UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME

2014-15 | HOCKEY

hen Father Edward F. Sorin arrived in the northern Indiana wilderness, he had only $310, 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, Notre Dame would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame also has been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of synthetic rubber. Today researchers are achieving breakthroughs in astrophysics, radiation chemistry, environmental sciences, tropical disease transmission, cancer, robotics, and nanoelectronics. The University also has stressed residential life, with four of five students living on campus in 29 residence halls that serve as the focal point of social, spiritual and athletic activities. Notre Dame is one of a handful of universities with a truly international student body, coming from more than 100 nations and all 50 states. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but also to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Father Sorin. Notre Dame is one of the few universities to regularly rank in the top 25 in the U.S. News & World Report survey of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best colleges and the Learfield Sports Directorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup standings of the best overall athletics programs. The University is second only to KU

Leuven of Belgium among all Catholic universities worldwide, according to the Times Higher Education survey, and the Mendoza College of Business at Notre Dame boasts the No. 1 undergraduate business program in the nation according to Bloomberg BusinessWeek.

UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP

Fighting Irish

Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C. President

ev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., is in his second five-year term as the 17th president of the University of Notre Dame. His vision is for Notre Dame to be the Catholic research university for our time – an institution that unifies, enlightens and heals by engaging in scholarship of the first rank while maintaining its distinctive Catholic character and long-time excellence in undergraduate education. During his tenure, Notre Dame has made significant progress toward its research goal, including selection as the lead partner in the Midwest Institute for Nanoelectronics Discovery and the Center for Low Energy Systems Technology, the creation of the Innovation Park research facility, and the construction of Stinson Remick Hall of Engineering. His commitment to undergraduate education has been marked by the Notre Dame Forums, yearlong initiatives that have examined important issues such as religion and world conflict, global health, immigration, education and energy.

The University’s Catholic identity has been strengthened during Father Jenkins’ tenure in multiple ways, including the appointment of a coordinator for University life initiatives and the construction of multimillion-dollar facilities for the Institute for Church Life, including the Center for Social Concerns, and the Institute for Educational Initiatives, which includes the Alliance for Catholic Education. Father Jenkins earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in philosophy from Notre Dame in 1976 and 1978, respectively, and was ordained a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1983. He holds advanced degrees from Oxford and the Jesuit School of Theology. He is a professor of philosophy and the author of Knowledge and Faith in Thomas Aquinas. A native of Omaha, Neb., Father Jenkins was born Dec. 17, 1953.

Jack Swarbrick

Vice President • Director of Athletics • An appearance in the Bowl Championship Series football title game following the 2012 season -- in an unprecedented year in which the Irish finished the regular season 12-0 to rank number one in the final BCS poll while also ranking number one in the GSR standings. • NCAA championships in 2013 in men’s soccer, 2011 in fencing (a men’s and women’s combined championship) and 2010 in women’s soccer. • NCAA runner-up team finishes in 2014, 2012 and 2011 in women’s basketball, 2014 and 2010 in men’s lacrosse, 2013 and 2009 in fencing and 2008 in women’s soccer. • NCAA semifinal appearances in women’s basketball in 2013, men’s lacrosse in 2012, hockey in 2011, women’s tennis in 2009 and 2010 and women’s soccer in 2009, plus 2010 and 2012 third-place fencing finishes. • Construction of the 5,022-seat Compton Family Ice Arena that opened for the 2011-12 season and features two sheets of ice (one Olympic sized). The 2009-10 school year also featured dedications of new facilities for soccer and lacrosse -- as well as opening of the new Purcell Pavilion within the south dome of the Joyce Center. • 193 All-America selections and 36 Academic All-America honorees over those six combined years. Before coming back to Notre Dame, Swarbrick rose to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant and executive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries. Born in Yonkers, N.Y., and raised in Yonkers and Bloomington, Ind., he 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, one of the largest in the state. He was made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years with the firm. As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick led many of Indianapolis’ successful proposals to a wide array of athletics organizations -- from the National Football League (NFL) to the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) to the Big Ten Conference. His leadership efforts resulted in the city: • Earning the right to play host to the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium. • Becoming the home of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) national headquarters in 1999. • Hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, where Swarbrick served as the director of competition. • Hosting the 1991 World Gymnastics Championships. • Hosting NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours and other college championship competitions and a wide array of national and world championships in the Olympic sports. In 2000 Swarbrick received one of the NCAA’s highest honors, The Flying Wedge Award, for his work in establishing Indianapolis as the new home of the NCAA. In 2001 he was honored by the State of Indiana with the Sagamore of the Wabash Award. In 2002 he received the Pathfinder Award from Youthlinks Indiana for his service to youth in the state of Indiana. He received an honorary monogram from the Notre Dame Monogram Club in 2013. Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick became Notre Dame’s 12th athletics director on July 16, 2008. He and his wife, Kimberly, are the parents of four children: Kate, a 2010 graduate of Saint Louis University; Connor, a 2011 graduate of Wake Forest University; Cal, a 2014 graduate of TCU; and Christopher, a University of Notre Dame senior.

ohn B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate now in his seventh year in 2014-15 as vice president and director of athletics at his alma mater, has attached his signature to a variety of new initiatives during his tenure: • Launching of Fighting Irish Digital Media—a major enterprise that delivers better information about and access to Notre Dame and its athletic programs via expanded production and distribution of programming. • Developing a plan for expanding Notre Dame Stadium in order to make it a year-round asset for the University while also improving the game day experience for student-athletes and fans. That initiative became reality with the 2014 announcement of the Campus Crossroads Project that will add new structures to three sides of Notre Dame’s home football facility -- creating new homes for student activities and recreation, digital media, as well as academic disciplines anthropology, psychology, music and sacred music. • Creation of new community outreach and youth programming activities. • Building of student-athlete programs and services that expand recognition of high academic achievement—and mentor and facilitate career development. • Meeting the performance needs of Notre Dame student-athletes through establishment of a new sports performance division. In 2012-13 and 2013-14 combined, Swarbrick played a major role in four significant announcements that positively impacted Notre Dame on the national collegiate scene: -- Membership for Notre Dame’s athletic teams (other than football and hockey) in the Atlantic Coast Conference beginning with the 2013-14 athletic seasons. In football, Notre Dame will play five games per year against ACC opponents beginning in 2014 and also have full access to the league’s list of postseason bowl options. Notre Dame hockey now plays in Hockey East. -- An extension of the University’s relationship with NBC Sports through the 2025 football season. -- The 2014 announcement of an unmatched 10-year relationship with Under Armour to provide performance footwear, apparel and equipment for Irish athletic programs. In addition to being a shareholder in Under Armour, Notre Dame will collaborate with Under Armour in the areas of sport technology, product development, and athlete performance. -- Creation by the Bowl Championship Series of the four-team College Football Playoff to begin with the 2014 season, with Notre Dame maintaining viable access into that system. Swarbrick’s first six years combined featured a variety of on-and off-the-field Notre Dame athletics successes: • The best across-the-board athletic season in Notre Dame history in 2013-14 as Irish men’s programs claimed the Capital One Cup and 22 of 26 sports overall advanced to postseason play, enabling Notre Dame to finish a best-ever third in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics all-sports standings. • Number-one rankings for Notre Dame (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the seven most recent NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) surveys -- in 2013 at 99 for all-student-athletes. The Irish football program has ranked number one in those listings four of the last five years.

THE COMPTON FAMILY ICE ARENA

Fighting Irish

The Irish battle Michigan State on Feb. 24, 2012, in front of a sellout crowd of 5,022, one of 29 in the first three seasons at the Compton Family Ice Arena. The building officially opened Oct. 18, 2011, with the first game played there Oct. 21 versus Rensselaer. Dreams do come true. One needs to look no further than the brand new, state-of-the-art Compton Family Ice Arena (CFIA) on the campus of the University of Notre Dame.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME

The home of the Notre Dame hockey team, the facility opened its doors to the public on Oct. 18, 2011, with the Fighting Irish playing their first game three nights later on, Oct. 21 in front of a capacity crowd of 5,022 that saw the Irish take a 5-2 win versus the Rensselaer (RPI) Engineers.

Since that crazy, hectic opening week, the building has been in constant use, serving both the Notre Dame and South Bend communities, hosting a wide-range of activities, including Notre Dame hockey games and camps, local high school and youth hockey, sled hockey, figure skating, public skating, physical education skating classes, learn-to-skate, learn-to-curl and other Compton Classroom instructional programs, Notre Dame intramural ice hockey and broomball, the Notre Dame men’s and women’s club hockey and precision skating teams, commencement ceremonies, concerts

and two Chicago Blackhawk training camps (2013 and 2014), as well as serving a local meeting place. Youth hockey tournaments with participating teams from around the country and managed by Hockey Time Productions (It’s Hockey Time), showcase tournaments hosted by the High Performance Hockey League, Bauer Select camps, Chicago Mission games, the United States Hockey League (USHL), the Brian Boitano Skating Spectacular and a Montgomery Gentry and Florida Georgia Line concert have already been patrons of the CFIA in its first three years of operation.

