, 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. The 90 wins are the most of any Division I program over the threeyear period. 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 last season, 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). At Notre Dame, he was instrumental in a pair of defensemen - Noah Babin (Carolina) and Wes O’Neill (Colorado) signing NHL contracts following the 2006-07 season while 2008 grad, Brock Sheahan is currently in the ECHL with Cincinnati.

In addition to this interaction with the faculty, the members of the Academic Services Office meet with student-athletes to develop a personal relationship. These sessions help develop semester-long and career academic goals. Discussions may include such topics as summerschool attendance, class scheduling and career possibilities. In 2001, the Academic-Services department received a new home through a generous donation by football alumnus Jim Morse (’57) and his wife, Leah Rae, when the ColemanMorse Center was completed.

Season in Review

Defenseman Kyle Lawson was a second team all-CCHA selection in 2008-09 and was the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top defensive defenseman. The Irish led the nation in team defense giving up just 1.73 goals-per-game last season.

Season in Review Irish Continue Three-Year Run as One of Nation’s Top Teams Notre Dame captures second CCHA regular-season and postseason titles in last three seasons For the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the 2008-09 hockey season started with some great expectations. After all, the Irish had advanced all the way to the 2008 NCAA title game the year before and returned most of that team for another run at a title. While the expectations of another Frozen Four run came up a little short, the ‘08-’09 campaign will be remembered for its record winning streaks, a No. 1 ranking for seven weeks and a second CCHA regularseason and postseason championship. Along the way, Notre Dame cemented its place among the top programs in the nation over the past three seasons. The Irish own a record of 90-28-14 for a .742 winning percentage in that span with the 90 wins and the winning percentage the top marks in the nation since the start of the 2006-07 campaign. The ‘08-’09 season got off to a slow start for the Irish as they opened the year with a 5-2 loss to Denver in the College Hockey Hall of Fame game and a pair of home losses to Miami sandwiched around home wins against Sacred Heart. After the first five games, Notre Dame’s record stood at 2-3-0 with a road trip to Northern Michigan standing in front of the Irish. A sweep in the Upper Peninsula was just what the doctor ordered as 3-2 and 4-2 wins over the Wildcats on Oct. 31-Nov. 1 got the Irish rolling on the way to a 20-game (17-0-3) unbeaten streak. The next time that Notre Dame would suffer a loss would come on Jan. 30 after the Irish had taken over the top spot in the nation and in the CCHA. Jeff Jackson’s squad would finish the season with a 31-6-3 overall record while winning the CCHA’s regular-season championship with a 21-4-3-3 record in the conference, good for 48 points. On December 1st, the Irish moved to No. 1 in the nation and remained there until Feb. 2 following the weekend split with Michigan. While the 20-game unbeaten streak was the major streak of the 2008-09 season for the Irish, there were several other record setting streaks for Notre Dame during the season. After dropping the season-opener at Denver on Oct. 11, the Irish would not lose on the road again until Feb. 6 at Ohio State, a school-record span of nine straight road wins from Oct. 31 to Jan. 16. That morphed into a record 12-game unbeaten streak (11-0-1) from Oct. 31 to Feb. 6. That successful run helped Notre Dame record its best-ever road season, winning a school-best 13 games on the way to a 13-3-2 road record. From Oct. 31 to Jan. 17, Notre Dame would reel off a 16-game CCHA unbeaten streak (13-0-3), the longest in the program’s history. That 16-game streak tied for the seventh-longest conference unbeaten streak in NCAA history and was the third longest in conference history. Following the Feb. 8 loss at Ohio State, Notre Dame closed out the season with a 10-game winning streak (six regular-season wins and four playoff victories) that carried through the CCHA playoffs to the CCHA championship before the season ended with the loss to Bemidji State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The 31-win season was the second-best in the program’s history, while the 21 conference wins tied the

