Next season will be the first season at the Division I level for Arizona State University, and on Monday evening, the school's first schedule was leaked.
The full schedule can be seen here.
As expected, the Sun Devils aren't playing a full Division I schedule in their opening year, and most of their games against Division I opponents will take place on the road, but it's a nice opening schedule for the squad.
In total, they will play 23 games against current Division I schools, with 21 of those being on the road, and a pair of home games coming against Yale. Also on the schedule are rival Arizona, D-II Southern New Hampshire University, Canadian school University of Alberta, club teams from Ohio and Liberty University, D-III's Wisconsin-Eau Claire, and a pair of exhibitions against the US NTDP U18 team.
Their season begins on October 3rd with a game against Arizona, with their first Division I games coming a week later when they meet Alaska-Anchorage and Alaska-Fairbanks at the Kendall Hockey Classic in Anchorage, Alaska.
