Notre Dame, Wisconsin Play League Game For 1st Time In 36 Years

They used to be fierce rivals — maybe they will be again. When the fourth-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish come to the Kohl Center for a weekend series it will be the first time the two teams have met in a league game since 1981.  That’s when the Fighting Irish left the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.  The last non-conference game between the two was in 2011.  Notre Dame brings a pretty solid team into tonight’s (Friday’s) matchup.  The Irish are riding an 11-game winning streak and they have an unblemished 8-0 record in Big Ten Conference games.  The puck drops at 8:00 p-m at the Kohl Center.
