All eight games will take place at Compton Family Ice Arena on the campus of Notre Dame. The Irish play Wisconsin, Arizona State, Ohio State, and Michigan State, with two matchups against each school taking place on varying weekend nights.

Ties to the Blackhawks

The Chicago Blackhawks have drafted several players from Notre Dame over the past few years. The most recent Fighting Irish player drafted by the Blackhawks is South Bend native, Landon Slaggert.
