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

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!

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

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!!

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.

The Michael Schwass Award, Notre Dame Hockey's most prestigious award, is

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. He grew up on the
North side of Chicago and attended Notre Dame from 1998-2002. Brad’s playing
career began at the Express where he played all the way through his Senior year of
high school, with a couple of NIHL and State Championship appearances along the
way. Upon graduation from Notre Dame, he attended Iowa State University where he
was a four year defenseman on the Cyclone Hockey team. Brad’s experience at the
collegiate level took him all over the country, playing high levels of hockey, while
working to get his degree. Brad graduated in 2006 with a degree in Sport
Management. After his playing career at Iowa State, Brad entertained a couple offers
to continue his playing career but ultimately decided on becoming the Hockey Director
for the McFetridge Bulldogs, where he still is today. While serving as the Hockey Director at McFetridge,

Varsity Coaches
Brad Czachor - Cont’d
Brad also served as an assistant and eventually the Head Coach of the Midget Major team at the Express, 20062010. At the Express, they had a lot of success finishing no lower than 3rd in the State. Brad’s tenure with the
Bulldogs has been a successful one, with increasing numbers in the program from 95 to over 200 today. Along
the way he began a girls program, and in house mites program, and also acquired Tier II status and started
fielding teams in NIHL.
Brad is very excited to be a part of the Hockey Program here at Notre Dame and hopes to bring a wealth of
knowledge and experience to the program. He is looking forward to bringing Notre Dame back to the top.
Jim Habetler - Varsity, Assistant Coach
Growing up Jim played for Park Ridge Express. He attended Vermont Academy High
School where he played Varsity Soccer, Hockey and Lacrosse. Jim went on to attend
DePaul University where he played hockey and earned his degree in Secondary
Education with a concentration in Social Science.
Jim’s experience includes coaching Learn to Skate in Park Ridge (4 years) and
coaching a Franklin Park Panthers Mite team. Last season, Jim’s Franklin Park
Panthers Mites earned a spot to play for the Northwest Hockey League
Championship. Currently, Jim is working at Habetler Bowl in Chicago and is excited to
be a part of the Notre Dame Hockey Program.
Laura Anderson - Staff Assistant
Laura, a native of Chicago, has 14 years of experience managing hockey teams. In
addition to serving on the Northern Express BOD for 4 years she was responsible for
scheduling ice for the organization.
Laura, a proud mom, has one son who played for Niles, Express, Maine West and
