      Yeah, but did any of that include everything you would need for the ice plant to keep the ice on the floor??

          So you've talked to the players and know their reasons for joining Arizona State, or are you simply assuming? Be careful about what you assume. For many, it could simply mean an opportunity to gain more ice time as opposed to being buried on the depth chart. I mean, if warm winter weather and some pretty girls are the main reasons for transfer, shouldn't they be lining up for Huntsville?

            Desert Hockey Classic games are officially going to be at Gila River Arena in Glendale. As well as one game against the University of Arizona ACHA team and one game against the USDP U-18 team. The January 5th game against UConn will be at Oceanside Ice Arena.

            Desert Hockey Classic first games will be ASU vs. Yale and Michigan Tech vs. UConn, followed by a consolation game and tournament final.

            Also the Salary information for Greg Powers was released and he will apparently be making $250K per year for the next 5 years.

              MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

                    That would still be an absolute shocker to me if they joined the big ten.

                        That tweet says "BIG games coming in 2016-17." I doubt it's meant to be a hint at B1G games. Maybe one or two Big Ten opponents. But not a hint of a league choice. Arizona has stated they will play an independent schedule in 2016-17 and join a league in 2017-18. They could've chosen to accelerate that, but I doubt it.

                          they won't be joining the WCHA neither (would require them to fork out travel subsidies), so that kind of narrows it down.

                            To me, too.

                            I've spoken my piece on why I think the Big 10 never adds a hockey affiliate, earlier in this thread:

                            My opinion has not changed.

                              If this was the world's least veiled hint, I would have to guess this would just be a contract to play rather than any kind of membership.

                                Delaney was ask this question at the B1G media days last week....along the lines of affiliate members like Johns Hopkins in lacrosse. He said they are willing to take each instance on its own, especially in cases where the school is located in markets where BTN is carried and there is a large B1G alumni population.

                                Well, BTN is carried in metro Phoenix and there might be more B1G alumni here than PAC12 alumni.........it at least seems that way.

                                ASU would easily draw 2-3K fans from Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Penn State to games out here, maybe more. OSU would be the only outlier......and you would get a decent Buckeye turnout if their team had a pulse.

                                They won't get that from CC or Denver or St Cloud or Omaha......UND would be the only NCHC team that would bring in significant outside fans.

                                Also, If they are paying their first year coach 250K....I don't think they are too worried about travel costs and staying close to the Colorado schools.
