An announcement was made today that the Notre Dame Fighting Irish hockey team, due to a number of COVID-19 positive tests, will no longer compete in the 2021 NCAA Tournament. The decision was made in accordance with the Albany County Public Health Department and the NCAA Medical Advisory Group. The positive cases come from Notre Dame’s Tier I testing group, which is defined by the NCAA as “student-athletes, coaches, athletic trainers and physical therapists, medical staff, equipment staff, and officials”.
Devastated to have our season end this way.
We will not be competing in the NCAA Tournament due to COVID-19 protocols.
