Welcome to the B1G, Notre Dame Hockey Fans!!! Yes, the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame are no longer in Hockey East. Now in the B1G, the Fighting Irish will play Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn State, Ohio State, and Michigan State as conference foes, filtering through Compton Family Ice Arena by the end of February. Further, as announced on Monday, one of these conference matchups will be played at the United Center in Chicago January 21, 2018.
Let’s jump into this past weekend’s two game series against the Penn State Nittany Lions. Game 1 on Friday evening proved to be quite the battle between the Fighting Irish and the Nittany Lions.
