If there's already a dedicated thread, I somehow missed it and apologize for the duplicate.
ASU's hockey program is in the middle of some pretty exciting times. They have a new arena coming, and they've amazingly improved their program so much in such a short while, that they are hanging right in with some top D1 programs.
So far this season they've tied Michigan St. once, defeated Wisconsin twice, and Notre Dame once. They're facing Penn State and Ohio State next. To me, this is remarkable. I can't believe ASU has become this credible this quickly. A few years back they were a club team. Then they were doing a mixed D1 schedule. Only a few years ago I was amazed when they managed not to get blown out by the types of programs they're actually beating today.
I'm not an ASU alumni and I don't really care about any of the other ASU athletics programs. But I think even U of A graduates who are hockey fans should be supporting this ASU program. Really an amazing local underdog story.
I'm excited that Craig Morgan has been providing a ton of coverage for the ASU team. There seem to be more an more televised games, too, I've already been able to catch a Notre Dame and a Wisconsin game this season.
I am hoping we have some posters on this forum that follow the team closely. I'd love to see some real discussion around here about this program. I'm ready to become a full-blown fan of this team.
Who's with me?!?!?!
