Hopefully one of the two Notre Dame players will win the Lowes Senior CLASS award...that would be cool.
Good work Beeze.
I think Pearce has a really good shot at it...Double major...3.816 GPA...Dean's list...Best goalie in College Hockey...The National Championship would be nice too.
Thanks tcp.
Kudos to your Irish. Jeff Jackson is, and has been for some time, one of the best coaches in college hockey. As soon as he was hired, I knew the golden domers would shine again ... and have they ever.
afrank, Jackson is a great coach,and he's turned things around faster then anyone expected.
