SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The Fighting Irish hockey team continues its six-game homestand this weekend when they host Robert Morris for a two-game series inside Compton Family Ice Arena. The series will mark the second between the two programs, having previously met for a set of home-and-home games during the 2006-07 season.
Puck drop for Friday’s game is set for 7:05pm. The Irish and Colonials close out the weekend series Saturday with a 6:05pm start, presented by Allegiant.
The Irish are coming off a weekend sweep of St. Lawrence which saw Catalino Family Head Hockey Coach record his first career win behind the Notre Dame bench, and 14 individuals highlighted the box score. A series in which the Irish put up 11 goals, off the stick of nine different individuals, Nicholas Kempf also recorded his first career shutout as he stopped 45 consecutive shots, including 26 saves in game two en route to the blanking.
Notre Dame concludes the homestand at the end of the month when they open Big Ten Conference play against longtime foe Michigan, October 31-November 1. The Irish will recognize Ralph M. DiVietro Associate Hockey Coach Andy Slaggert Friday night as he bids farewell to his time on staff after 33 seasons to pursue an opportunity in professional hockey. Saturday’s contest against the Wolverines will be the team’s Live Like Rudy game, honoring the memory of longtime friend of the program and honorary teammate, Rudy Chapman, who lost his battle with Ewing Sarcoma in late July.
