NDCP HOCKEY ALL-STARS NAMED

NDCP Alumni Game 2025 RECAP

(Dec. 21, 2025) Notre Dame College Prep Hockey held its annual Alumni Game at Heartland Ice Arena in Lincolnwood, IL.  A record amount of Dons took part in the event, with two teams of 20 alumni, spanning from graduating years of 1975 to 2025.  The action on the ice was strong, as many players are still active in the hockey community, including various collegiate, club and rec league players. 

Each year a trophy is awarded to the winning team (BLUE or GREEN), this year going to Alumni Blue for their victory.  Players gathered after the event for an evening of bonding.

Highschool hockey is more than just a sport - it's a brotherhood and a lifetime bond.  The community of NDCP Ice Dons has hundreds of alumni and we'd like to hear from you.

NDCP Alumni, fill out this brief form so we can keep in touch! 

Ice Dons Day of Service 2025 - Misericordia

(Dec. 14 2025) As stated in the mission of Notre Dame College Prep, Dons represent people that respect and have compassion for the community as well as those with differences in culture, learning ability and physical challenges.  To that end, a cornerstone tradition of the NDCP Hockey Program each year has been centered around community service - a chance for our athletes to give back and focus on developing off the ice.

Our 2025 club volunteered their time at Misericordia Heart of Mercy in Chicago, a leading community of care to maximize persons with mild to profound disabilities. Our players, staff and parents served Misericordia's annual Christmas Brunch to community members and family.  From the kitchen, to the wait staff and cleaning crew, our Ice Dons put away the gloves and got their hands dirty for a good cause.

Being a Don is about more than winning.  It's about becoming the best possible person you can be.  About putting faith into action giving service to society.
