TEMPE, Ariz. --- It was 1,587 days between the day Vice President for University Athletics Ray Anderson and Sun Devil Athletics announced men's hockey would make the transition to NCAA Division I and the announcement of the Sun Devils were heading to their first-ever NCAA Tournament.
Saturday night, the fastest startup program in Division I history to qualify for the tournament takes the ice in Allentown as the No. 3 seed to face off against No. 2 seed Quinnipiac at PPL Arena.
"Everything we were working towards as a new program and the vision from the get go becomes a reality Saturday night," said head coach Greg Powers.