The Compton Family Ice Arena features two sheets of ice – the 200-foot-by-90-foot Charles “Lefty” Smith Rink that serves as the home of the Notre Dame hockey program and a 200-foot-by-100-foot Olympic-sized sheet that also serves patrons of the facility. The Lefty Smith Rink has a capacity of 5,022 (4,500 chair-backed seats and 522 standing-room spaces) while the Olympic-sized rink has seating for approximately 350 available. Through its first three seasons of operation, the CFIA has already given the Irish a true home-ice advantage, as they own a 42-18-1 (.697) overall record, including a 5-0 mark in postseason contests. The 61 games played at the CFIA have included 29 sellouts (standing

room only sellouts of 5,022) while 295,430 fans have passed through the turnstiles for an average of 4,843 per game. Prior to moving into the Compton Family Ice Arena, the ice rink that serviced the Notre Dame community was the Joyce Center Rink, housed in the north dome of the Joyce Center. Opened in 1968, the Joyce Center seated 2,857 for hockey and was the home of the Irish for 44 years. While Notre Dame hockey is the main tenant of the building, the CFIA has become much more than that. It has really become a community center and a meeting place for the entire Michiana area of Northwest Indiana and

southern Michigan, a belief that Irish athletics director Jack Swarbrick talked about at the building’s ceremonial blessing on Sept. 11, 2010. On that day, Swarbrick said, ““There’s a limit to how much the community can use our dormitories and our classrooms and our laboratories, but the athletic facilities can be a special point of contact.” He continued, “I hope we win national championships with teams that train here and I hope we build new programs for our athletes and our students. But the ultimate success of this facility will be if we inspire a young boy or a young girl from the community to shoot higher, if we challenge them to be better people because they spend time on our campus. Then we’ve realized the potential of athletics at Notre Dame.” As the home of the Notre Dame hockey team, the building includes a state-of-the art team suite that includes both wet and dry locker rooms, a team auditorium for meetings and weekly team Mass, a sports medicine area, a player’s lounge, equipment areas, video operations and a multi-purpose room that will serve as a study lounge and dining area.

In addition, 700 pairs of rental skates are available to patrons of public skating in the service pro shop at ice level along with essential equipment, accessories and skate sharpening. The Compton Family Ice Arena is the home of O’Brien’s, an exclusive 250-seat club area with an Irish pub theme, that features premium food and beverage services during Irish Hockey games for O’Brien’s season ticket holders. O’Brien’s also can be used for meetings and events during non-game times The Arena also has a 15-foot-by-15-foot Daktronics four-sided center hung scoreboard with eight-foot, four-inch by 13-foot, six-inch

(operated by Centerplate) and a merchandise shop (the Irish Hockey Shop, managed by Follett’s). The concourse level also houses the Notre Dame hockey offices. Design and construction of the Compton Family Ice Arena was under the auspices of the Southfield, Mich., office of Barton Malow, a national design and construction services firm and their project partner Rossetti Architects, also of Southfield, Mich. Planning for the facility began on Feb. 12, 2009, when Notre Dame executive vicepresident John Affleck-Graves and Jack Swarbrick announced that the University’s Board of Trustees approved the plan for a stand-alone rink. On Sept. 11, 2010, a project blessing ceremony for the $50-million facility was held with many of the key benefactors in attendance. At the ceremony, Swarbrick announced that the building would be named the Compton Family Ice Arena in honor of the lead donors – Kevin and Gayla Compton and family - former members of the ownership group of the National Hockey League’s San Jose Sharks. He also talked about the new building and its importance to the Notre Dame and Michiana communities.

The facility’s media center includes a 36-seat working press area, two coaches booths, two radio booths, one television broadcast booth, one video-replay booth and one control room. Multiple TV camera locations are cabled throughout the building. Located on the main concourse of the Compton Family Ice Arena are eight spacious public restrooms, four concession stands

The official dedication of the Compton Family Ice Arena came on November 18 with the Irish facing off against Boston College on the ice. The dedication ceremonies acknowledged all of the buildings donors, especially the lead benefactors, the Compton’s and their children Cameron, Elena and Matthew for whom the building is named and key donors including the John and Mary Jo Boler family, their daughter Jill Boler McCormack and her husband, Dan, and the Bolers’ son, Matthew Boler and his wife, Christine; the family of Frank and Mary Beth O’Brien, including their late son, Frankie, who played hockey and lacrosse at Notre Dame from 198488; the Thomas J. Rolfs Family Foundation, the Michael T. McLoughlin family and the Timothy Sutherland family. The Irish won the dedication game, knocking off the Eagles 3-2 in overtime with the game winner coming with 1.1 seconds left in the extra session.

Junior center Steven Fogarty will serve as Notre Dame’s team captain for the 2014-15 season. Fogarty follows a long line of Edina, Minn., natives to captain the Irish hockey team. He joins recent Edina standouts Anders Lee and Ryan Thang in wearing the captain’s C for the Irish. IRISH CAPTAINS – University of Notre Dame hockey coach Jeff Jackson named his team captains for the 2014-15 season on Sept. 3. Junior center Steven Fogarty (Edina, Minn.) will serve as the team captain while senior Peter Schneider (Vienna, Austria) and junior Sam Herr (Hinsdale, Ill.) were selected as alternate captains. In making the selections, Jackson said, “I’m really happy with this group of captains for the coming season. All three Steven (Fogarty), Peter (Schneider) and Sam (Herr) - have strong character and with two juniors as captains, it becomes a two-year process for them leading the team. All three have the heart and voice of the team. They will do a great job for us.” Fogarty is a twotime monogram winner and follows a long line of Irish captains from Edina, Minn., joining the likes of Anders Lee, Ryan Thang and Dan Carlson in recent years. Fogarty played in 33 games last year, scoring three goals with eight assists for 11 points. Schneider is the lone senior and is coming off a junior campaign that saw him record career highs in goals (eight), assists (eight) and points (16). He is strong in the classroom with a 3.95 grade-point average with a double major in finance and economics plus a minor in actuary. Herr had a breakout season as a sophomore, playing in all 40 games with 14 goals and 13 assists for 27 points, all career highs. He had four power-play goals and four game winners and was +14 on the season. 20+ WINS – Notre Dame finished the 201314 season with a 23-15-2 overall record. The 23 wins mark the 13th time in the program’s history that the Irish reached the 20-win plateau. With 23 wins, Notre Dame has won 20 or more games in three of the last four seasons, going 92-60-13 (.597) in that span. The Irish have won 20 or more games in six of the last eight seasons under head coach Jeff Jackson.

NEW FACES - With the graduation of 11 seniors last May, Notre Dame will go from one of the most experienced teams in the nation to one of the youngest. The Irish added 10 freshmen and a junior to the roster for the 2014-15 campaign. The list includes a pair of goaltenders - junior Nick Stasack (West Springfield, Mass.) and Cal Petersen (Waterloo, Iowa), four defensemen - Nathan Billitier (Spencerport, N.Y.), Tony Bretzman (Mendota Heights, Minn.), Jordan Gross (Maple Grove, Minn.) and Luke Ripley (Kitimat, B.C.) and five forwards - Anders Bjork (Mequon, Wis.), Bo Brauer (Edina, Minn.), Dawson Cook (Cadillac, Mich.), Connor Hurley (Edina, Minn.) and Jake Evans (Toronto, Ont.). IRISH VERSUS HOCKEY EAST - Notre Dame begins its second season in Hockey East in 201415 after turning in a 9-9-2 record in league play last year. The Irish followed that with a 3-2 mark in the postseason. In year one, Notre Dame met UMass - Lowell for the first time on the ice. This season, the Irish will face another Hockey East opponent for the first time - the University of Connecticut - as the Huskies begin their first season in the conference. Here are Notre Dame’s all-time records versus each Hockey East team, along with the 2013-14 records. Team

The elapsed time of the longest game in Notre Dame hockey history (March 23, 2007). Ryan Thang’s goal at 15:18 of the second overtime gave the Irish a 3-2 win versus Alabama Huntsville in the NCAA Midwest Regional. The win was the first NCAA Championship victory for Notre Dame. The previous longest game was 80:40 in the 2002 CCHA playoffs at Nebraska Omaha.

Notre Dame finished its first season in Hockey East with a 9-9-2 record and was seeded eighth in the Hockey East playoffs. After knocking off Boston University in the first round, the Irish stunned top-seeded Boston College in the Hockey East quarterfinals, beating the Eagles two games to one in the series.

HERE COME THE ‘HAWKS - For the second consecutive year, the Chicago Blackhawks opened their 2014 training camp by spending three days - Sept. 19-21 - at the Compton Family Ice Arena on the Notre Dame campus. Chicago general manager Stan Bowman is a 1995 graduate of the University. Rookie defenseman Stephen Johns graduated from Notre Dame in May 2014 after four seasons on the Irish blue line. After a closed day of practice to start, the Blackhawks had two open-to-the public practice days (Sept. 20-21) that were sold out.

The number of Notre Dame players to be drafted by teams in the National Hockey League’s Entry Draft since the draft started in 1969. The 2014-15 team has 10 players that have been drafted - Mario Lucia (Minnesota), Steven Fogarty (New York Rangers), Robbie Russo (New York Islanders), Thomas DiPauli (Washington), Austin Wuthrich (Washington), Vince Hinostroza (Chicago), Anders Bjork (Boston), Jake Evans (Montreal), Connor Hurley (Buffalo) and Cal Petersen (Buffalo).

LEADER OF THE PACK – Notre Dame head coach Jeff Jackson begins his 10th season behind the Irish bench in 2014-15. In his first nine years, he has compiled a 208-125-35 (.613) record, picking up his 200th win for the Irish on Jan. 25, 2014, in a 3-0 win over Northeastern. His career record stands at 390-177-60 (.670) in 15 seasons between Lake Superior State (six) and Notre Dame (nine). The veteran coach enters this season with the best winning percentage among Division I coaches with 10 or more years experience. The 390 wins rank him seventh on the list of active coaches. In six seasons at his previous collegiate stop – Lake Superior State (1990-96) – Jackson’s teams were 182-52-25 with two national championships, two Central Collegiate Hockey Association regular-season titles and four CCHA tournament championships. Included in his 390 career wins are 64 postseason victories (64-27 in postseason) and a .703 postseason winning percentage.

