With the 2024-25 season barely underway for the Notre Dame hockey team, a prestigious honor already has been awarded. Specifically, the award has been given to sophomore forward [autotag]Cole Knuble[/autotag], the son of former NHL player Mike Knuble.
The Big Ten has announced its second Three Stars of the Week for the season, and Knuble has been named the First Star. He earned the honor after picking up four points, including three goals, over the Irish’s first two regular-season games against St. Lawrence and Clarkson.
Joining Knuble this week are Second Star Connor Kurth of Minnesota and Third Star Charlie Stramel of Michigan State.
Through two games, Knuble’s four points have tied him for the Irish lead in scoring. Also with that total is senior forward [autotag]Justin Janicke[/autotag], who picked up three of his four points on assists. Nobody on the team besides those two has more than two points so far:
First weekend. First star ⭐️
