It’s summer, and while Notre Dame’s hockey team surely is preparing for the 2023-24 season, that’s doesn’t mean a little fun isn’t in order. And that also doesn’t mean the fun has to stay in South Bend. Chicago is the closest big city to the Notre Dame campus, and it’s where many Irish fans live. Add the fact that the Irish have five players from the area, and it only made sense to head out that way:

Specifically, the Irish were at the United Center for the Windy City Smokeout, a festival in which attendees can enjoy a heavy selection of barbecue food and some of the top country music artists around. The festival is taking place over four days, and one of them clearly worked out for the Irish. Here’s hoping everyone there had their fill of food and music. After all, summer comes around only once a year, so it’s best to make the most of it.