TOURNAMENT TIME – The University of Notre Dame will play host to three tournaments this season at the Compton Family Ice Arena. On Oct. 10 and 12, Notre Dame will be the site of the season-opening Ice Breaker Tournament. That tournament will feature Minnesota, Minnesota Duluth and Rensselaer. The two Minnesota teams will battle at 2:05 p.m. on Oct. 10, with the Irish and Rensselaer facing off at 7:35 p.m. in game two. On Oct. 13, the Notre Dame football team plays host to North Carolina so hockey will take a break with over 80,000 fans on campus for football. At 12:35 p.m. on Oct. 12, Rensselaer will face either Minnesota or Minnesota Duluth with the Irish meeting the remaining team at 3:35 p.m. The second tournament to invade the Compton Family Ice Arena will be Notre Dame’s own Shillelagh Tournament over Thanksgiving, Nov. 28-29. Participating teams include defending NCAA champion Union College, along with Ohio State and Western Michigan. The former CCHA foes open the tournament at 4:05 p.m., on Nov. 28, followed by the Irish and the Dutchmen at 7:35 p.m. Saturday’s action begins at 4:05 p.m., with Union facing either Ohio State or Western Michigan and the 7:35 p.m. game featuring Notre Dame and Ohio State or Western Michigan. The third tournament will happen March 28-29 when the Irish play host to the NCAA Midwest Regional at the Compton Family Ice Arena. Teams and game times will be

The number of wins owned by goaltender Jordan Pearce in his Notre Dame career, making him the winningest goaltender in the program’s 47-year history. Pearce was 59-26-7 from 200509 with a .679 winning percentage. He passed Lance Madson who owned the record with 56.

Points scored by T.J. Tynan in his freshman year (2010-11), as he had 23 goals and 31 assists for 54 points. That was the most points for an Irish player since David Bankoske had 56 during the 1989-90 season. Tynan’s 50 or more points marked the first time a Notre Dame player had 50 or more since Curtis Janicke had 54 in 1992-93.

The number of Notre Dame hockey players to score 100 or more points during their Irish careers. T.J. Tynan and Anders Lee are the last to reach that mark, doing it in 2012-13. Tynan finished his career tied for 12th on the all-time points list with 54 goals and 107 assists for 161 points. Lee finished his career ranked 35th with 116 points (61 goals and 55 assists).

Saves posted by Matt Eisler in 3-0 win over Ohio State on Oct. 25, 1996 (most ever in a Notre Dame shutout).

ALL IN THE FAMILY - Freshman Anders Bjork (Mequon, Wis.) becomes the fourth Notre Dame hockey-playing son to follow his father to Notre Dame. His dad, Kirt Bjork, was an AllAmerican at Notre Dame during the 1982-83 campaign and is tied for 12th on Notre Dame’s all-time points list with 161, after notching 76 goals and 85 assists in 141 career games. He is

currently a director of regional development at the University of Notre Dame. Anders Bjork also has another family tie to Irish hockey, as his cousin is former Irish standout Erik Condra, currently a member of the Ottawa Senators. As the fourth son to follow his father to Notre Dame, Anders joins current Irish left wing Mario Lucia (Don Lucia) and graduated players Kevin Nugent (Kevin Nugent Sr.) and Rory Walsh (Brian Walsh) to play at Notre Dame after their fathers.

Players from the U.S. National Team Developmental Program to play at Notre Dame since the U.S. National program started in 1997-98.

The number of wins achieved by the Notre Dame hockey team during its record-setting season in 2006-07. The Irish were 32-7-3 for the year.

The Notre Dame record for wins in a season by a goaltender is held by David Brown (2006-07) and Jordan Pearce (2008-09). Brown was 30-6-3 with a miniscule 1.58 goals-against average to lead the nation in both categories. Pearce led the nation with his 30-6-3 overall record and was second with a 1.68 goals-against average.

The number of points scored by T.J. Tynan in 28 CCHA games in 2011-12. His nine goals and 20 assists tied him with Michigan State’s Torey Krug for the CCHA scoring title. He became the first Notre Dame player to win or tie for the CCHA scoring championship in the 23 years the Irish were in the conference. He is the second Notre Dame player to win a league scoring title as he follows Eddie Bumbacco who won the WCHA scoring championship in 1972-73.

The number of former Notre Dame players to see action with a National Hockey League team. During the ‘13-’14 season, forward Mark Van Guilder (Nashville Predators) saw his first NHL action.

The spot in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft where the St. Louis Blues selected Irish defenseman Ian Cole. That made him the first Notre Dame player ever selected in the first round of the NHL Draft and the earliest any Irish player has ever been selected in the draft.

The number of career game-winning goals for senior Ryan Thang in his Notre Dame career. That left him as Notre Dame’s all-time game-winning goal leader.

Notre Dame’s career mark for shutouts that is held by Steven Summerhays (2010-14). He passed the previous record holders (12) - Jordan Pearce (200509) and David Brown (2003-07) - leading the nation in his senior season with seven.

The number of brother combinations to play hockey at Notre Dame. The 2013-14 team was represented by junior defenseman Eric Johnson and sophomore defenseman Andy Ryan. Johnson’s older brother, Mike, played from 2009-13. Ryan’s older brother, Ben, played from 2007-11.

9:21

The first goal scored at the Compton Family Ice Arena was scored by Anders Lee at 9:21 of the first period on Oct. 21, 2011. The goal was one of three scored by Lee in Notre Dame’s 5-2 win over Rensselaer to christen the new building.

Fighting Irish released later in the season. BETWEEN THE PIPES – Notre Dame hockey fans have been spoiled the last two seasons due to goaltender Steven Summerhays’ (Sr., Anchorage, Alaska) stellar play between the pipes. During his Irish career, Summerhays finished 57-36-5 with a 2.19 goals-against average, a .914 save percentage and 13 shutouts. As a senior, he turned in a 21-12-2 mark to go with a 2.04 goals-against and a .924 save percentage with seven shutouts, a mark that led the nation. For his Notre Dame career, Summerhays finished first in shutouts (13), second in wins (57), second in goals-against average (2.19) and third in save percentage (.914). This season, the Irish will be young in goal. Sophomore Chad Katunar (Victoria, B.C.) saw action in five games as a freshman, making three starts. He was 2-1-0 with a 2.36 goalsagainst average and a .881 save percentage. Freshman Cal Petersen (Waterloo, Iowa) led his Waterloo Black Hawks team to the USHL’s Anderson Cup title as the regular-season champion. He tied for the league lead in wins (27) and finished in the top 10 among USHL goaltenders in goals-against average (2.50), save percentage (.915) and minutes played (2,228:40). He was selected to the USHL allstar game and was a second team all-USHL selection. In June, Petersen was selected to receive USA Hockey’s Dave Peterson Goalie of the Year Award that is presented annually to the top U.S. goaltender at the international, professional, collegiate or junior level by USA Hockey. Junior Nick Stasack (West Springfield, Mass.) joins the roster this season as the third member of the goaltending trio. He played his prep school hockey at The Loomis Chaffee School and has spent two years with the Notre Dame club team. ROOKIE HONORS – Freshman center Vince Hinostroza (Bartlett, Ill.) earned Hockey East all-rookie team honors for his play during the 2013-14 season. Hinostroza finished third in scoring for the Irish with eight goals and 24 assists for 32 points in 34 games. That ranked him third among rookie scorers in Hockey East. Hinostroza becomes the 16th Notre Dame player to be named to a conference all-rookie team and the first in Hockey East play. He joins current teammates Mario Lucia (Jr., Plymouth, Minn.) and Robbie Russo (So., Westmont, Ill.) who were named all-CCHA in their rookie seasons. HOME SWEET HOME – The 2013-14 season marked the third campaign and second full year for the Irish playing in their state-of-theart 5,022-seat on-campus arena. The building opened on Oct. 21, 2011, with a 5-2 win over Rensselaer. After going 12-7-0 in the inaugural season, the Irish were 14-6-0 in 2012-13 and

added a 16-5-1 record in 2013-14. Notre Dame is 42-18-1 for a .697 winning percentage at the Compton Family Ice Arena. In five postseason games, the Irish are 5-0. In 19 games during the ‘11-’12 season, 91,793 fans went through the turnstiles for an average of 4,793 per game with 11 of the 19 games sellouts. In ‘12-’13 the building saw 97,696 fans watch hockey for an average of 4,885 per game with 11 of the 20 contests being sellouts. Last season (‘13-’14), the Irish played 22 home games, attracting 105,941 fans for an average of 4,816 per game. Seven of the 22 games were sellouts. Over three seasons, 295,430 fans have watched Notre Dame play hockey at the Compton Family Ice Arena. RETURNING SCORERS - While Notre Dame lost its top two scorers - T.J. Tynan and Bryan Rust - to graduation, the Irish do return a strong nucleus to build around. Sophomore Vince Hinostroza finished third in scoring with eight goals and 24 assists for 32 points. Junior Mario Lucia (Plymouth, Minn.) finished the year fourth in team scoring and is the top returning goal scorer after notching 16 goals and 15 assists for 31 points. He led the Irish with seven power-play goals and added four game winners. Right behind Lucia is junior Sam Herr (Hinsdale, Ill.). The big left wing had a career year with 14 goals and 13 assists for 27 points. He notched four power-play goals and added four game winners.

Vince Hinostroza turned in an outstanding rookie season in 2013-14. The speedy center finished third on the Notre Dame roster in scoring with eight goals and 24 assists for 32 points. He was selected to the Hockey East all-rookie team after finishing third among Hockey East rookies in scoring. He also was Notre Dame’s rookie of the year.

