Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Hockey a varsity sport at Arizona State?

No. Every year the teams strive to be run like a varsity sport, however, we receive no financial support from the university.

Q: So why would anyone want to play Hockey at Arizona State?

There are many good reasons to play at ASU. First, this is a great place to get a college education. ASU consistently ranks among the best for a combination of academics and student life. In addition, as the largest university in the United States, ASU’s diverse alumni body affords many opportunities for internships and post collegiate work well beyond the scope of most other schools.

Q: Does ASU Hockey offer Scholarships or assistance with admissions?

As a ACHA program, the Arizona State Hockey teams do not provide scholarships or have influence over the admissions process. Student-athletes interested in attending Arizona State should contact the admissions office (http://www.asu.edu/admissions ) for application and financial aid information.

Q: What is the practice schedule and how should I setup classes / work to accommodate hockey?

Time management skills are essential to your success at Arizona State if you plan to play hockey.

At ASU, the hockey teams practice on Tuesday's and Thursday's 1:00 -2:15pm with a few weekend day practices when we don’t have a game.  A safe way to schedule classes is ending your academic schedule by 12:00pm and starting again after 3:00pm.   Ending classes as early as possible on Friday also helps accommodate team travel that usually begins Friday mornings.  Most games will be on weekends during the evening. 

Q: What are games and travel like?

Arizona State plays all of its home games at Oceanside.  On the road the team travels by charter buses, or commercial flights and only rental vans if there is no other option.  We want to provide a safe, efficient travel atmosphere that minimizes missed class time and allows our student-athletes to focus on their studies and the game at hand.  The team always presents itself on the road in a manner befitting Arizona State University.

Q: What do I have to do to be eligible to play?
