Arizona State University has appointed Dave Hakstol as the new head coach of its hockey program. Hakstol, a former NHL head coach and most recently an assistant with the Colorado Avalanche, succeeds Greg Powers, who has announced his resignation from the position.
The leadership transition occurs while the university conducts an investigation into an outdoor workout incident that resulted in a player being placed on life support. The circumstances surrounding the resignation of Powers and the timing of the coaching change are linked to the ongoing review of the program's training practices.