Fighting Irish

Junior left wing Mario Lucia is Notre Dame’s topreturning goal scorer for the 2014-15 campaign. The 6-3, 204-pound forward had 16 goals a year ago and has lit the lamp 28 times in his first two seasons. As a sophomore, he led the team with seven power-play goals and tied for the lead with four game winners. NEW COACH - Fans of Notre Dame hockey will see a new face behind the Irish bench this season, as Gordon Burnett takes over as the team’s volunteer assistant coach. He replaces Brock Sheahan, who became an assistant coach at Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., this summer. A 2006 graduate of the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minn., Burnett played professionally for seven seasons (2006-13), seeing action in 307 games between the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) and the Central Hockey League (CHL). A defenseman, he scored six goals with 35 assists for 41 points and had 964 penalty minutes over seven seasons. He got his start in coaching in 2013-14 as an assistant coach with the Arizona Sundogs of the CHL while also spending time in the Sundogs’ sales office in the offseason. Arizona finished eighth in the CHL last season with a 32-27-7 record. The Sundogs upset top-seed Missouri, four games to two in the quarterfinals, and then lost to Denver in the conference finals, four games to one. The 33-year old Burnett is a native of Regina, Saskatchewan.

NHL DRAFTEES – The Irish have 10 players on the 2014-15 roster who have been selected in the National Hockey League’s Entry Draft. Four members of the Notre Dame freshman class were chosen over the last two seasons. The foursome includes center Connor Hurley (Edina, Minn.) who was chosen in the second round of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, 38th overall, by the Buffalo Sabres. Freshman goaltender Cal Petersen (Waterloo, Iowa) joined Hurley in the 2013 draft with Buffalo as the Sabres selected him in the fifth round, 129th overall. Freshman left wing Anders Bjork heard his name called in the fifth round in 2014, 146th overall, by the Boston Bruins, while freshman forward Jake Evans (Toronto, Ont.) was selected in the seventh round (207th) by Montreal. Three teammates were selected in 2012. The Washington Capitals selected junior Thomas DiPauli (Caldaro, Italy) in the fourth round, 100th overall, and seven picks later, the Caps chose Irish senior Austin Wuthrich (Anchorage, Alaska) in the fourth round. Sophomore Vince Hinostroza followed DiPauli and Hinostroza when he became a sixth-round choice (169th) of the Chicago Blackhawks. In 2011, junior Mario Lucia heard his name called by his hometown team, the Minnesota Wild, in the second round, 60th overall. Junior Steven Fogarty went in the third round, 72nd overall to the New York Rangers, and Robbie Russo (Westmont, Ill.) became a New York Islander draft choice when they chose him in the fourth round, 95th overall. THE IRISH ROSTER - Notre Dame’s roster features players from eight states, two Canadian provinces, Austria and Italy. Minnesota (7) - Steven Fogarty, Mario Lucia, Ben Ostlie, Tony Bretzman, Jordan Gross, Connor Hurley, Bo Brauer. Illinois (5) - Garrett Peterson, Robbie Russo, Sam Herr, Vince Hinostroza, Justin Wade.

He is joined by current junior Mario Lucia, as his father, Don Lucia, currently the head hockey coach at the University of Minnesota, played at Notre Dame from 197781. They join recent graduate, Kevin Nugent Jr. (2009-13), who followed his father, Kevin Nugent Sr., who played for the Irish from 1974-78. The fourth father-son combination is former goaltender Rory Walsh (2002-06) who followed his father, Brian Walsh, who played from 1973-77.

Fighting Irish

Young Irish Hockey Team Enters Year Two In Hockey East Eleven new faces dot the Notre Dame roster for 2014-15.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME

What a difference six months makes. In that short time frame, the University of Notre Dame hockey team went from being one of the most experienced teams in the nation to one of the youngest. The Irish closed out the 2013-14 campaign last March with 11 seniors in the lineup. When school started in late August, Irish head coach Jeff Jackson welcomed 11 newcomers to the Compton Family Ice Arena to begin preparations for the new season. Notre Dame turned in a 23-15-2 overall record last season, the first for the Irish in Hockey East. They were 9-9-2 in the conference, finishing in a tie for seventh in conference play. In the postseason, Notre Dame defeated Boston University in the opening round of the playoffs as the eighth seed, and then upset Boston College in the quarterfinals, winning two games to one. That upset sent the Irish to TD Garden where they fell to UMass Lowell, the eventual champion, in a 3-0 loss. In the NCAA West Regional in St. Paul, Minnesota, Notre Dame’s season came to an end in a dramatic 4-3 overtime loss to St. Cloud State, as the Huskies elimated the Irish from the postseason for the second consecutive year. Gone from that team is a bevy of talent that spread across the entire lineup. Lost to graduation were goaltenders Steven Summerhays and Joe Rogers, four defensemen - Jared Beers, Stephen Johns, Kevin Lind and Shayne Taker - and five forwards - Jeff Costello, David Gerths, Bryan Rust, T.J. Tynan and Mike Voran. Summerhays accounted for 57 wins in his four seasons at Notre Dame, the second-best total in school history. His 2.19 goals-against average in 106 career games is second among all Irish goaltenders and his .914 save percentage is third. His 13 shutouts are the most by a Notre Dame netminder. On defense, the graduated foursome played in a combined 521 games with 31 goals and 109 assists for 140 points. Three of the four players - Johns, Lind and Taker - will play this season in the American Hockey League . The offensive numbers are even more staggering. That lost quintet played in 771 games with 170 goals and 248 assists for 418 points between them. Included in those totals are Tynan’s 161 career points that tie him for 12th on the all-time points list. Three of the five will play professionally this season, as Costello, Rust and Tynan have made the jump to the American Hockey League. One thing about college hockey is certain and that is change. Every season there is a turnover in players, it’s just that most teams don’t lose as many as 11 major contributors in one season. Jackson and his staff have been through this before. In fact, last season’s graduating class was actually a

12-man freshman class that entered the University in the fall of 2010. The veteran coach can look back at the success that group had with the hope that his current cast responds in the same manner. “Obviously it was a different group of kids so you’re not sure if it’s going to be similar or not,” says Jackson. “It took a little bit longer from an adjustment standpoint early on in the year for us to get the chemistry we rely upon to be successful. “Our staff has talked about it a number of times about how that was one of our more enjoyable years as coaches,” adds Jackson. “There was so much energy and enthusiasm because of all the young guys. They invigorated us as coaches and they invigorated the upperclassemen. The upperclassmen did a great job with that group.” The freshman class of 2014-15 will look to continue the success that Notre Dame had a year ago in its first season in Hockey East. All hockey fans know that a team will only go as far as its goaltending can take it. The Irish are definitely young and inexperienced in goal as they return just sophomore Chad Katunar (Victoria, B.C.) who saw action in five games last season. The 6-5, 231-pound Katunar was 2-1-0, making three starts with a 2.36 goals-against average and a .881 save percentage for his rookie year. Joining the goaltending duo this season is freshman Cal Petersen (Waterloo, Iowa). At 6-1, 183 pounds, Petersen is an athletic goaltender who anticipates the game well. He also catches with his right hand, something different for most shooters to see. One of the top junior goaltenders in the nation a year ago, Petersen was the winner of USA Hockey’s Dave Peterson Goaltender of the Year Award that is presented annually to the top U.S. goaltender at the international, professional, collegiate or junior level. Petersen led his hometown Waterloo Black Hawks to the USHL’s Anderson Cup regular-season title as he tied for the league lead in wins (27) and was in the top 10 in goals-against average (2.50), save percentage (.915) and minutes played (2,228:40). During his two-plus seasons with Waterloo, Petersen recorded a team-record 51 wins. Look for Jackson to start the year alternating his goaltenders until one, or both, step to the head of the class. “We brought Chad (Katunar) in specifically a year in advance of Cal (Peterson),” says Jackson. “I think that it will be an interesting competition at every position, not just in goal. Chad has the experience of having been there, but he is going to have to perform. He has to show the confidence that he can step in and play and he will get the opportunity early, but so will Cal.” Jackson adds, “I really expect both of them will play. It’s just a matter of if one of them steps up. If they both step up, great. I will play two guys. I think we have two qualified guys.” Junior Nick Stasack (West Springfield, Mass.) joins the goaltending trio as the team’s third goaltender. He has waited in the wings for two seasons while playing for the Notre Dame club team. With the club team he had a 2.50 goals-against average with a .900 save percentage. He played his prep school hockey at The Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, Connecticut.

