My son, who plays youth hockey, and I had the privilege of touring the Notre Dame locker room. Very similar in appearance and amenities for the players. He eventually was able to play a game on Notre Dame ice. It was a fantastic experience. This was an awesome piece. Great job. What I love is how much this player loves his team, coach, his family, his church, and is so humble at the same time. Respect!✊

I came to the comments to say this similar thing. Notre Dame has a very similar lockerroom to the North Dakota lockerroom. I dare say, a tad better. Along with the commenter in this thread, I too play at Compton Arena on thursdays for the beer league. At the end of the season, the teams and family members get the opportunity to tour the lockerroom. I wish I could post pictures here but it is quite an impressive experience.

I forget how old I was but I went to a camp there for a week. Boarded at the university which was super cool and we got worked by the current players. It was such a cool experience. Unfortunately the arena didn't look like this when I was there. I mean the walls and history was but the skill room was different. I think the weight room was the same but I don't remember the other room attached. I think we saw the lockerroom but it wasn't this one that's for sure. Saw a lot of cool things and definitely an experience I'll never forget
