TEMPE, Ariz. – Sun Devil Hockey announced the addition of transfer Chris Grando from Boston College on Friday. The junior will not play during the 2019-20 season due to NCAA transfer rules.
In his two seasons with the Eagles, Grando recorded nine goals and 16 assists with an 18-point performance during his freshman season. He played in all but two games during his first two seasons in Chestnut Hill.
"We are obviously thrilled to add a player of Chris's talent level," said head coach Greg Powers. "He had a tremendous freshman year at BC and just needed some new scenery. He has elite speed and work ethic which will be a welcomed addition for us after he redshirts this year due transfer rules."
During his freshman season, he led the team with three game-winning goals and tied for the team lead with a pair of shorthanded goals.
While his sophomore campaign didn't result in as many points, Grando found a way to make an impact in big situations. He netted two of his three goals in the postseason and three of his four assists in league play.
Prior to his time at Boston College, Grando played for the Green Bay Gamblers in the USHL from 2015-17. The 2015-16 season in Green Bay was spent with new teammate and Sun Devil senior Brett Gruber.
