Notre Dame
Sr. | F | Livonia, Mich.

His Statistics: 2-5—7, PPG in the Irish’s weekend sweep of Northern Michigan.

His Impact: Last March, Condra went down with an injury in the Fighting Irish’s first playoff series against Ferris State. His teammates rallied to pick up the slack, propelling Notre Dame to within one game of a national title.

Nearly a year later, the Irish are in first place in the CCHA standings and trying to keep Miami and Michigan at bay as they chase their second league regular-season crown. They’re also hampered by injuries to two of their top offensive threats.

Enter Condra, who helped fill the void by netting two goals and five assists in Notre Dame’s sweep of Northern Michigan at the Joyce Center this past weekend. Five of those points — both goals and three assists — came in Friday’s 9-5 romp. His first assist in Saturday’s 5-2 win was the 150th point of his career, becoming the 14th player in school history to reach that plateau. Condra needs five goals to become the 11th Fighting Irish skater to have career totals of 50 or more goals and 100-plus assists. 

His Runners-Up: Ryan Carroll, Harvard; Phil Ginand, Mercyhurst; Brooks Ostergard, Robert Morris; Mark Roebothan, UMass Lowell; Jordan Schroeder, Minnesota
