Former Ice Hawk, Nick Condon commits to Notre Dame-

Former Minnesota Ice Hawks defenseman Nick Condon has committed to the University of Notre Dame (CCHA) for the 2008-09 season.  Condon, from Wausau, Wis., played with the Ice Hawks during the 2005-06 season.

Now in his second NAHL season, Condon, 21, has three goals for 36 points in 49 games this year for the St. Louis Bandits.

"Nick is a great kid," said Ice Hawks coach Nick Fatis. "He's had to work pretty hard to get past the stigma of being too small to play D-I hockey, so it's nice to see him get that brass ring.

"The Fighting Irish are getting a great player and even a better young man in Nick Condon. I wish him luck and look forward to seeing him skate in the gold and blue."
