Re: Arizona State Moving To D1

Knowing ASU's party and reputation with the ladies, it wouldnt surprise me if Dan Bilzerian tried to get a commitment from ASU hockey.
He'd be the 4th line goon

Great to see the roster building quickly.

I am fearful that you can't build a program as quickly as ASU hopes.... and I think that a proven D1 AC or HC would have been the way to start.... but time will tell.

It certainly is interesting to not have a single coach with D1 coaching experience. They added Alex Hicks as an assistant, he did play in the NHL for a handful of years.

According to this, they now have 4 assistants. Wonder who's going to get let go?

I wonder if: A. They don't know what the rules are or B. it doesn't apply to them as a club team until 2 years from now.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1

My understanding is even though Powers has been named head coach, the assistants won't necessarily carry over to the D-1 team. I'd expect one coach from the club team to be hired and one coach from outside the program to be the two assistants.

This program can only go up as the transition to D1 will only be one step at a time With two more years as a club team they have plenty time to grow. Look at PSU.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1

Is that true that the NCHC has been heavily recruiting ASU. If true does that mean another Minnesota team may be leaving the WCHA in the near future.