best mark, set in 2006-07 when Notre Dame also won the CCHA regular-season and postseason championships. A 31-win season leads to some impressive statistics and the Irish didn’t disappoint either offensively or defensively. Led by senior goaltender Jordan Pearce’s nation-leading eight shutouts and a rock-solid group of blueliners, Notre Dame surrendered just 69 goals in 40 games for a 1.73 goals-pergame mark. Irish penalty killers ranked third overall, giving up just 20 man-advantage goals in 190 chances for an 89.5% penalty-killing rate. Offensively, Notre Dame ranked eighth overall with 135 goals for a 3.38 goals-per-game average. The Irish power play clicked on 51-of-226 chances to lead the nation with a 22.6% success rate. The Irish rolled into the CCHA playoffs in first place after finishing the season eight points ahead of Miami and Michigan as the RedHawks and Wolverines tied for second place. After getting a first-round bye, Notre Dame faced Nebraska-Omaha at home in the second round and rode Pearce to a series sweep that saw the Anchorage, Alaska native blank the Mavericks in back-to-back games, 5-0 and 1-0, making 30 saves in each game. Senior Justin White’s goal just 2:34 into the first period of game two was the only goal the Irish would Senior Jordan Pearce was one of the top goaltenders in the nation in 2008-09.

straight season, he was also the CCHA’s scholar-athlete of the year and an ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA first team Academic All-American. Pearce saw action in 39 of the team’s 40 games during the season with only junior Tom O’Brien also seeing action. O’Brien was 1-0-0 with a 1.47 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage, making two starts on the season. In his first career start, O’Brien blanked Sacred Heart, 7-0 to become the first Irish goaltender to record a shutout in his first start. Sophomore Brian Brooke was the team’s third goaltender while sophomore Brad Phillips sat out the season after suffering a knee injury in during the preseason. Notre Dame’s goaltenders had one of the top defensive units in the nation in front of them. Led by juniors Kyle Lawson and Brett Blatchford, the top six also was anchored by sophomores Ian Cole and Teddy Ruth, senior Luke Lucyk and freshman Sean Lorenz. Lawson, a second team all-CCHA selection and the conference’s top defensive defenseman in 2009 was +14 on the year while scoring four goals with 19 assists for 23 points with three of his goals coming on the power play. He was the winner of the team’s William Donald Nyrop Award as the top defenseman. Blatchford was one of the quarterbacks of the power play as he racked up 25 assists on the year with no goals. Defensively, he was third among defensemen with a +12. Cole blossomed during his sophomore season to become one of the nation’s top defenders, picking up first team all-CCHA and first team All-American honors. He led Irish defenders in scoring with six goals and 20 assists for 26 points and led Notre Dame with a +15. Ruth dominated the Irish blueline in his role as a shut-down defender. Tough and physical, the sophomore was a force in his own zone all season long. In 40 games, he had two goals and five assists for seven points and was +7 for the year. Lucyk teamed with Lorenz most of the season to provide a solid defensive duo. Lucyk collected two assists in 38 games and was +10 for the year while Lorenz played in all 40 games with three assists and a +7 mark. Balance was the name of the game for the Notre Dame attack. Six players had 10 or more goals with two others notching nine lamplighters on the year. Nine players checked in with 20 or more points and 15 had 15 or more. Leading the team in scoring was senior Erik Condra who had 13 goals and 25 assists for 38 points, including five power-play goals, two short-handed tallies and two game winners. He was a second team all-CCHA pick, a second team All-American and a second team Academic All-American in his final year. The top goal scorer was sophomore Calle Ridderwall, who led the way with 17 goals, including 11 power-play markers. The Swedish left wing added 15 assists to finish second on the squad with 32 points. Five of his goals were game winners. Ridderwall was an honorable mention all-CCHA selection. Senior Christian Hanson trailed Ridderwall by a point overall as he turned in a career season with 16 goals and 15 assists for 31 points. The big center iceman chipped in six power-play goals, one shorty and five game winners on the way to second team allCCHA honors. Junior center Kevin Deeth tied Hanson for third in team scoring and led the Irish with 27 assists. The speedy playmaker scored four goals on the year and had 31 points. Freshman right wing Billy Maday burst on the scene with a 30-point season, scoring 16 goals with 14 assists.

