TEMPE, Ariz. – The Big Ten Conference announced their plan for a conference-only hockey schedule in 2020-21, which will include a scheduling arrangement with Sun Devil Hockey. The agreement provides ASU with four games at each Big Ten school for a total of 28 road games.
The arrangement is just for the 2020-21 season, which will begin as soon as November 13, 2020. Sun Devil Hockey will not be able to qualify for the Big Ten Hockey Tournament.
"With the national trend of athletic conferences transitioning their schedules to conference only, several of our programs are directly affected and maybe none more than our hockey program as an independent," said Vice President for University Athletics Ray Anderson.
