SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame hockey program has announced its non-conference opponents for the 2024-25 season, including the team’s first-ever appearance outside North America when they compete at the 2024 Friendship Four in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The home slate features first-time contests with Lindenwood as well as renewed rivalries with Alaska and Long Island University.
The Irish will host the US National Team Development Program for an exhibition contest in Compton Family Ice Arena on October 6 prior to the official start to the 2024-25 season.
The season officially kicks off the following weekend with the team traveling to up state New York to face off against St. Lawrence (Oct. 11) and Clarkson (Oct. 12) before opening the home slate Oct. 18-19 against Alaska.
They close out the opening month of competition Oct. 25-26 when they host Long Island University. The Irish and Sharks have met once previously, a 2021 tilt in which Notre Dame rolled to a 5-2 victory inside CFIA.
Notre Dame then travels across the Atlantic for the Friendship Four where they join Harvard, Merrimack and Boston University in the four-team tournament Nov. 29-30.
The Irish round out their non-conference contests at the end of January when they host Lindenwood, Jan. 24-25. With the Lions now in their third season of NCAA Division I ice hockey, the weekend series will mark the first time the Irish and Lions have met.