Eleven of those goals came on the power play, tying him for second in the CCHA and fifth in the nation in that category. With 15 assists, he was second on the team with 32 points. Seven of his goals came on the power play and he was a CCHA all-rookie team selection. Sophomore center Ben Ryan picked up where he finished as a freshman and proved to be one of Notre Dame’s clutch players down the stretch, picking up two of his five game winners in back-to-back games in the CCHA tournament. Ryan checked in with 27 points on 12 goals and 15 assists. Junior left wing Ryan Thang battled injuries in the middle of the season but still scored 10 goals, including four power-play goals, and nine assists for 19 points. Senior Garrett Regan provided steady play all season and scored seven goals with 11 assists for 18 points. His +12 for the year was tops among Irish forwards. Junior linemate Christiaan Minella had the best year of his career, scoring nine times with seven assists for 16 points. A punishing forward who dished out his share of hits, Minella teamed with Regan and Hanson to give the Irish a formidable line that combined size and speed. Junior Dan Kissel, senior Justin White and sophomore Ryan Guentzel manned a checking line for the Irish that combined for 19 goals and 24 assists for 43 points overall. The speedy Kissel had six goals and 11 assists for 17 points with two power-play goals and two game winners. White centered the line and had a career-high nine goals and six assists for 15 points and chipped in a pair of game winners. Guentzel had four goals and seven assists on his way to an 11-point campaign. Strong goaltending, a stingy defense and a balanced offensive attack were the backbone of Notre Dame’s successful 2008-09 season. Ninety wins over a three-year span is something any program can hang its hat on. But the Irish will tell you that there is one more hill to climb and that’s grabbing that elusive national championship. The foundation has been poured. The Irish will now look to cement what they consider the true ‘gold standard’ in 2009-10.

East Lansing, Mich. – Notre Dame's senior hockey class accomplished many things over four years wearing the Irish uniform ... there are two CCHA regular season titles, a CCHA postseason championship and the school's first ever trip to the Frozen Four in 2008 ... despite the successes, there was one thing that the class of 2009 had never done - win at Michigan State's Munn Arena - a place where the Irish were 0-6-1 since the last win there on Feb. 9, 2002 ... after the final regular-season game of the 2008-09 season, that can be crossed off the "to-do list” and added to the long list of accomplishments as Notre Dame ran its winning streak to six games with a 2-1 win over Michigan State in front of a sellout crowd of 6,759 at Munn Arena ... the win gave the Irish three straight victories versus the Spartans, something that hadn’t happened since 1978-79 ... Erik Condra and Christian Hanson handled the goal scoring while Jordan Pearce stopped 19 of 20 shots he faced for the win in goal ...

GAME 39 March 21, 2009 Notre Dame 5 • Michigan 2 CCHA Championship Detroit, Mich. – For the second time in the last three seasons, the Notre Dame hockey team was crowned CCHA playoff champions as the Irish rallied from a twogoal deficit to hand Michigan a 5-2 loss in the CCHA title game at Joe Louis Arena ... Notre Dame’s rally included four, third-period goals as Calle Ridderwall led the way with two markers and Billy Maday, Ben Ryan and Christiaan Minella getting one each ...

Pearce took care of the rest, finishing with 28 saves while Hogan had 29 in the Michigan goal ... Notre Dame placed four players on the CCHA all-tournament team - defenseman Ian Cole, forwards Calle Ridderwall and Ben Ryan and goaltender Jordan Pearce while Michigan defenseman Steve Kampfer and forward Louie Caporusso were selected ...

National prominence and national dominance are what separates the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) from the rest of college hockey. CCHA teams have won eight NCAA championships over the last 26 years, including a win 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 19 times in those same 25 seasons, with Michigan (8) and Michigan State (7) leading the way. For the second year in a row, a CCHA team advanced to the Frozen Four with Miami doing the honors in 2009, falling to Boston University in overtime in the title game. The previous year, 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 Following the 2008-09 campaign, Notre Dame, Michigan, Miami and Ohio State all advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The Irish and Wolverines were number one seeds in their respective regionals. 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.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®

