Arizona Wildcat hockey is back. On Friday evening, the team kicks-off their home opener against the ASU Sun Devils at the Tucson Convention Center.
The Wildcats have some lofty expectations going into this season as they look to knock of their rival at home. Arizona hockey is defined by this particular rivalry and the right to possess the Cactus Cup, the award given to the winner of the season matchups between ASU and Arizona. The cup is currently is possession by the Wildcats after UA won last season’s head-to-head matchups (5-1-1).
The Wildcats come into the new season looking to hold onto the cup and with this team, it looks like that could be a strong possibility.
