    Not a fan, but with 10 years in the ACHA I'm pretty familiar with the program and Coach Greg Powers.

      I wonder how many teams tripped over themselves trying to contact ASU for non-conference scheduling in the next two years...
      That was the same game plan for PSU until the B10 decided to start the conference a year early.

        At least one here. I'd guess that more will appear over time as the program gets going. Probably not many USC or Texas A&M hockey fans posting here either right now, given that they don't have programs either. Give it time.

          I don't --- Greg Powers is a very good coach and I think that he could handle the varsity program. JMHO

          I hope so Bob -- sure has happened with PSU "fans".

              Found out on GPL that ASU isn't AAU. So it's going to have to be the WCHA or the NCHC. (as if that wasn't already known.(

                  The B1G has been known to make exceptions.

                  Not that they would end up in the B1G anyway.

                    To be fair, one of those exceptions had AAU membership but lost it on what sounds like a disputed rating system. Nebraska, as we have all found out, apparently has a world-class medical system when it comes to infectious diseases. If that was somehow excluded from their ranking, I'd be upset too.

                    The other was freaking Notre Dame.


                    As far as I know, ASU is neither of those.

                      Oh sure, since it is such rocket science to recruit "at the Division one level".

                        It's not but having connections like Mike Guentzel has would do wonders in Tempe.
                        Slap Shot - 444 might want to consider a restraining order.
                        dggoddard - Minnesota is THE ELITE Program in all of college hockey.

                          The NCHC did not get an exemption. They had enough teams that played together for the amount of years to qualify.

                            I disagree, not just anybody can recruit at the D1 level. It takes a lot skill to find the right mix of kids.

                            The Herb Brooks National Hockey Center..... I wonder who originally came up with that.

                              Agreed. I don't understand this idea that recruiting is easy
