      That article made me chuckle, not that it had much substance. ASU going D1 is somehow going to run small schools out of the sport? Just like happened when Penn State joined. Oh, wait, Union won the national title, not any of the big schools. Fear the fork all you who tremble at the thought of ASU hockey!

      As for travel, most folks have to fly to get to schools like Denver and Colorado College, and have for decades. Nothing really very new or different with ASU's situation. But, I guess there'll be a few naysayers about pretty much anything that comes along.

        Colorado should add hockey next and partner with ASU to join a conference.

          Please. There just isn't enough "big" schools who want to play in the icebox. If five more schools out west decide to join ASU only then will I get even remotely concerned with the big schools gobbling up the small schools. You see UMD and Union have done something like win a National Championship that schools like PSU, ASU, UConn have not done yet. I want to see hockey grow around the country and if big schools want to join so be it.

            My sense is that Colorado's athletic program has had a rocky time lately, with the football program in shambles, so I doubt they would give this much thought at least for awhile. I'd personally like to see the University of Arizona go D1 and we'd maintain our local rivalry with them. They used to draw well over 10,000 to games at times when the Wildcats were riding high. Lately ASU has owned them going like 38-1 in recent years against the U of A. Can't say I've heard anything about them going D1, unlike ASU, where there's been chatter for awhile about the possibility.

              Anyone else find it strange that they are not going out and getting a new coach? Would have to think lots of guys would be interested.

                You are saying, "I want nothing to do with this." If you are not purchasing ASU tickets then you have your wish of nothing to do with it. IMO, we need many Power 5 schools to bring down the current small schools who play college hockey.

                  Unless there is an exception. It's happened before with the NCHC and Hockey East.

                    Powers deserves a shot at being a head coach. Even though i think it usually never works out for club coaches moving to D1 with their team. I don't have proof of this though.

                      ASU is better off hiring a high quality assistant coach who has a recruiting background at the Division one level.

                        Or, better yet, they can hire Mike Eaves.

                          I'm ok with giving Powers an initial shot at things, given that he built the club team into a powerhouse in relatively short order. I'd really be ok though it they decided to go a different direction, as it is a big change from running a club program to running a D1 program. I can see the arguments both ways.

                          I am curious to see if having a program where it's 70 degrees and sunny in January helps recruiting. That's obviously one of many factors that go into recruiting players, but I can see that some folks might like the idea of playing hockey at a school with really nice weather through the hockey season.

                            Which would lead to a boring trap style brand of hockey and #60 PWR rankings,not much of an incentive really.
