ASU Hockey Home Opener Marred by Ongoing Fallout From Player’s Collapse
ASU’s hockey home opener featured more absences amid an ongoing investigation.
ASU men's hockey team's home opener faced challenges as several key personnel were absent due to ongoing fallout from a preseason workout. The team played Holy Cross at Mullett Arena without head coach Greg Powers, who was placed on paid administrative leave before the game. Assistant coach Alex Hicks was replaced by former Phoenix Coyote Taylor Pyatt.
The absence of Powers and Hicks, along with three other players, raised questions about the team's leadership and the ongoing investigation into the Aug. 20 workout. The Sun Devils lost the game 2-1 to Holy Cross.