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 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. Prior to the start of the 2001-02 season, the CCHA adopted a new scheduling format that would include placing the league’s members in “rivalry pairings.” Under the “rivalry pairing” format, the league’s teams are grouped into six “rivalry pairings.” The pairings include: Alaska Fairbanks and NebraskaOmaha; Bowling Green-Notre Dame; Ferris StateWestern Michigan; Lake Superior State-Northern Michigan; Miami-Ohio State and Michigan-Michigan State. The six groups will then be placed into three clusters of four teams. A team will play the three teams in its cluster four times each season (two home, two away). They will then face the remaining eight teams in the league twice with four series at home and four on the road. The four-team clusters change each season. During the 2005-06 season, a new playoff format was introduced that includes two rounds of best-ofthree series. In the first round, the top four teams get a bye while the remaining eight teams will play based on regular season finish (12 vs. 5, 11 vs. 6, 10 vs. 7 and 9 vs. 8) with the higher seeds hosting. In the second round, the top four seeds will host the four first round winners in a best-of-three 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 of the last 26 NCAA Championships: Bowling Green (1984), Michigan State (’86, ’07), Lake Superior (’88, ’92, ’94), Northern Michigan (’91, ’92) and Michigan (’96, ’98).

• The CCHA has sent 10 different teams to the NCAA Tournament since 1990: Bowling Green, Lake Superior, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Northern Michigan, Ohio State and Western Michigan. Notre Dame joined the list in 2004 when the Irish advanced for the first time and Nebraska-Omaha made its first appearance in 2006.

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.

Coaches and Management • Michigan State’s Ron Mason closed his brilliant coaching career in 2001-02 as college hockey’s alltime winningest coach with 924 victories before moving into his role as the Spartans athletic director. His win total was compiled entirely at CCHA schools (also Lake Superior and Bowling Green). • Two other CCHA coaches - Michigan State’s Rick Comley and Michigan’s Red Berenson — rank third and fourth among active coaches in wins. Comley goes into 2009-10 with 749 career wins between Lake Superior, Northern Michigan and Michigan State. Berenson checks in with 673 wins in his 24 seasons at Michigan. • CCHA coaches have won two of the last three Spencer Penrose Awards as the national coach of the year. Michigan’s Red Berenson took the honor in 2008 while Notre Dame’s Jeff Jackson was the 2007 winner. They are the sixth and seventh CCHA coaches to win the award since the conference started in 1971-72. • More than 75 alumni of CCHA teams have gone on to careers in coaching or management in junior, collegiate or professional hockey. • Two current NHL general managers are former CCHA players: Washington’s George McPhee (Bowling Green ’82) and Atlanta’s Don Waddell (Northern Michigan ’80).

NHL Players • Seventy-five CCHA players played in the NHL during the 2008-09 season. That’s the most since 70 former players during the 2007-08 campaign.

Stanley Cup Winners • Thirty former CCHA players have hoisted the Stanley Cup as NHL champs. The 2009 Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins featured two former CCHA players – defenseman Mark Eaton (Notre Dame) and forward Chris Kunitz (Ferris State). Among the previous players to win the Stanley Cup are: Brett Lebda (Notre Dame) and Justin Abdelkader (Michigan State) from Detroit’s 2008 team; Kunitz (Ferris State) and Drew Miller (Michigan State) from Anaheim’s 2007 team; Rod Bind’Amour (Michigan State), Doug Weight (Lake Superior), Aaron Ward (Michigan) and Kevyn Adams (Miami) from Carolina (2006); Dan Boyle (Miami) and goaltender John Grahame (Lake Superior) with Tampa Bay in 2004; John Madden (Michigan) twice with New Jersey (2000, 2003) and Bowling Green alums Rob Blake and Greg DeVries who won it with Colorado in 2001.

Joyce Center Notre Dame’s Joyce Center, which celebrates its 43rd year of service to the University in 2009-10, 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 Center. Designed by Ellerbe Architects of St. Paul, Minn., the Joyce Center was conceived at the outset as a combination athletic-civic center, with $1.8 million alone contributed by persons in the Michiana area. The Center’s distinctive domes, covered with a white vinyl roofing material stretched over steel ribbing, rise just east of Notre Dame’s football stadium. The building is both wider and longer than the famous stadium and encloses more area than Houston’s Astrodome. In all, the $8.6-million structure covers 10 acres of ground. Campus officials draw the comparison with Stepan Center, a student activities building which once held the campus seating record of 3,800, by pointing out that Stepan can be placed within the circumference of the north domae’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 that make the Joyce Center one of the finest facilities in collegiate hockey. Renovations to coaches offices and the locker rooms along with the addition of a dividing curtain have given the hockey rink and the Irish more of a “home-ice advantage.” 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.

