NOTRE DAME HOCKEY

Get on the bandwagon now. It's already getting quite full.

The story of the year in the Irish athletic department and college hockey in general is by the far Notre Dame's ascent to the top of the landscape. Just two seasons ago this team suffered (and I mean suffered) to a 5-27-6 record. Fast forward to this season and they are 21-5-2 and ranked second in the nation and lead their conference.

Here's a couple stats that are quite astounding:

- ND is 9-1-1 this year against teams ranked in the Top 15! (maybe Charlie Weis could take note on how to beat nationally ranked team)

- Goalie David Brown is 20-4-2 and leads the nation in wins. He is also one of the leading candidate (if not the leading candidate) for the Hobey Baker award given to the nations top player.

- The Irish are outscoring their opponent by an average of two goals per game which is the second best mark the nation.

With a month left in the regular season the Irish are well on their way to making the NCAA Tournament for just the second time in school history. But more importantly, this team could be on its way to making a run at the National Championship so get on the bandwagon now!