Sophomore goaltender Chad Katunar is Notre Dame’s top returning netminder. He saw action in five games as a freshman, making three starts. The Victoria, B.C., native was 2-1-0 with a 2.36 goals-against average and a .881 save percentage. Replacing four players who logged over 520 career games the last four seasons won’t be easy, but the Irish have four defensive newcomers who are going to do their best to help Irish goaltenders keep pucks out of the net. The four newcomers - Nathan Billitier (Spencerport, N.Y.), Tony Bretzman (Mendota Heights, Minn.), Jordan Gross (Maple Grove, Minn.) and Luke Ripley (Kitimat, B.C.) will look to mesh their skills with those of the returning blue line members. A key player in any success the Irish will have this year is senior defenseman Robbie Russo (Westmont, Ill.). Russo is the offensive leader of the Notre Dame defense and the quarterback of the Irish power play. He recorded four goals and 11 assists for 15 points in the first 21 games last season before being sidelined for the second half. Russo has the ability to slow the game down or speed things up with his skill and smarts with the puck. Of his 13 career goals, 11 have come on special teams as he has nine career power-play goals and a pair of shorthanders on his resume. When he went out of the lineup in the second half of the year, the Irish offense lost one of its weapons and the Irish struggled on special teams. He will be looking to cap his career with a strong senior campaign. Notre Dame’s second senior defenseman is Eric Johnson (Verona, Wis.). One of the team’s character players, Johnson became one of Notre Dame’s top shutdown defensemen in 2012-13 and, along with the graduated Lind, handled that role in his junior campaign. He is at his best when he is playing with confidence, making quick passes and moving the puck quickly from his own zone. At 6-0, 197, he doesn’t shy away from the physical game and can be his goaltender’s best friend when it comes to clearing the front of the net. He has shown the ability to add to the offensive attack as he possesses a strong, accurate shot from the point that can set his forwards up for rebounds in front. As a

SEASON PREVIEW

Fighting Irish junior, Johnson failed to light the lamp, but did add five assists in 32 games. Junior Andy Ryan (Brighton, Mich.) had a breakout season on the Irish blue line as a sophomore. Smart with the puck, Ryan saw his playing time increase throughout the season and made the most of it. He showed great smarts on the ice as he played to his strengths while understanding his limitations. Ryan contributed to the offense both at full strength and on the power play. In 28 games, he scored a pair of goals and added five assists for seven points with both goals coming on the power play. He was +7 for the season and figures to be among Notre Dame’s top four defensemen in 2014-15. The fourth returnee is sophomore Justin Wade (Aurora, Ill.) who brings size and strength to the defense. At 6-1, 216 pounds he plays the defensive defenseman’s game. When he hits you, you know it. He continues to work on improving his foot speed and building overall confidence in his game. A hard-working defender, Wade continues to improve all aspects of his game and will look to make that step into a top-six role. He played in six games as a freshman in limited playing time. Joining the four veterans is the four-man rookie class. This group of defenders is much different than the four who graduated. With Johns (6-4, 233), Lind (6-3, 222) and Taker (6-4, 208) there was size and strength with offensive skill. With the freshmen, only Ripley, at 6-4, 196 pounds comes close as the other three average 5-10 and 175 pounds. The new defensive group brings outstanding quickness and speed to the lineup. All four move the puck well and can make things happen on the ice. All four will have the opportunity to break into the top-six group as the season moves along. Billitier checks in at 5-10, 183 pounds and joins the Irish from the U.S. Under-18 team. A talented, puck-moving defenseman, he has quick feet that help in getting out of trouble on the ice. Despite his size, Billitier does not shy away from the physical game. An excellent transitional defenseman, he has a strong, accurate shot.

Defensemen

Senior defenseman Robbie Russo quarterbacks the Notre Dame power play. In 2013-14, he had four goals and 11 assists for 15 points in just 21 games. One of Notre Dame’s most skilled players, Lucia has a gift for finding the back of the goal and will be counted on to improve those numbers this season. He finished fourth on the team in scoring with 16 goals and 15 assists for 31 points and had a remarkable 19.3 percent shooting mark, scoring his 16 goals on just 83 shots. Expect Lucia to be Notre Dame’s top sniper on the power play, as he was a season ago when he led the team with seven power-play goals. He and Hinostroza have developed a knack for finding each other on the ice and will look to continue to make things happen. Right behind Lucia on the scoresheet is junior left wing Sam Herr (Hinsdale, Ill.) who had a breakout season as a sophomore. After scoring just one point as a freshman, Herr scored early and often last season, finishing the year with 14 goals and 13 assists for 27 points. Of his 14 goals, four were on the power play and four were game winners. Herr brings size (6-0, 213) to the left side and the willingness to play a physical game in the corners and in front of the net. He will serve as one of the team’s alternate captains and look to take one more step in his development this season. A streaky scorer, Herr will try to change his ways and be more consistent, contributing every night in the scoring column. He’s got the tools to be a prototypical power forward like Anders Lee was two years ago. If he can make that big step this year, it could propel him into a dominant kind of season. The remaining returnees on offense all will look to step things up this season. After watching guys like Tynan, Lee, Rust and Costello do it, now it’s their turn. Four of the returnees are seniors - Joe Aiken (Whitefish Bay, Wis.), Garrett Peterson (Manhattan, Ill.), Peter Schneider (Vienna, Austria) and Austin Wuthrich (Anchorage, Alaska). Aiken played his first season for the Irish as a junior, joining the team after playing a season with the Notre Dame club team. A smart, team player, Aiken saw action in five games, getting his chance to play when injuries hit the team in November and December.

With the national program last season, Billitier played in 45 games, scoring a goal with four assists for five points. He was a member of the silver-medal winning U.S. team at the Four Nations Tournament in Finland. Gross continues the trend of 5-10 defensemen as he packs 177 pounds on that frame. Another smooth-skating defenseman, Gross has incredible poise with the puck and makes things happen when he has it. The Minnesota native has many of the qualities that Russo also has and will be an option to quarterback one of the Irish power-play units. He’s got a strong shot from the point, but prefers to take high-percentage shots to get pucks through to the net and avoids having them blocked, which creates scoring chances in front. Last season, the former Green Bay Gambler played in 50 games and chipped in two goals and 23 assists for 25 points. In 120 career games in Green Bay, Gross had 11 goals and 47 assists for 58 points. At 6-4, 196 pounds, Ripley will remind fans of the graduated Taker as he is strong on his skates and moves the puck rapidly to his teammates. He has the tools to be a solid contributor on defense after playing his junior hockey in the BCHL with the Powell River Kings. He battled injuries last year, playing in just 29 games while recording eight assists. The previous year, he played in 45 games, scoring twice with 11 assists for 13 points and 85 penalty minutes. “We’ve wanted to change things a bit due to the league we’re playing in,” says Jackson. “I think that Hockey East, for the most part, has a lot of high tempo teams. You have to make good, solid decisions coming out of your zone or you turn pucks over. You need to have guys that can get back to pucks, get some pucks first and then you have to make a play with that puck because you’re going to be under some instant pressure. “We consciously tried to change our defense a little bit more and that’ll continue to happen over the next couple years where we’ve tried to isolate specific types of players who will help us in the possession game.” As a group, the goaltenders and the defensemen will look to keep the defensive numbers down. In 2013-14, the Irish surrendered 86 goals in 40 games for a 2.15 average per game. Numbers like that play a key role in winning games. Offensively, Notre Dame will look to build on its offensive numbers from last season when the Irish averaged 3.00 goals per game, scoring 120 goals in 40 contests. Notre Dame loses its top two scorers from a year ago in Tynan (eight goals, 30 asssists, 38 points) and Rust (17 goals, 16 assists, 33 points), plus 13 more goals from Costello. The Irish do return a nucleus of players who have proven to be consistent, solid point producers. Leading that group is the dynamic, playmaking Vince Hinostroza (So., Barlett, Ill.) who finished third in scoring last season with eight goals and 24 assists for 32 points. Those totals ranked third among Hockey East freshmen and earned him a spot on the league’s all-rookie team. Despite being 5-9, 180 pounds, Hinostroza doesn’t stray from the physical play and is more than willing to take his lumps in front of the goal. He has the knack for finding the open man and has all the tools to be a top Division I player. This season, he will look to shoot the puck more to add to his numbers in the scoring column. Right behind Hinostroza on the scoresheet is junior left wing Mario Lucia (Plymouth, Minn.) who is the top returning goal scorer after lighting the lamp with 16 in his sophomore year.

SEASON PREVIEW Peterson saw action in 18 games last season and had one goal. An outstanding skater, he brings a physical game to the ice and has the skills to be a top penalty killer. Schneider turned in a career year in 2013-14 as he had career highs in goals (eight), assists (eight), points (16), shots on goal (83), short-handed goals (two) and game winners (one). One of Notre Dame’s two alternate captains, Schneider possesses tremendous speed and a dynamic shot. In the past, he has adapted his role to what the coaching staff needed him to do and has been one of the team’s top shutdown forwards This season may see Schneider return to a more offensive game to take advantage of his skating and scoring skills. A true team leader, Schneider plays the game at both ends of the ice and is one of Jackson’s top, two-way forwards. An outstanding student off the ice, the native of Vienna, Austria, will look to end his Notre Dame career on a positive note.

18 9-20SeasonPreview.indd 18

Fighting Irish Wuthrich has had a solid career in his first three seasons and has the potential for an outstanding senior year. As a junior, he had six goals and seven assists for 13 points in 40 games. Three of his goals came on the power play. Nagging injuries have played a part in holding Wuthrich’s game down to a degree, but he will look to be more consistent this season. At 6-1, 204 pounds, he has the size to make life tough around the goal for defenses and goaltenders and needs to play with more of an edge, taking the game to them. Like Schneider, Wuthrich will look to finish on a high note and reach a new level with his game this season. Joining Herr and Lucia in the junior class are Thomas DiPauli (Caldaro, Italy) and Steven Fogarty (Edina, Minn.). DiPauli battled injuries all season as a sophomore in 2013-14, playing in just 26 games, scoring three goals with two assists for five points. A 5-11, 191 pounds, DiPauli can play at left wing or center. He brings speed and intensity to the lineup and is one of Notre Dame’s top penalty killers. Fogarty, who will serve as team captain in his junior year, has been Jackson’s top two-way center during his career. As a sophomore, he had a solid season scoring three goals with eight assists for 11 points in 33 games. This season, the Irish coaching staff would like to see Fogarty revert back to the offensive game that he showed at Edina High School and with Penticton in the BCHL. The leader of the Irish will look to become more of a two-way center than just a defensive forward, a role he has excelled at in his first two seasons. Joining Hinostroza from the sophomore class are Ben Ostlie (Edina, Minn.) and Ali Thomas (New York, N.Y.). Both players saw limited action in their freshman year, but could break in this season. Ostlie split time between defense and forward last season and will make the move to right wing in 2014-15. He played forward earlier in his career and impressed the Notre Dame coaches with his physical presence when he played at forward. A strong skater with good stick skills, he could break into the regular rotation on the right side. Thomas played in 11 games last season and scored a goal with an assist for two points. His goal was a game winner. At 6-3, 214 pounds, Thomas is strong on his skates and enjoys the physical aspects of the game. He has good hands and could work his way into a full-time role this year. Five new forwards dot the roster and bring a variety of skills to the attack. Anders Bjork (Mequon, Wis.) is a talented 5-11, 183-pound left wing who is a playmaker with the ability to make those around him better. A versatile player, he can play all three forward spots and play them well. A product of a talented U.S. Under-18 team in 2013-14, Bjork was sixth in scoring with 21 goals and 21 assists for 42 points and was a member of the gold-medal winning team at the Under-18 World Championships in April. He is the son of 1983 Irish All-American Kirt Bjork and the cousin of 2009 All-American Erik Condra. Bo Brauer (Edina, Minn.) joins the Notre Dame attack at right wing. A big, strong, two-way forward, Brauer is 6-3, 210 pounds and is a presence in the offensive zone. After helping Edina to the 2013 Minnesota State 2AA championship, he took his game to the BCHL where he played for the Naniamo Clippers. There, he scored 19 goals with 16 assists for 35 points. With his size and reach, he has the ability to create space and his own shot on the ice. A power forward, he could make his living around the goal crease and in the slot. Dawson Cook (Cadillac, Mich.) brings size and a strong defensive game to center. He is 6-1, 205 pounds and while known for his defensive skills, he saw his offensive game come to life late last season with the USHL’s Green Bay Gamblers.

