Friends of NDHC! Please consider taking 2 minutes to donate $10! The link is below!

Please help our club get a portion of the ND day challenge fund by clicking the link we just posted and donating $10 to NDHC. $10 gets you five votes, and will result in about a 10x multiplying effect from the challenge fund.

The voting is the important part, as it gets us a larger slice of the $1,000,000 Challenge fund.

Our budget has increased dramatically in the last two years, from around $30k to over $50k, resulting in a greater financial burden on players and parents.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

ND Hockey hosts rival Michigan this weekend for a weekend Saturday and Sunday series at Compton.
Saturday the two will play at 8:30 PM on the Olympic rink to be followed Sunday by a matinee at 4:30 PM.

Also, for those unaware, after each game, the previous game's MVP traditionally presents the MVP with "the Yeti."
Enjoy this picture of Captain Clutch enjoying the Yeti post-win today.

As a great birthday present to Head Coach, Brad Gendel, the Irish took the series finale this morning in Madison.
The Irish fell 2-0 early, and Captain Joe Salvi buried one on a rebound to cut it to 2-1.

The Badgers put another one in in the 2nd, and Chris Rectenwald followed it up on a picked off pass to make it 3-2.

With 10 left in the 3rd, Peter Mark buried on a slap-shot from the point on the Power Play to tie it up.

Almost 4 minutes into OT, Captain Clutch Joe Salvi finished on another rebound to give the Irish the win.

The Irish will return after Christmas Break to face rival Michigan at home.

Merry Christmas and Eat your Greens!

On a side note, congratulations to our fearless leader, Brad Gendel.
Due to early onset male pattern baldness, he continues to not age. Congratulations Brad!
