With Jack Parker retired, Jeff Jackson probably counts as the biggest thorn in Jerry York's side in recent years (other than Union...). Though BC holds a narrow 20-17-2 lead in the all-time series with Notre Dame, the Irish have controlled the series recently, going 9-6-1 in the last 16 matchups. This includes Notre Dame's memorable three-game upset over BC in the Hockey East quarterfinals in 2014, when ND bottled up BC's high powered offense and broke their streak of Garden appearances in the Hockey East semifinals.
This difficult foe comes to Conte tonight playing some good hockey, so this should be a tricky challenge for BC going in to the winter break.
