Championship hockey! There is nothing better than putting it all on the line for a chance to play in a championship game. Saturday night was no different. The #4 seed Ohio State Buckeyes were back at Notre Dame to take on the #1 seed Notre Dame Fighting Irish for the B1G Conference Championship title. The inaugural season for the Fighting Irish in the B1G had come to a climax. All that was missing was the whistle and a puck drop to get the evening underway.
The capacity crowd of 5,515 were waiting to see the (24-9-5) OSU Buckeyes go to battle against the (25-9-2) Fighting Irish.
