Season
editFor the program's fourth year as a varsity squad, the Sun Devils produced their first winning record. The team also was ranked by both national polls for the first time and made its first ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Goaltender Joey Daccord became the first Sun Devil ever selected as an AHCA All-American. After Arizona State had finished its season, Daccord also became the first alumni to appear in an NHL game after signing with the Ottawa Senators.
