Arizona State (9-10-1, 4-5-1 NCHC) will play host to the 7th edition of the Desert Hockey Classic this weekend, a tournament that began in the Sun Devils' first season at the Division 1 level in 2015-16.

This season's edition brings two familiar participants; Michigan Tech in their third appearance and looking for their third title, and Air Force competing for their second time.