The Joyce Center has been the home of Notre Dame hockey for the 41-year “modern era” of the program. City officials are equally fond of the figure of 464,800 square feet of usable floor area, a statistic which makes the Joyce Center the largest exhibition hall between Detroit and Chicago. During the spring of 2009, the south arena’s design began a $26.3 million renovation that will 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 will include 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 will reduce 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,

The student section at the Joyce Center can make life miserable for opposing teams. Notre Dame students helped the Irish to 13 sellout crowds during the 2008-09 season, including standing-room only crowds over the last nine home games of the season. Over the last three successful campaigns, the Irish are 37-9-7 at home.

Joyce Center as is a tastefully appointed Monogram Room and the Sports Heritage Hall, surrounded by small meeting rooms. On the lower level of the concourse, there are several thousand lockers, a faculty exercise room, a golf driving range, squash, racquetball and handball court s and 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 alltime home record now stands at 352-278-54 (.554) in 41 seasons on the Joyce Center ice. During the 2008-09 season, Notre Dame was 133-2 on home ice for a .778 winning percentage. Over the past three seasons under Jeff Jackson, the Irish are a nifty 37-9-7 for a .736 win percentage at the Joyce Center. That mark is highlighted by a 13-2-2 record (.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 second-best win total (surpassed only by the 18 wins the 1987-88 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, 53, at the Joyce Center. During the 2003-04 season, Notre Dame hosted their first home playoff series since 1999-2000, defeating 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 then, the Irish have hosted CCHA playoff action every year, including three consecutive second round series. Notre Dame owns a 6-1 record in winning those thee second round appearances and has advanced to the CCHA championship in each of those seasons. The Irish have enjoyed three of their best seasons attendance-wise over the last three seasons. In ‘06’07, they played in front of 11 sellout crowds (2,763), including the final eight of the season and in 10 of the final 11. 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. Since the new seating configuration for the 199596 season, the Irish have hosted 94 sellout crowds for hockey at the Joyce Center.

Notre Dame owns a 352-278-54 record in 41 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, game-winning 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

The Gold Standard Sets New Standards Now in its 42nd year of Division I play, Notre Dame is the nation’s winningest program since the 2006-07 season. 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, to the first-ever trip to the NCAA’s Frozen Four in 2008, the Notre Dame hockey program has experienced a little bit of everything in its on-again, off-again 98-year history. While most followers of Notre Dame’s 42-year hockey history know the story since the program received Division I status in 1968, there are several earlier chapters that were building blocks to building 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 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 a full varsity sport.

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 145-3 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

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.

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. 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 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 topranked Wisconsin. The team’s 19-9-0 conference record was good for a second-place finish in 197273. 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.

Irish Hockey History 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. 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 AllAmerican. The following season produced another milestone as the Irish beat Ferris State in the first round of the CCHA playoffs and made their

ever NCAA tournament on the strength of a 5-11 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 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 All-American 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 regular-season 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. 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.

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 199900 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. 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-

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. 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 regular-season 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 Ian Cole (Ann Arbor, Mich.) selected to the all-tournament 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. Over the last three seasons behind the Notre Dame bench, Jackson saw his teams record a 90-

28-10 record for a .742 winning percentage with the win total and winning percentage being the best in the nation in that span. Recognition for Notre Dame hockey though has continued to grow. In the first 42 years of the program, NHL teams have drafted 57 Irish players, including five in the 2007 Entry Draft. In that draft, Notre Dame saw its first-ever first round selection, as defenseman Ian Cole (Ann Arbor, Mich.) was selected with the 18th pick overall by the St. Louis Blues. That was followed in 2009 as forward Kyle Palmieri (Montvale, N.J.) was a first round choice of the Anaheim Ducks, becoming the second Irish player picked in the first round. The 2008-09 season saw six 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. Three other Irish alums saw their first NHL action in ‘08-’09, including Tim Wallace (Pittsburgh), Wes O’Neill (Colorado) and Christian Hanson (Toronto). Notre Dame’s most familiar NHL alumni include Poulin, whose 13-year career included three trips to the Stanley Cup finals and three allstar 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 23 of their players come from the program, including eight on the 2009-10 roster alone.

