Playing career
O'Donoghue attended Mercyhurst University where he played four seasons of NCAA Division I hockey with the Mercyhurst Lakers, who competes in the Atlantic Hockey Association (AHA). In his senior year, O'Donoghue's outstanding play was rewarded when he was selected to the 2013–14 Second All-Conference Team and was named the AHA's Top Defensive Forward.[1]
