On Notre Dame Joining Hockey East

"We're very excited to bring the Irish into Hockey East. As everybody is well aware, Notre Dame had its choice of conferences to join. For the Irish to pick Hockey East speaks volumes for what we, as a league, have done in the past and what our future looks like. This also brings a longtime, successful coach - Jeff Jackson - into our group of coaches, which is another big plus. We understand that the league will become that much tougher with Notre Dame as a member. For Boston College, it continues our long-standing rivalry with Notre Dame, though now it's on a league basis."
