Notre Dame’s Ryan Bischel is Big Ten’s First Star of the Week

The Irish are killing it on the ice right now.

For the third week in a row, a Notre Dame player has been named one of the Big Ten’s Stars of the Week. This time, it’s Ryan Bischel taking home the honor, and he’s the conference’s First Star of the Week. This comes after back-to-back weeks of Ryder Rolston and Spencer Stastney getting the Third Star. Bischel is joined this week by Second Star Mason Lohrei of Ohio State and Third Star Carl Fish of Minnesota.

Bischel won both starts against Penn State over the past weekend, making 67 out of a possible 69 saves. The second game saw him make 35 saves for the shutout. That brought him to a 10-4-0 record, a .930 save percentage and a conference-leading GAA of 1.93.

This is the second time an Irish player has been named the Big Ten First Star of the Week. Max Ellis earned the honor Nov. 23.

The Irish continue their season Thursday and Friday at Wisconsin.

Two future Ohio State hockey players taken in 2020 NHL Draft

Two future Ohio State hockey players were taken in the 2020 NFL Draft. Mason Lohrei and Jakub Dobeš both heard their names called.

They don’t just play football and basketball at Ohio State, the hockey program is pretty good too.

In case you lost track — and really who could blame you with everything going on — the 2020 NHL Draft took place Wednesday night. And amid all the pomp and virtual circumstance, there were two future Buckeye hockey players taken.

Signees Mason Lohrei was taken by the Boston Bruins in the second as the No. 58 overall selection, and he was followed by Jakub Dobeš, who went in the fifth round at pick No. 136 overall to the Montreal Canadians.

According to a release from Ohio State, that makes 55 Ohio State players that have been taken all-time in the NFL entry draft. Of those, three were taken in the first round — R.J. Umburger in 2001 at No. 16, Ryan Kesler at No. 23 in 201, and David Steckel at No. 30, also in 2001.

Since these are future Ohio State players, the university provided a little background on the two.