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 team-high ninth power-play goal of the year on a redirection past Briggs for Gill’s 17th of the year. The Gophers got their offense going in the second period just 26 seconds in when Koalska cut the lead in half to open the middle stanza. The powerful Gopher offense would even the score at 9:13 when Irmen steered a bouncing puck past Morgan Cey for a power-play tally to make it 2-2. Vanek put the Gophers ahead to stay 3-2 at 16:24 when he poked a loose puck past Cey for his first goal of the game. The talented Vanek would seal the win at 11:52 when he raced down the right side and tried to stuff a shot past Cey on the short side. The rebound came right back to him and he continued behind the net for a wrap-around-goal for the 4-2 lead. Riddle closed out the scoring for Minnesota with an empty-net goal at 19:24 to close out the season for Notre Dame. On the night, Cey equaled a season-high with 40 saves. Briggs made 20 saves in the Minnesota goal.

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.

Ryan Thang (#9 in white) gives Notre Dame its first NCAA Tournament win with his game-winning goal at 15:18 of the second overtime versus Alabama-Huntsville on March 23, 2007.

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-on4 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. GAME SUMMARY #12 Notre Dame #4 New Hampshire

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-onone. 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. GAME SUMMARY #5 Notre Dame #1 Michigan

Both teams had chances in a tightly-played first period that led to the fourth scoreless opening frame in NCAA title game history (also 1968, 2001 and 2007). BC ended up with a 7-4 shot advantage in the opening 20 minutes, while Notre Dame went on the power play three times in the period, coming up empty on all three. The Eagles snapped the scoreless tie just 2:23 into the second period, converting an Irish turnover into a goal. Brian Gibbons forced the turnover and found Gerbe inside the left circle where he whipped a shot over Jordan Pearce’s left shoulder for his 34th goal of the year. Gerbe was at it less than three minutes later, this time on a Boston College power play. Ben Smith’s shot from the slot was wide of the goal but rebounded off the back dasherboards into the crease where the Eagles’ top scorer was there to jam the rebound past Pearce for a 2-0 lead at 5:37. BC made it 3-0 at 8:11 of the second period, converting a second power-play chance, this time with a 4-on-3 advantage. Joe Whitney did the honors as he took a feed from Gerbe at the top of the slot and drove a slapshot past Pearce for his 11th goal of the year. The Irish finally broke through 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

April 12, 2008 • Denver, Colo.

March 28, 2009 • Grand Rapids, Mich.

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 2716-4 record.

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.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®

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. The first Bemidji goal would set the tone for the entire game. The Beavers dumped the puck behind the Irish net, where senior goaltender Jordan Pearce came out to play it. The puck took a funny bounce off the back dasher, then caromed off the side of the goal and back into the crease at the right post. As Pearce scrambled to get back in his net, BSU's Chris McKelvie came charging in from the right wing and chopped at the puck, muscling it over the line just 1:42 into the contest. The Beavers would make it 2-0 at 11:03 of the first when Tyler Schofield scored on a power-play deflection of a Brad Hunt shot that found its way between Pearce’s pads. Notre Dame had its chances in the first period, outshooting Bemidji by an 11-7 margin. The lead would go to 3-0 in the second period when Ben Kinne’s shot from the point caromed through a crowd behind Pearce at 13:19. The Irish would start the third period on the power play and would look to get their offense in gear over the final 20 minutes. Those hopes would die just 49 seconds into the third period when Schofield broke up an Irish rush and Matt Read blasted a slapshot from the top of the right circle over Pearce’s blocker to give the Beavers a 4-0 lead. Notre Dame would finally get on the board at 6:02 when Dan Kissel buried a shot past Bemidji goaltender Matt Dalton from the left circle for his sixth goal of the year to cut the lead to 4-1. The Irish would pull Pearce with just under four minutes left in favor of a sixth attacker only to see the Beavers win a big face off before Schofield fired a loose puck into an empty net for the final margin of 5-1. Pearce would finish the game with 14 saves while Dalton made 34 stops in the Bemidji net. GAME SUMMARY Bemidji State #2 Notre Dame

William Donald Nyrop Award Defensive Player of the Year

Junior defenseman Kyle Lawson 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.

UNIVERSITY OF 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 allWCHA 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 AllAmericans 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.

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

Freshman right wing Kyle Palmieri becomes one of 23 former members of the U.S. National Team Developmental Program to play at Notre Dame. The highscoring forward was a first round selection of the Anaheim Ducks in the 2009 Entry Draft. He had 15 goals and 15 assists for 30 points in 33 games for the national program in 2008-09.

