BEIJING, China – Sun Devil Hockey began ASU's 2019-20 athletic season Friday night in Beijing with game one of the Renaissance Cup at Ao Zhong Ice Sports Club.
In game one of the tournament, dawning their new adidas China jerseys, ASU outclawed the Kunlun Red Star of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), 5-3, with nine Sun Devils tallying at least a point. Junior forwards Johnny Walker and Filips Buncis, and senior forward Brett Gruber each recorded a goal and an assist.
"It was a lot of fun getting our guys in a competitive atmosphere so early," said head coach Greg Powers.
