The 2018–19 Arizona State Sun Devils men's ice hockey season was the 4th season of play for the program at the Division I level. The Sun Devils represented Arizona State University and were coached by Greg Powers, in his 9th season.

Season

For the program's fourth year as a varsity squad, the Sun Devils produced their first winning record. The team also was ranked by both national polls for the first time and made its first ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Goaltender Joey Daccord became the first Sun Devil ever selected as an AHCA All-American. After Arizona State had finished its season, Daccord also became the first alumni to appear in an NHL game after signing with the Ottawa Senators.
