Arizona State hockey will play an away only schedule in 2020-21 with all games against Big Ten opponents.
ASU is a hockey independent and is teaming with the Big Ten for the upcoming season because many schools are playing only within their conference due to COVID-19 restrictions.
"With the national trend of athletic conferences transitioning their schedules to conference only, several of our programs are directly affected and maybe none more than our hockey program as an independent," ASU Vice President for Athletics Ray Anderson said. "We want to thank the Big Ten, commissioner Kevin Warren and the university presidents and athletic directors for lending a hand and coordinating a scheduling arrangement for this season.