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. Twenty-six years later, a total of 22 Irish players have been a part of USA Hockey, with the junior national team or under-18 developmental program. During the 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons, the Irish had two representatives on the U.S. Junior National team. Connor Dunlop ’03, served as captain of the ’00-’01 team and was joined by Rob Globke. The following season, Globke made his second appearance along with defenseman Brett Lebda. In each of the last two seasons, the Irish have had one player on the Junior National squad. In ‘06-’07, defenseman Kyle Lawson served as the team captain while defenseman Ian Cole was selected in consecutive years (‘07-’09) and was joined by teammate Teddy Ruth last year.

Jim Crowley (top photo, second from right) gained fame as the halfback in the “Four Horsemen” backfield of the 1924 Notre Dame football team but Crowley (bottom photo, seated third from right) also was a stellar goaltender for the Notre Dame hockey squads of that era.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®

Career .................. 4 pts. Bob McNamara (1979-82)

Senior Kevin Deeth has Notre Dame’s last hat trick as he scored three times in Notre Dame’s 6-2 win over Robert Morris at Pittsburgh’s Mellon Arena in January of 2007.

Mark Van Guilder picked up two hat tricks during his Notre Dame career. The 2008 graduate had one against top-ranked Boston College during ‘06-’07 and one versus Bowling Green the previous year - 2005-06.

Jim Brown became the first Notre Dame defenseman to record a hat trick, doing so at Michigan as a member of a 1981-82 team that won 23 games and outscored the opposition by 32 goals (199-167).

NCAA COMPLIANCE REGULATIONS

Thank you for your tremendous support of our entire athletics program. Our 800+ student-athletes, our coaches and administrative staff are very appreciative of your spirit and affinity for Notre Dame, in particular intercollegiate athletics. With that, your adherence to all applicable NCAA rules and regulations is essential as we strive to maintain and enhance our national athletic prominence while protecting the University’s tradition of integrity and values. Our Compliance Office staff stands prepared to assist you with your

questions and concerns regarding NCAA regulations. Please contact us immediately should you have concern regarding any situation. Your attention to these matters will ensure that the eligibility of both prospective student-athletes (“recruits”) and enrolled student-athletes is protected and maintained. Again, many thanks for your cooperation in this matter and your ongoing support. Go Fighting Irish! The Compliance Staff

WHO IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF NOTRE DAME’S ATHLETICS INTERESTS?

DOs AND DON’Ts FOR REPRESENTATIVES IN REGARDS TO A CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETE:

(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!) You are, if: • you are an enrolled student or graduate of the University.

(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)

• you have ever participated in or are a member of any organization promoting Notre Dame’s athletics program. (The former Quarterback Club, The 3-Pt. Club, The Fast-Break Club, etc.) • you have ever made financial contributions to the University of Notre Dame athletics department.

DO You may: • contact a current student-athlete regarding employment opportunities; however, no contact may be made without approval from the Compliance Office. • provide a student-athlete, not their family and friends, an occasional (once a semester) meal at your home.

DON’T

• you have ever helped to arrange employment of or provided any benefits to prospective or enrolled student-athletes. • you have ever been a season ticket holder in any sport. • you have ever promoted the athletics programs at the University of Notre Dame. According to NCAA rules, once an individual has been identified as an institutional “representative of athletics interests” the individual retains that title for life. The University of Notre Dame is ultimately responsible for the behavior of all its athletics representatives in relation to NCAA rules and regulations. Violations of NCAA regulations by an athletics representative could result in the loss of eligibility for involved student-athletes (e.g. no participation in competitions) and/ or severe sanctions against the University (e.g. loss of scholarships, television and post-season bans).

CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETE A student-athlete is any Notre Dame student who is a member of a varsity athletics team. NCAA regulations apply to all student-athletes, not just those studentathletes who were recruited or who receive an athletics scholarship. *Note: NCAA regulations concerning enrolled student-athletes remain in effect throughout the entire year (including summer break). If a student-athlete has completed his/her final season of eligibility, all NCAA regulations must be adhered to until he/she graduates or leaves school.

