The 9th ranked Arizona State Hockey team opens the season tonight at Oceanside Arena against the University of Arizona Icecats. This is the first of eight meetings between the teams this season.
The Sun Devils, under head coach Greg Powers, are coming off a Top 8 finish in the national tournament last season. Pat Lind is back to captain the team for a third straight season. Coach Powers was able to bring some new talent into the fold, such as Colin Hekle and Dan Styrna.
Coach Powers also brought in new defenders such as Jason Maltese and Darcy Charrois. The Sun Devils went (8-0) against the Icecats last season.
The Icecats are under the direction of head coach Leo Golembiewski. Arizona returns a number of players from last year’s team, including the leading scorer from last season, Brian Slugocki. The Icecats also return Jordan Schupan and Brady Lefferts, who ranked second and fifth among last year’s leading scorers, respectively.
The game starts at 8pm Arizona time at Oceanside Arena. You can listen to the game right here.
