Learn more about your impact
The Joey Daccord Community Impact Fund was established to provide access to hockey related resources, such as game tickets and clinics, for historically underprivileged youth. This community-impact fund, named after Joey Daccord, the first ASU hockey player to sign an NHL entry-level contract, was established to provide support for the Sun Devil Hockey Program at the discretion of the head coach with appropriate donor consultation. Your gift will allow youth to access events they would not be able to access without your help. For example, gifts may enable Valley families with children fighting cancer to attend a Sun Devil Hockey games in a suite in ASU's new Mullett Arena or enable children to attend a hockey clinic. Your generosity will ensure more young people can gain from the full Sun Devil Hockey program experience.
Impact of Donor Support
- The cost for an out-of-state student-athlete to attend ASU for one year is $71,660 on average between tuition, team travel, equipment, sports medicine, food and nutrition and tutoring/academic resources.
- Arizona State ranked No. 1 in the Pac-12 Conference for the second year in a row in 2023 for Academic Progress Rating which tracks achievement in the classroom year over year ahead of Stanford, Cal, USC and UCLA.
- Some more metrics that show just how much these hard-working student-athletes have achieved with your support: 3.3 average GPA (fall 2022), 76% of student-athletes received “Scholar Baller” status (3.0 GPA or higher), 110 student-athletes with a 4.0 GPA and 138 Academic All-Americans since 2000, which ranks second in the Pac-12 during that stretch.
