Highlights

Pairwise: #10

  • The Record: ASU finished the season with a 21-13-1 overall record. This was a massive jump from the previous season (8-21-5), representing one of the greatest year-over-year turnarounds in college hockey history.

  • The Penn State Upset: On November 3, ASU went into State College and knocked off No. 6 Penn State 4-3 in overtime. This win was the catalyst for the program’s first-ever national ranking (No. 18) just nine days later.

  • National Ranking: The Sun Devils spent most of the season ranked in the USCHO.com Top 20, peaking at No. 10 in February 2019.
  • Postseason Milestone: As an independent team, ASU earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. They were placed in the Midwest Regional in Allentown, Pennsylvania against Quinnipiac.

  • Joey Daccord: In a truly elite season, Daccord led the nation with 7 shutouts. He posted a .926 save percentage and was a finalist for the Mike Richter Award and a Hobey Baker nominee.

  • Johnny Walker: A scoring machine, Walker finished the season as one of the top goal-scorers in the country, netting 23 goals and totaling 34 points.

  • Demetrios Koumontzis: The Scottsdale native and Calgary Flames draft pick had a standout freshman year with 20 points, proving that high-end talent could stay home in Arizona.