He chipped in 15 goals with 18 assists for 33 points in 59 games last season. A key member of the freshman class is center Connor Hurley (Edina, Minn.). A talented, highly-skilled center, Hurley has tremendous playmaking skills with great hands around the goal. The 6-2, 178 pound center has scored everywhere he has played throughout his career. He will look to add some weight to his frame this season but will be counted on to add to the offensive attack. He split his final season in juniors in the USHL with Muskegon and Green Bay, finishing the year with 13 goals and 37 assists for 50 points in 57 games. Rounding out the group of freshman forwards is Jake Evans (Toronto, Ont.). He gives the Irish versatility since he can play right wing or center. A talented playmaker, Evans had 16 goals and 47 assists for 63 points as a member of the St. Michael’s Buzzers in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. He’s got great hockey instincts and has the ability to make plays. As he adapts to the college game, look for Evans to become a top-notch goal scorer for the Irish. With all the new faces, Jackson knows it will be important for the freshmen to learn fast and start to contribute early in the season. “I think it will be critical on the back end, whether it’s in goal or if it’s on defense,” says Jackson. “All of the freshmen are capable. Some are projected to be projects, but we have high expectations for two or three of the forwards and two or three of the defensemen to step up and contribute right away. They are going to have to do it in key situations. “Offensively, I like our depth and the potential that we have on our lines,” says Jackson. “We have a good mix of players. There are guys who bring energy and play physical and guys who can make plays and score. We are still looking to develop chemistry but that will come with practice.”

Junior left wing Sam Herr scored 14 goals with 13 assists in his sophomore year, good for 27 points. Four of his goals came on the power play and four were game winners.

2014-15 NCAA Ice Hockey Rules Points of Emphasis

In this rules cycle, the “Point of Emphasis”section calls attention to several areas of the game that the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey Rules Committee believe must be improved through a stronger emphasis on existing rules and adding some clarifications. The rules committee requests that players, officials and coaches concentrate on the following areas: Diving and Embellishment Coaches, conference commissioners, coordinators of officials and on-ice officials must work collaboratively to rid the game of both diving to draw a penalty and embellishing actions to deceive game officials. The committee encourages conferences to develop ways to curb this type of behavior and if appropriate use supplemental discipline. Game officials continue to be encouraged to communicate as a crew and share information when diving or embellishment is in question. Delaying Tactics (Faceoffs) The committee encourages stringent use of the delay of game rules in place, especially during situations where a team may not change its players by rule (e.g., icing). In the rules survey, coaches and administrators overwhelmingly supported a crackdown on these actions. Players on the ice when play is stopped for any violation which does not permit a change of players, (e.g., icing) are required to go immediately to the faceoff location. Any player skating to the bench or otherwise delaying will receive a warning for the first offense and a bench minor penalty on the second and subsequent offense. Goalkeeper Interference Clarifying incidental contact between attacking players and the goalkeeper is a key initiative of the committee in this cycle. The goalkeeper must be allowed to play the position, but attacking players also must be given rights to legally obtained space. Through video and directives, the committee will provide more clarity on this issue. Essentially, the crease is the goalkeeper’s area and any contact that prevents the goalkeeper from playing the position must not be allowed. Deliberate contact with the goalkeeper (regardless of where it occurs) that prevents playing the position should result in a disallowed goal, penalty or both. Rules Video Please be sure to view the NCAA’s annual rules video, available online at www.NCAA.org/ playing rules in the ice hockey section. The video includes several specific examples, with proper rules administration, of new rules and points of emphasis.

In his first nine years at Notre Dame, Jackson owns a 208-123-35 mark with two trips to the NCAA Frozen Four (2008 and 2011), six NCAA appearances, a pair of CCHA regular-season championships (2007 and 2009) and three CCHA Mason Cup titles (‘07, ‘09 and ‘13). 53-66CoachingStaff.indd 53

HEAD COACH JEFF JACKSON Head Coach 10th Season at Notre Dame Michigan State ‘78

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME

The 2014-15 hockey season marks University of Notre Dame hockey coach Jeff Jackson’s 10th season behind the Irish bench. During his first nine seasons, the program has enjoyed a great deal of success. The Jeff Jackson era began in 2005 when the University searched for a man who could move the program among the elite hockey schools in the country. 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 at Notre Dame. After nine seasons, it’s safe to say the Irish hit a home run with the selection of the popular coach. During his nine-year run, Notre Dame has become one of the nation’s top teams, winning the Central Collegiate Hockey Association’s (CCHA) regu-

Jeff Jackson is the fourth head coach in the 47-year modern history of the Notre Dame hockey program. In 15 seasons as a Division I head coach, Jackson owns a 390-177-60 career record and his .670 winning percentage is the best among active coaches.

Fighting Irish lar-season title twice (2006-07 and 2008-09) while earning three Mason Cup championships (‘07, ‘09 and the final one in 2013). In the team’s first season in Hockey East (2013-14), the Irish upset the conference’s top team - Boston College - in the quarterfinals to advance to Boston’s TD Garden for the Hockey East semifinals. During Jackson’s tenure, his teams have made six trips to the NCAA Championship (2006-09, 2010-11 and 2012-14), advancing to the Frozen Four twice, playing in the 2008 title game and the 2011 semifinals. Since his second season at Notre Dame (200607), Jackson’s program is among the top programs in the nation in wins and winning percentage, going 195-106-31 (.634) over the eight-year span. Between ‘06-’09, the Irish turned in win totals of 32, 27 and 31 for three consecutive seasons of 25-or more wins and three consecutive NCAA Championship appearances, a first in the program’s 47-year history. Jackson’s success on the ice also has had a major impact off the ice for the Irish. With the wins came a commitment from the University that led to the new home of Irish hockey - The Compton Family Ice Arena - one of the finest college hockey facilities in the nation. The new venue opened for business on Oct. 21, 2011. After winning the final CCHA postseason championship in 2012-13, Notre Dame began play in Hockey East a season ago. In conference play, the Irish were 9-9-2 to finish in eighth place. Overall the team was 23-15-2 and finished the year ranked 11th in both national polls. In the postseason Notre Dame won the onegame, first-round contest versus Boston University at home to advance to the quarterfinals versus topranked Boston College. At Conte Forum, the Irish took the best-of-three series, two games to one, winning 7-2 in the opener, dropping a 4-2 decision in game two then winning the deciding game by a 4-2 verdict. In the Hockey East semifinals in Boston, Notre Dame fell to eventual champion, UMass Lowell, by a 4-0 score. The Irish were the No. 2 seed in the NCAA West Regional in Minneapolis, Minnesota. There the season came to an end for the second consecutive year at the hands of the St. Cloud State Huskies, as the Irish lost an overtime thriller, 4-3. Jackson and his 2012-13 team closed out the final season of play in the CCHA by finishing second in the regular-season standings before going on to win the final CCHA postseason championship at Joe Louis Arena. The Irish finished the year with a 25-13-3 overall mark and were 17-8-3-3 in conference play to finish three points behind first-place Miami in the regular season. They would defeat Bowling Green, two games to one in the quarterfinals, before downing Ohio State and Michigan by identical 3-1 scores in Detroit. The win over Michigan in the title game marked the third time that Notre Dame had knocked off the Wolverines in a CCHA championship contest and was the fifth win on the year against Michigan.

The ‘12-’13 season was a bounce-back year for Notre Dame, as the team experienced a wild rollercoaster ride in 2011-12 season, going 19-18-3 for the season while tying for eighth in the CCHA with a 12-13-3 conference mark. The Irish defeated Ohio State in the first round of the playoffs before being ousted in the quarterfinals by Michigan. In 2010-11 Notre Dame went on a magical run to the NCAA Frozen Four. The Irish were 25-14-5 overall while leading the CCHA until the final week of the season. They finished 18-7-3-2 in the conference and finished second to Michigan by two points. After dropping both games in the CCHA Championship, the Irish got hot in the NCAAs, winning the Northeast Regional with wins over Merrimack (4-3 in overtime) and New Hampshire (2-1) to advance to the Frozen Four in St. Paul, Minnesota.

