TEMPE, Ariz.— The Arizona State men’s ice hockey program (2-0-0) entered two national polls Monday, following a series sweep of No. 15/13 Merrimack College in Mullet Arena to begin the season.
The Sun Devils now enter the top 20 teams in the nation, ranking No. 18 according to USCHO.com poll and No. 19 according to the USA Hockey/The Rink Live poll.
This is the second time in program history that the Sun Devils have been ranked inside the top 20, when ASU came in at No. 20 in the USCHO.com poll in 2020.
