Lately, we’ve been talking a lot about Notre Dame benefiting from the transfer portal. They recently added two defensemen for the 2022-23 season in Drew Bavaro and Ben Brinkman. Now, the Irish have a new outlet for scoring to look forward to thanks to the addition of forward Jackson Pierson from New Hampshire.
In four seasons with the Wildcats, Pierson scored 88 points, including 31 goals, in 115 games over four years. As a senior, he served as an alternate captain. His 24 points from the past season would have tied him for seventh on the Irish. Hockey East also honored him with the Len Ceglarski Individual Sportsmanship Award.
Pierson also is returning to his home state as he hails from Zionsville, a suburb of Indianapolis. His family also has a history of college sports in Indiana as Todd, his father, was a baseball player at Purdue. Let’s hope for the Irish’s sake, those athletic genes will pay off for them.
