It's Time To Recognize Arizona State As A Serious Hockey School

As we move into the new year we inch closer and closer to the NCAA Hockey Tournament in April, where 6 conference champions along with the next best 10 teams chosen by the NCAA committee are admitted to compete for the title of National Champion. ASU has bested many historically great teams like Michigan State, Penn State, earned their spot at #15. If they hold steady until the end of the season the question will arise, will ASU be chosen to compete in the tournament?

As Sun Devil fans, we would hope so, but looking back on the season so far, it's clear that if they don't make it this year, they will soon. Just by becoming a nationally ranked team, that automatically makes them a great target school for hockey players across North America looking to play collegiate hockey, but two things currently stand in the way.

At the moment, the Sun Devil's lack a proper arena, but Ray Anderson, Vice President of ASU Athletics, expects an on-campus multi-purpose ice arena to be built by November of 2020, but more information is yet to be heard. Additionally, the Sun Devil's aren't currently in a collegiate hockey conference. At the moment, ASU is Independent but could land in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference or the Western Collegiate Hockey Association in the near future. At this point, the only way to go is up for the Sun Devils and everything is falling into place.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
