This is your friendly reminder that “Onward to Victory: Notre Dame Hockey” will air tonight at 9:30pm EST on Versus (soon to be the NBC Sports Network). And after the horrid excuse for a football game that was the Champs Sports Bowl, any escape from thinking about ND football is definitely welcome at this point.
As discussed in this week’s Pre-Snap Read, the show will cover the roots of the Irish hockey program, the emergence of the program as a national power, the building of the Compton Family Ice Arena, and the opening game in said arena, an OT thriller against the Boston College Eagles.
I can’t stress enough how great this program is. I’ve been fortunate to get an advance screening of the program and it is simply fantastic. This is a much watch for anyone that truly bleeds blue and gold.
If you want a hockey double-dose, be sure to watch Notre Dame take on Boston University beforehand at 7pm EST on Versus. Seriously, a nationally televised regular season college hockey game, that just doesn’t happen everyday.
Be sure to check out the preview on Youtube to see the greatness that you are in store for tonight. Have a happy and safe New Year!

Great game for the hockey team tonight, followed by a fantastic documentary/one hour commercial for ND Hockey.
Happy 2012 to all!
“Seriously, a nationally televised regular season college hockey game, that just doesn’t happen everyday.”
No, but it does happen every weekend. 😛
In addition to at least one more appearance on NBC Sports, ND will be appearing frequently on CBS-CS this spring, which is nothing new: that network has been a virtual home of ND hockey in previous seasons.
And this Saturday night, the Big Ten Network will broadcast the second game of our two-game series against Minnesota.
Live in Canada – we get NBC but I cannot find NBC sports. How can watch the entire 1 hour show?
