2 October, 2013 Dear Notre Dame Hockey Don, Hockey requires a great deal of dedication! Dedication to practice, leads to the best physical shape; Dedication to academics, leads to the best mental shape and Dedication of self leads to the best self-esteem, strength and faith. I am most grateful to your parents for their dedication and support of you. Coaches please dedicate yourselves to being the best leaders and teachers of these young men. Together all of our dedication will lead to a successful 2013-2014 season! Through Our Lady, Notre Dame, Rev. John P. Smyth President 3 October 8, 2013 Dear Notre Dame Hockey Fans: I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding representation of our school demonstrated by the student-athletes, coaches, parents, and friends of the Notre Dame hockey program. Our school is blessed to be able to offer such a terrific program thanks to the terrific program supporters and boosters. On the ice, in the stands, and always, we hope you continue to demonstrate the values of the Notre Dame community by cheering on our teams. Having had a chance to see the Stanley Cup at Notre Dame for the second time in four years, we’ve been able to see the reward for hard work, excellence, and preparation as demonstrated by the Chicago Blackhawks. Let’s hope that some of those excellent characteristics rubbed off on our program so that the Dons can bring home their own championship trophy. The support of parents, relatives, friends, and alumni of our hockey program is instrumental to the team’s success. The early mornings and late nights are indicative of the hard work and community support that are required to be successful. Thanks to all of you who have helped contribute to the hockey program. We all have much to be thankful for, and the blessings that have been bestowed upon the hockey team are many. We pray for the safety and best effort of all the competitors. Good luck to you Dons! Go out and make us proud of you. Go Dons! Daniel Tully Principal 4 October, 2013 On behalf of the Notre Dame College Prep Community, I want to wish the ND Hockey Teams the Best of Success for the 2013-14 season. ND Hockey is one of our premier programs, recognized for excellent play and stout sportsmanship. This tough, fast -pace game embodies hard work and dedication, and that is what our players, coaches and parents all bring to the ND Hockey Program. We look forward to a great year for Coach Czachor and the ND Ice-Dons. Come on out and support ND Hockey. Take Care, Mike Hennessey Athletic Director 5 Notre Dame Hockey Fans, The Notre Dame Athletic Club would like to wish the ND Ice Dons a winning season!! We would also like to invite all to come join us at our monthly meetings which are listed on the school calendar. Athletic Club Facts: The Club is made up of current and alumni parents of Notre Dame students/athletes. The Club was resurrected in 2005 in an effort to provide the Athletic Department with additional monies to fund all Athletic Programs at Notre Dame. The goal is to provide coaches with what they need to help our athletes be the best they can be. Top 4 Reasons why The Athletic Club is so great: The Club has raised over $800,000 in the past eight years to supply additional financial support to the Athletic Programs. Funds are raised thru a variety of fundraising efforts: Football Frenzy, Annual Fashion Show, Concessions, Ad Books and donations. Monies have been spent to provide needed items for all Notre Dame Sport Teams. For example: Notre Dame Buses Weight room equipment Locker room improvements The purchases authorized by The Club, in fact, benefit the entire school, not just the Athletic Programs. We are always looking for new ideas to continue to help raise money for our athletes. To do this, we need YOU! Join us and get involved in the Notre Dame Athletic Club Family. It's a great way to meet other parents, exchange ideas, and help make Notre Dame the best!! GO ICE DONS! 6 Teamwork makes the dream work!! Good luck ICE Dons!! Notre dame athletic club 7 Notre Dame Hockey Michael Schwass Award #21 Michael Schwass was a co-captain of the Notre Dame High School 1975-1976 Illinois State Champions and one of the top prep hockey players in the State. In December, 1975, a check from behind resulted in his crashing into the end boards, rendering him quadriplegic. While the team went on to capture the title, Michael went on to achieve other victories. Befriended and encouraged by Chicago Blackhawks great, Keith Magnuson, he challenged beliefs about what was possible with a spinal cord injury. While it took him six years of fierce dedication to take that first step, Michael became the first quadriplegic to walk again without the aid of braces. He went on to inspire disabled and able-bodied alike as a motivational speaker, therapist, and life coach. He earned a master’s degree in social work and created a private practice to help disabled and ablebodied clients. His autobiography, Don't Blame the Game, outlines the principles he employed to maintain his motivation and focus. His grace, dignity and strength of character were an example for all while enduring great suffering. In addition to the Notre Dame Michael Schwass Award and other honors, the Blackhawk Cup High School Most Valuable Player Award was renamed in his honor. Michael's #21 was retired by Notre Dame Hockey in 2006 and he passed away in 2010. Don’t Blame the Game is available for purchase on Amazon.com as well as the Notre Dame Bookstore. 8 The Michael Schwass Award, Notre Dame Hockey's most prestigious award, is named in honor of the late Notre Dame Hockey All-Star, Mike Schwass '76. The award combines academic excellence, courage, skill and team leadership. The Michael Schwass Award Winners For Scholarship, Courage and Skill: 2008 - Michael Giangrand 2009 - Anthony Fabris 2010 - Ryan Zanon 2011 - David Fabris 2012 - Vince Pergande 2013 - Brendan Golden and Nick Yzaguirre 9 Want to Play?

Alex Lauricella Notre Dame Thanksgiving Tournament Mike Littau 91 Varsity Coaches Bart Czachor - Varsity, Head Coach The 2013-2014 campaign will mark Bart Czachor’s 2nd season guiding the Notre Dame Ice Don’s hockey fortunes. The veteran coach owns a resume with success at the travel level, coaching Midget hockey and also serving as Hockey Director. Throughout his coaching career, Czachor’s teams have been successful both on and off the ice, and the hope is he can continue to deliver those same results for the Ice Dons. Over the past 16 seasons (at Notre Dame, Northern Express Hockey Organization and the McFetridge Bulldogs) Czachor has built some of the winningest programs around. The teams have captured several NIHL championships, along with three 2nd place finishes at the Midget level in the State championships, and other 3rd and 4th place finishes in State. Czachor has had several players go on to play at the College and Junior level programs. This season presents an interesting challenge for Czachor and his program. Building on last year’s improvement Bart hopes to develop an even greater identity for competing in the Catholic League.”I think we have gone through a lot of highs and lows last year. We’re looking for more consistency. The Dons need to continue to play with poise and discipline, relying on strong goaltending and improved defensive play.” With the help of assistant coaches Brad Czachor (‘02) and Jimmy Habetler, he hopes to continue to change the team’s attitude and perception of the game. Czachor wants to continue to change the culture to lay down the foundation for future seasons and the recruiting trail. He’d like the Ice Dons’ hockey team to be one of the elite teams in the state in the near future and help advance each player to the next level of performance, wherever that may be. “I am committed to this program and the kids involved with it”. We hope to not only develop hockey players but develop student athletes with great character. We will continue to strive for success and ultimate goal of a State championship. Bart graduated from St. John’s Military Academy and then Lakeland College, with degrees in Sociology, Business Administration and Physical Education, where he also played hockey, football and baseball. He and his wife Kelly have three children; Brad, Erin and Ryan. Both sons are former ND students- Brad ’02 and Ryan ‘12 Brad Czachor - Varsity, Assistant Coach Brad is very excited about joining the Notre Dame Hockey Program.