HEAD COACH

Fighting Irish

In 15 seasons coaching at the Division I level, between Lake Superior State and Notre Dame Irish head coach Jeff Jackson has been named the CCHA’s coach of the year three times, including twice (‘06-’07 and ‘10-11) while at Notre Dame. Following the 2006-07 season, he was honored as the national coach of the year with the Spencer Penrose Award. There, Notre Dame fell in the semis to eventual NCAA champion Minnesota Duluth with a 4-3 loss. The veteran coach was selected as the CCHA coach of the year for the third time (‘90-’91, ‘06-’07 and ‘10-’11) and was a finalist for the Spencer Penrose Award as the national coach of the year.

The Frozen Four run in 2011 erased the memories of a disappointing 2009-10 season for Notre Dame as the Irish struggled, battling injuries and a scoring slump on the way to a 13-17-8 overall record and a 9-12-7-2 mark in the CCHA that put the Irish ninth in the conference.

The 2008-09 campaign was a year to remember as Notre Dame won its second conference and playoff title in three years. After a 2-3-0 start, the Irish would not lose for three months as they went on a 20-game unbeaten streak (17-0-3), from Oct. 31 to Jan. 17, while being number one in the nation for seven consecutive weeks for the second time in the program’s history. After seeing the streak stopped, Notre Dame would lose just one more time during the ‘08-’09 regular season. The Irish ended the regular season and the CCHA tournament on a 10-game winning streak. Notre Dame finished first in the conference with a 21-4-3-3 mark, eight points ahead of second-place Miami and Michigan. The Irish advanced to Joe Louis Arena for the third consecutive year by beating Nebraska Omaha in the second round of the playoffs. They then knocked off Northern Michigan 2-1 in the semifinals and rallied from a 2-0 deficit to beat Michigan for the CCHA title with a 5-2 victory. Notre Dame went into the NCAA Championship as the top seed in the Midwest Regional and was upset in the opening round by Bemidji State by a 5-1 margin. The 31 wins were the second most by a Notre Dame hockey team and the Irish had the lowest goals-against average in the nation (1.71) for the second time in three years. In 2007-08 the Irish were 27-16-4 and finished fourth in the CCHA with a 15-9-4 mark. They advanced to the CCHA Championship in Detroit, but lost to Miami in the semifinals and Northern Michigan in the third-place contest. The last at-large team to make the NCAA Championship, Notre Dame’s 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 weekend and then stopped Michigan State 3-1 to win the region, becoming the first fourth-seeded team to advance to the NCAA Frozen Four. At the Frozen Four, Jackson’s squad upset No. 1-ranked Michigan 5-4 in overtime to move to the national championship game versus Boston College. The Eagles ended the magical ride with a 4-1 victory in Denver. After going 13-19-4 in his first season behind the bench in 2005-06, Jackson’s ‘06-’07 team got the ball rolling towards Irish hockey success. During that season, Notre Dame set school records for overall wins (32) and CCHA victories (21) on the way to capturing the school’s first-ever CCHA regular-season and tournament 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. They made their second appearance in the NCAA championship (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. In nine seasons guiding the Irish, Jackson has seen the program go from five wins to 13 victories in

During his tenure behind the Notre Dame bench, Jackson is 208-125-35 for a .613 winning percentage. The 59-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 – as 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, Michigan, 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

Fighting Irish Championship to knock off Wisconsin (5-3) in Albany, N.Y., in the first of three trips to the Frozen Four. The Lakers were 32-8-5 during the 1992-93 season and finished third in the CCHA with a 20-5-5 record. They captured the league’s tournament title by beating Miami, 3-0, in the finals at Joe Louis Arena. Lake Superior State defeated Minnesota-Duluth in the West Regional to advance to the finals in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There the Lakers defeated Boston University in the semifinals before falling to Maine in the finals, 5-4. Lake Superior State didn’t dwell on the loss to Maine as the Lakers rebounded with a 31-10-4 record and a second-place CCHA finish in 1993-94. After losing to Michigan in the CCHA title 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 in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Lakers bounced the Terriers 9-1 to record their second championship in three years. 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 Championship, they lost to Boston University in the Regional final. In his final season in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, Jackson saw the Lakers return to the 30-win plateau, going 30-8-2 overall, winning their second regularseason title with a 22-6-2 mark. Lake Superior State lost to Michigan in the CCHA title game (just the second CCHA championship loss in Jackson’s six years) 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), one Academic All-America, and 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 State. 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. He was inducted into the Lake Superior State University athletics hall of fame on July 23, 2009. 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 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-ever finish for the U.S. team. The following year Jackson served as an assistant coach for Team USA at the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan. In his four years directing the national program, eight former Notre Dame players came from the developmental program. 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 NHL’s New York Islanders where he served as an assistant on Steve Stirling’s staff from 2003-05. In 2003-04, the Islanders finished third in the NHL’s Atlantic Division with a 38-29-11-4 record, good for 91 points. In May 2003, Inside College Hockey, ranked Jackson 12th on its list of the 16 greatest college coaches of all-time with only five of the 16 still active in coaching. Jackson is a member of the USA Hockey Coaches Achievement Program, the American Hockey Coaches Association and the National Hockey League Coaches Association.

11-13-4 – good for eighth place in the league and the final home-ice spot in the CCHA playoffs. Only Miami made a bigger jump in ‘05-’06 with a 16-point improvement. In Jackson’s first nine seasons, the Irish have played with poise and discipline, relying on team defense, strong goaltending and excellent special teams play. They also laid the foundation for future seasons with major success on the recruiting trail. Since Jackson’s arrival, the Irish have had 26 players selected in the National Hockey League Entry Draft, including four first-rounders. In that same span, 18 players from USA Hockey’s National Team Developmental Program have matriculated to Notre Dame. During his tenure, the Irish have had four players garner All-America honors - Anders Lee in 2013, Ian Cole and Erik Condra in 2009 and David Brown in 2007 while 11 different players have seen action in the NHL. Jackson enters the 2013-14 season with a 15-year collegiate record of 390-177-60 for a .670 winning percentage, the best percentage among all active Division I coaches with five years or more in Division I. His 390 career wins rank seventh among active coaches. Success is nothing new for Jackson on the Division I level. 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 Mason Cup 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 2005, Jackson became the first Notre Dame head coach to have won an NCAA Division I championship with another program before being hired as an Irish head coach. The highly regarded Jackson has over 28 years of coaching experience, 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 pro ranks following the 1989-90 season, Jackson took over as the head coach and in a six-year span (1991-96) guided Lake Superior State to six consecutive NCAA appearances, including three straight trips to the title game. 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. The Lakers lost in the NCAA quarterfinals to Clarkson, two games to one. A year later, Lake Superior State ran off its second 30-plus win season under Jackson, going 30-9-4 on the year, while finishing second in the league with a 20-8-4 mark. The Lakers advanced through the NCAA

PAUL POOLEY Associate Head Coach 10th Season at Notre Dame Ohio State ‘84 Paul Pooley returns for his 10th season at the University of Notre Dame as the team’s associate head coach. He was named to the position on June 3, 2005, by head coach Jeff Jackson. This is Pooley’s second tour of duty 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 nine 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 eight Notre Dame teams go a combined 195-10631, win a pair of Central Collegiate Hockey Association regular-season titles and three CCHA Mason Cup championships (2007, 2009, 2013) while advancing to the NCAA Championship six times (2006-09, 2011, 2013), including a pair of trips to the Frozen Four (2008, 2011). Overseeing the Irish defense, Pooley has seen Notre Dame give up the fewest goals per game (1.67 in ‘06-’07), the fifth fewest in ‘07-’08 (2.13) and the fewest again in ‘08-’09, just 1.71 per game. The veteran coach joined the Irish staff after spending 11 seasons (1994-2005) as head coach at Providence College. During those 11 seasons, Pooley’s Friars were a combined 185-187-40, winning the Hockey East title in 1995-96 and appearing in two NCAA Championships (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

Paul Pooley teams with head coach Jeff Jackson, associate coach Andy Slaggert and volunteer assistant Gordon Bennett to give Notre Dame one of the top coaching staffs in all of college hockey. Pooley is in his second stint with Jackson, as the duo teamed to guide Lake Superior State to NCAA titles in 1992 and 1994. 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-America 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. At Notre Dame, he has been instrumental in 10 defensemen - Noah Babin (Carolina), Wes O’Neill (Colorado), Ian Cole (St. Louis), Kyle Lawson (Carolina), Teddy Ruth (Columbus), Joe Lavin (Chicago), Sean Lorenz (Minnesota), Stephen Johns (Chicago), Kevin Lind (Anaheim) and Shayne Taker (Florida) - signing NHL contracts. During that same time frame, Lawson was named a second-team CCHA all-star and the league’s best defensive defenseman (‘08-’09), Cole was a first-

A 1984 Ohio State graduate (cum laude in accounting and marketing), Pooley got his start in college coaching at his alma mater, serving as an assistant to Jerry Welsh with the Buckeyes for three seasons (1988-91) following the end of his professional career. No stranger to the CCHA, Pooley was one of the conference’s top players from 1980-84 and was a second-team selection to the conference’s all-decade team of the 1980s. A three-time member of the CCHA’s all-academic team, he took Academic All-America honors in 1984. A second-team all-CCHA selection in 1981, he also was selected as the CCHA’s co-rookie of the year that season. Pooley capped his brilliant Ohio State career in 1984, as he was selected as the CCHA player of the year and Bauer’s national player of the year, leading the nation in scoring with 32 goals and 64 assists for 96 points in 41 games. Selected first-team all-CCHA and first team All-America as a senior, Pooley is Ohio State’s all-time leader in goals (114), assists (156) and points (270) and joined the Ohio State Athletic Hall of Fame in 1994. He became the first Ohio State hockey player to have his number retired on Nov. 4, 2006, during a game between Notre Dame and the Buckeyes. A native of Exeter, Ontario, Pooley signed with the NHLs Winnipeg Jets following his collegiate career and played two seasons with the Jets’ top farm team, the Sherbrooke Canadiens of the American Hockey League, playing on a Calder Cup championship team in 1985. He moved on to play one season with the Fort Wayne Komets of the International Hockey League where he was co-captain of a Komet team that won the 1987 regular-season championship. In his three seasons as a pro, Pooley played in 15 NHL games with the Jets. He retired in 1987 to go into private business with his twin brother, Perry, also an Ohio State hockey All-American. Pooley and his wife, Kelly, have two children 20-year old, Scott, who is a freshman hockey player at College of the Holy Cross, and 17-year old Taylor.

