Former Notre Dame captain nets first career NHL goal

Props to Steven Fogarty for his first NHL goal!

Former Notre Dame hockey star Steven Fogarty played for the Fighting Irish from the 2012-13 season through 2015-16 and captained the team for his final two years.

Since graduating from Notre Dame, Fogarty played in the New York Rangers system and skated in 18 games over the past three seasons.  Fogarty signed a free-agent deal with the Buffalo Sabres last fall and was recently brought up to the big-squad.

On Wednesday night with the Sabres taking on the Philadelphia Flyers, Fogarty did something he never had previously in his NFL career:

Notre Dame Hockey: O’Leary Signs With Hartford

Notre Dame barely has finished skating for 2019-20, and already, someone on the past season’s team is getting a professional opportunity.

Notre Dame barely has finished skating for 2019-20, and already, someone on the past season’s team is getting a professional opportunity. Mike O’Leary has signed a contract with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL. He will be joining fellow former Irish forward Steven Fogarty on the Wolf Pack’s roster.

O’Leary, who will graduate from the Mendoza College of Business in May with a Management Consulting degree, is coming off a season in which he recorded a career-high 23 points. He had a hot start to the season in October, sharing the national lead with Cal Burke in points (2.75) and assists (1.75) a game. He had multiple points in all four games the Irish played during that month, finishing it with 11 points and being involved with the game-winning goal in three of the four games.

O’Leary was a member of three Notre Dame teams that won three Big Ten titles. He finished his collegiate career with 57 points, including 20 goals, in 151 games.