You may not: • provide a currently enrolled student-athlete, their parents or friends any benefit or special arrangement without prior approval from the Compliance Office. • pay for or arrange for payment of room, board or any type of transportation for a student-athlete or their family and friends. • entertain student-athletes or their family and friends. (Exception: NCAA rules do permit institutional staff members and athletics representatives to provide student-athletes (not including their family and friends) with an occasional meal (defined as once a semester) provided the meal is at the staff member’s or athletic representative’s home and not at a restaurant.) • use the name, picture or appearance of an enrolled student-athlete to advertise, recommend or promote sales or use of a commercial product or service of any kind. Any use of a student-athlete’s name, picture or appearance must receive authorization from the Compliance Office. • provide any payment of expense or loan of an automobile for a student-athlete to return home or to any other location. • provide awards or gifts to a student-athlete for any reason. All awards provided to student-athletes must first be approved by the Compliance Office and meet all NCAA regulations. • provide an honorarium to a student-athlete for a speaking engagement. All speaking engagements must be approved in advance by the Compliance Office. • allow a student-athlete, his/her relatives or friends to use your telephone to make free calls.

8/18/09 2:45:29 PM

COMPLIANCE CONTINUED • continue established family relationships with friends and neighbors. Contacts with sons and daughters of these families are permitted so long as they are not made for recruiting purposes or encouraged by Notre Dame coaches.

• provide free or reduced cost lodging in your home to a studentathlete or a student-athlete’s family and friends.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE A prospective student-athlete is any student who has started classes for the ninth grade. Any student younger than ninth grade who receives any benefits from an institution or athletics representative would also become a prospective student-athlete. In addition, student-athletes enrolled in preparatory school or two-year colleges are considered prospective student-athletes. * Note: An individual is considered a prospect (whether or not they have signed a National Letter-of-Intent) until the first day of initial collegiate enrollment or the first day they report for practice, whichever is earliest. Therefore, all NCAA regulations concerning contact with a prospective student-athlete are applicable until that time.

THE DOs AND DON’Ts FOR REPRESENTATIVES IN REGARDS TO A PROSPECTIVE STUDENTATHLETE: (The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)

DO • forward information about prospective student-athletes to the appropriate coaching staff. • have telephone contact with a prospect regarding permissible preenrollment activities such as summer employment, provided the prospect has graduated from high school and signed a National Letter of Intent. • have a telephone conversation with a prospect only if the prospect initiates the call. Such a call may not be prearranged by an institutional staff member and you are not permitted to have a recruiting conversation, but may exhibit normal civility. You must refer any questions about our athletics programs to an athletics department staff member/coach. • view a prospect’s athletic contest at your own initiative provided you do not contact the prospect or his/her parents. In addition, you may not contact a prospect’s coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospect. Jill Bodensteiner, Associate Director of Athletics (574) 631-9647 or jbodenst@nd.edu

DON’T You may not: • write, e-mail or telephone a prospective student-athlete or his/her parents in an effort to recruit them to Notre Dame. • become involved in making arrangements to provide money, financial aid or a benefit of any kind to a prospect or the prospect’s family and friends. • make contact with a prospective student-athlete and his/her parents when the prospect is on-campus for an official or unofficial recruiting visit. • contact a prospect to congratulate him/her on signing a National Letter of Intent to attend the University. • transport, pay or arrange for payment of transportation costs for a prospect and his/her relatives or friends to visit campus (or elsewhere). • pay or arrange for payment of summer camp registration fees for a prospect. • provide ANYTHING to a prospect, the prospect’s family or friends without prior approval from the Compliance Office. The support of our alumni and friends is welcomed and appreciated. We ask, however, that you also help to keep Notre Dame’s tradition of athletics integrity intact by following the NCAA regulations. Your assistance will help ensure that the eligibility of both prospective and currently enrolled student-athletes is protected and preserved. Your efforts to know and follow the NCAA legislation are greatly appreciated because violations could affect the eligibility of involved prospects or student-athletes and/or result in NCAA penalties being imposed on the University. To that end, it should be our goal, as the best alumni and fans in the country, to preserve and protect each and every student-athlete’s eligibility. All NCAA legislation cannot be covered in a limited space such as this program. Therefore, any additional questions should be forwarded to the Compliance Office in the Department of Athletics. Please remember to ask before you act!