The award is named in honor of the former New Hampshire player and Bowling Green assistant and honors an assistant coach for his career body of work. Following the 2008-09 campaign, Slaggert received the Notre Dame hockey team’s Distinguished Alumnus Award that is presented each year to an alumnus of the program to acknowledge his accomplishments and the example he sets for others as an alumnus of the Notre Dame hockey program. During Slaggert’s 21 seasons as an assistant, he has been involved in the recruiting of 42 players who were selected in the National Hockey League Draft. That group of 42 includes four players selected in the first round - Ian Cole (St. Louis in 2007), Kyle Palmieri (Anaheim in 2009), Riley Sheahan (Detroit in 2010) and Jarred Tinordi (Montreal in 2010).

As soon as student-athletes begin classes, Academic Services monitors their progress through professor surveys that ask professors to comment on each student’s work level, attendance and any need for tutorial help. If a professor or student-athlete feels there is need for additional help, Academic Services provides tutorial assistance.

Stephen Johns, senior center T.J. Tynan and junior right wing Peter Schneider had one shorty each. TRADED – It isn’t often that college hockey players are traded before they finish college by NHL teams that draft them. Don’t tell that to former Notre Dame senior captain Jeff Costello. He was traded twice during the 2013-14 season. On March 4, Ottawa traded his rights to Vancouver for AHL defenseman Patrick Mullen. On June 27, Costello was part of a trade that sent Costello, defenseman Jason Garrison and a 2015 seventh-round pick from Vancouver to the Tampa Bay Lightning for a second round, 50th overall selection in the 2014 draft. He joins former Irish defenseman Teddy Ruth ‘12, who saw his rights traded in college from the Washington Capitals to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Sergei Federov on Feb. 26, 2008.

HOCKEY HUMANITARIAN – Senior goaltender Joe Rogers was one of five finalists for the prestigious 2014 BNY Mellon Wealth Management Hockey Humanitarian Award. The five finalists were selected from a list of 18 nominees announced in January 2014 by the award’s board of directors. The Hockey Humanitarian Award, now in its 20th year, is presented annually to college hockey’s “finest citizen,” includes players from Divisions I, II and III and seeks to recognize college hockey players, male or female, who contribute to local and/or global communities in a true humanitarian spirit. Rogers was known for his community service work throughout his career. He served as a role model for younger kids with handicaps as he himself overcame a handicap to play Division I hockey. He volunteered with a local sled hockey program in the South Bend/ Mishawaka area - the River City Sled Rovers beginning its first day. He also worked with the local youth hockey program - the Irish Youth Hockey League - along with his teammates.

During the 2012-13 season, Rogers became involved with Hockey Saves, an organization that started near Fort Benning, Ga., providing members of the military with funding to play hockey and supplies and equipment to play the game. During the summer of 2013, he was asked to join the Board of Directors of Hockey Saves and has become involved with the organization as a consultant and ambassador for the group as it helps unite the game of hockey and members of the military. During his senior year, Rogers hosted members of Hockey Saves for Notre Dame’s series with Northeastern. Irish players wore jerseys - designed by Rogers - that were then available in an on-line auction that raised over $18,000 to benefit Hockey Saves. Members of the military group who traveled to Notre Dame for the weekend also had the chance to skate with Rogers and members of the Irish hockey team following the second game with Northeastern that weekend.

A new era for the University of Notre Dame hockey program began on July 1, 2013, when the Irish officially became a member of the Hockey East Association. Due to changes in the college hockey landscape during the 2011-12 season, beginning with the birth of the Big Ten hockey conference and the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC), Notre Dame’s former conference - the Central Collegiate Hockey Association - ceased to exist after 42 years of operation. In their first season in the new conference, the Irish were 23-15-2 overall and 9-9-2 in league play and advanced to the Hockey East semifinals at TD Garden in Boston, Mass. Now in its 31st year, Hockey East has consistently remained the strongest Division I conference from top to bottom and, in 2014-15, will have 12 members with the addition of the University of Connecticut. The Hockey East Association has continued a steady rise to prominence since its founding charter on July 11, 1983, when the possibility of an apparent Ivy League departure threatened the ECAC. In response, the athletics directors from Boston College, Boston University, New Hampshire, Northeastern and Providence unveiled a new Division I men’s ice hockey conference. Together, Bill Flynn of Boston College, John Simpson of Boston University, Andy Mooradian of New Hampshire, Joe Zabilski of Northeastern and Lou Lamoriello of Providence launched Hockey East. Lamoriello assumed the role of the league’s first commissioner. Later that summer, the Board of Directors added the University of Maine and the University of Lowell (now UMass Lowell). Official conference competition of the seven-team league began with the 1984-85 season, and expansion brought the league to nine teams with the additions of Merrimack College (1989) and the University of Massachusetts (1993). The entry of the University of Vermont for the 2005-06 season brought the conference membership to 10 teams. Notre Dame was accepted as the league’s 11th member on Oct. 5, 2011, with Connecticut announced on June 21, 2012. Over the last 30 years, Hockey East has cemented itself as the nation’s elite college hockey league, having earned 39 of 120 berths in the NCAA Frozen Four while boasting eight NCAA title winners: the University of Maine in 1993 and 1999, Boston University in 1995, Boston College in 2001 and 2008, Boston University in 2009 and the Eagles again most recently in 2010 and 2012. Three of the four Frozen Four participants in 1999 came from the Hockey East ranks and last year the conference sent three teams to the NCAA Championship, marking nine times in the last 10 seasons that league teams have accomplished that feat. A major reason for the success of Hockey East is the quality of student-athletes who have represented the member schools both on and off the ice. Eight Hockey East players have been named winner of the Hobey Baker Award that is presented to college hockey’s top player. Boston College forward David Emma (1991) was the conference’s first winner and was followed by Maine forwards Scott Pellerin (1992) and Paul Kariya (1993). Boston University forward Chris Drury won the award in 1998 and was followed by New Hampshire’s Jason Krog (1999). Boston College defenseman Mike Mottau (2000) gave the conference three consecutive winners and Boston University blueliner Matt Gilroy was the 2009 recipient. High scoring forward Johnny Gaudreau from Boston College was

the league’s most recent recipient of the coveted award, taking the honor in 2014. During the 2013-14 season, 66 Hockey East alumni saw action in the National Hockey League. Fifty-one 51 active Hockey East players have been selected in the NHL Entry Draft. The league boasts 37 all-time first round picks and over the 30-year history of Hockey East, 574 student-athletes have heard their names called in the NHL Entry Draft, including nine last June. Notre Dame’s 2014-15 roster includes a league-high 10 NHL draft choices, while Boston College and Boston University each have had nine players selected. In the classroom, Hockey East student-athletes have demonstrated their commitment to overall excellence, as the Hockey East All-Academic Team honored a leaguerecord 109 student-athletes for outstanding academic achievement during the 2013-2014 academic year. Massachusetts junior Oleg Yevenko and Merrimack College freshman Hamphus Gustafsson were named the recipients of the league’s Top Scholar-Athlete Award with perfect 4.0 grade-point averages for the season. The league also honored 11 student-athletes that received “Distinguished Scholar” status. Those earning “Distinguished Scholar” status achieved a 3.0 or better in each semester over four varsity seasons. The list includes: Patrick Brown (Boston College), Anthony DeCenzo (Vermont), Jordan Heywood (Merrimack), Josh Holmstrom (UMass.-Lowell), H.T. Lenz (Vermont), Isaac MacLeod (Boston College), Tom McCarthy (Merrimack), Brice O’Connor (Maine), Steven Shamanski (Providence), Jon Swavely (Maine) and Shayne Thompson (UMass.-Lowell). Hockey East athletes also make a positive impact on many community service programs across the region, volunteering with youth hockey associations and community service organizations. Six Hockey East athletes have received the prestigious Hockey Humanitarian Award, three men and three women, and eight others have been finalists for the award, including Notre Dame’s Joe Rogers in 2013-14. Student-athletes in Hockey East once again will enjoy plenty of exposure on the national and regional levels as the league will have over 30 games televised this season between the NBC Sports Network and the New England Sports Network (NESN). With the addition of Notre Dame and Connecticut to Hockey East, the league changed its scheduling format with each team now playing the other conference teams just twice for a 22-game conference schedule. This season the Irish will play two-game home series with Boston College, Massachusetts Lowell, New Hampshire, Providence and Vermont while traveling to Boston University, Maine, Massachusetts, Merrimack and Northeastern. The Irish and Connecticut will play a home-and-home series to round out the schedule. All 12 schools will be included in the postseason with the top four teams getting a bye in the first round. The remaining eight teams will play a best-of-three first-round elimination series (12 vs. 5, 11 vs. 6, 10 vs. 7 and 9 vs. 8) with the winners advancing to the second round. In the second round, the top four seeds will host the lowest remaining seeds in the best-of-three quarterfinals with the four winners advancing to T.D. Garden in Boston, Mass., for the Hockey East Championship.
