Arizona finished its regular season with a 23-12-2 record, highlighted by their Cactus Cup victory of rivals Arizona State. The Wildcats finished third this season in the Western Collegiate Hockey League.

Freshman Anthony Cusanelli, who led the Wildcats in goals and points this season, was this past week awarded five regular-season honors by the Western Collegiate Hockey League: WCHL Most Valuable Player, WCHL All-League First Team, WCHL Rookie of the Year, WCHL All-Rookie Team, and the WCHL Sportsmanship Award.

Arizona’s last appearance in the ACHA National Tournament was in 2016, where the team won its opening game in overtime to secure its first win in the tournament in more than a decade.

Arizona seeks its second hockey National Championship. It won its first hockey national title in 1985.

MEDIA ACCESS NOTE: Arizona Hockey media director Timothy Gassen will travel with the team to Columbus. Gassen will be available to handle all media requests on-site at the 2018 ACHA National Tournament.
