Catching The Torch: Jake Evans leads Notre Dame to Big Ten championship

Each week we take an in-depth look at young members of the organization while providing an overview of Habs prospects playing at the junior (OHL, WHL) and collegiate level(USHL, NCAA).

Jake Evans didn't make the shortlist for the Hobey Baker Award, but his importance to Notre Dame can't be overstated. On and off the ice, Evans is a pillar of the Fighting Irish — their leader, and a big reason why the team was able to get through Ohio State and capture the Big Ten title.

Notre Dame played with a shorter bench for most of the game on Saturday.
