The Colorado Buffaloes represent the University of Colorado Boulder in men's ice hockey. The team has been a University sanctioned sport club since the 1970's, when the first ice rink on campus was built. The rink was rebuilt adjacent to Folsom Field in 2013.

Also in 2013, Colorado and their rival, Colorado State, became ACHA Division I teams, as founding members of the Western Collegiate Hockey League. An annual rivalry match between the teams typically takes place in Denver, as the state capital of each and the home of neither; in this way, the game mimics the football program's Rocky Mountain Showdown.

History
Hockey began as a sport at Arizona State in the fall of 1973 with ASU students gathering at Tower Ice Plaza in Central Phoenix to play pick up hockey amongst each other. As collegiate club hockey evolved throughout the country, so did hockey at Arizona State. By the late 80's ASU was fielding a full-fledged ice hockey team competing in Division II of the American Collegiate Hockey Association. In 1993, General Manager Mike Hoffarth led the program to achieving ACHA Division I status propelling the Sun Devil hockey program into the national spotlight by qualifying for the ACHA Division I National Tournament just two years later in the 1995–96 season. Then Head Coach, Gene Hammett would lead the program to three straight National Tournament appearances from 1995–1998. ASU has qualified for 10 ACHA Division I National Tournaments since competing at the Division I level in the American Collegiate Hockey Association, and developed 12 ACHA Division I All-Americans. In the 2013–2014 season the team won its first ACHA National Championship, defeating Robert Morris University-Illinois. In the 2015-2016 NCAA hockey season ASU played their first split schedule between ACHA Division 1 and NCAA Division 1 teams, marking their first transition year to become a full-time NCAA Division 1 hockey team. In March of 2019 ASU became that fastest team to transition to NCAA Division 1 and make the NCAA Tournament, doing it in just 3 season.

Arena
The Sun Devils have continued play most of their home games at the Oceanside Ice Arena, though they play a few games each season at Glendale's Gila River Arena, home of the NHL's Arizona Coyotes. Following the Sun Devils' move to the NCAA, Oceanside underwent extensive renovations that expanded the capacity to 840 and gave the facility a facelift in ASU colors.

The future home facility had been uncertain as ASU Athletic Director Ray Anderson continued to weigh options, including further renovations to Oceanside Ice Arena or some other off-campus location. Eventually, ASU joined the ownership of the Coyotes in that team's plans for a new arena. In November 2016, the Coyotes announced plans to build a new arena in Tempe, with the project also including a secondary 4,000-seat arena that would be home to the Sun Devils. The new arena was seen as aiding the Sun Devils' bid to join an established hockey conference; the lack of a dedicated arena was reportedly one issue that led the NCHC to turn down a membership bid from ASU earlier in the year. The Coyotes' plans for the new arena have stalled due to lack of funding.

Prior to that, Powers had a 164-27-9 record during his five seasons as the head man behind the Devils' bench in the ACHA including a dominating 39-1-0 record against rival Arizona. Prior to taking over as the head coach, Powers spent two seasons as an assistant coach for ASU.
