Notre Dame Helmet Design Concepts -- WOW!

A design team called Empire Graphics produced a couple of Notre Dame helmet concepts and put them out on Twitter...

Got to tell you -- I love them both.

Maybe we could convince Under Armour and Hydro Graphics to design a green helmet like this for the Shamrock Series game at Fenway Park against Boston College -- a "Green Monster" version...

The Longest College Hockey Game in History!

The Compton Family Ice Arena played host last night -- and this morning -- to a 5 OT Hockey East Tournament game between UMASS and our Fighting Irish.

In the end -- a goal by UMASS with 8 minutes and 18 seconds left (1:24 AM ET) of the fifth overtime period -- gave the Minutemen a 4 - 3 win over Notre Dame.  The good news -- it's a best of three series -- so even though they played more than two games of hockey last night, it only counts one...

Notre Dame freshman goalie Cal Petersen set a NCAA record with 87 saves -- in the losing effort.

The two teams are back at it tonight at 7:05 ET.
