Here Come The Irish -- NCAA Frozen Four!

Jeff Jackson's "young" Fighting Irish moved one step closer to Notre Dame's first national championship in hockey last night with a 2 - 1 win over New Hampshire in Manchester, NH.  The win means the Irish get to travel to the NCAA Frozen Four -- April 7th in Saint Paul, MN -- to take on another "home state" team as they play Minnesota Duluth in the National Semi-Final game.  ND goalie Mike Johnson had 37 saves and Billy Mayday scored the game winner with 5 seconds left in the second period.  Here's some video from last night's game from our friends at UND.COM and some of the game stories.  GO IRISH!
