The Minnesota Golden Gophers hockey team will look to keep their season alive and spoil the luck of the Irish on St. Patrick’s Day weekend when they play Notre Dame in a Big Ten Hockey Semifinal Saturday night. The winner advances to the Big Ten Championship game next weekend—the loser’s season is probably over.
Minnesota advanced to the semifinals after a sweep of Michigan in their best-of-three series at Mariucci Arena last weekend. The Gophers are riding a season long five game winning streak into South Bend as they try and keep a run to the NCAA Tournament alive.
