GCU Hockey teams ‘refinalize’ schedules after AZ Ice Arcadia storm closure

10 games rescheduled with new sites/times/dates as ‘home ice’ rebuilds

Due to damage to their "home ice" of AZ Ice Arcadia 10 days ago, the three Grand Canyon University Men's Hockey teams and the Grand Canyon University Women's Hockey team have rerouted a total of 10 games between the four teams. The games have either been moved to AZ Ice's other properties in Gilbert and Peoria, or moved to dates that will accommodate the expected 4-6 week time frame for AZ Ice Arcadia to repair the damage inflicted upon it by an intense storm on the night of September 27. The majority of the games impacted happen this coming weekend, but only one of the seven games involved had to be cancelled.
 
The Lopes' D1 Men's Hockey team was finishing getting dressed for pregame warmups for its 2025-26 home opener that night against archrival Arizona State University when an intense storm blew through the area, knocking down numerous trees in the parking lot of the Desert Palms Power Center (where the rink is housed) and causing power outages to homes and traffic lights over a wide area. The rink went dark near the end of the preceding junior hockey game approximately 45 minutes prior to the Lopes' scheduled puck drop. As officials called the rest of the juniors game and cleared the ice, building officials worked quickly to find the source of the outage, but couldn't restore power safely, forcing the Lopes and Sun Devils to postpone the game.
 
That game rescheduling is part of the updated list below:
