Sun Devil Hockey to retire Joey Daccord's jersey

TEMPE – Sun Devil Hockey will retire Joey Daccord’s No. 35 jersey to honor his storied career in maroon and gold during its home opener on October 3, 2025. Sun Devil Athletics will celebrate Daccord with a pregame ceremony and banner unveiling before taking on Penn State for the first game of the 2025-26 season. Daccord will attend Friday night’s ceremony and game against the Nittany Lions.

Joey Daccord spent three seasons in the desert representing the Sun Devils from 2016 to 2019. He played 82 total games and finished his final season as a Sun Devil with a 21-13-1 record, .926 save percentage and 2.35 goals against average. In his final season with ASU, he backstopped the Sun Devils to their first NCAA Tournament appearance. Daccord owns school records for goalie appearances, starts, saves and shutouts. He graduated from ASU in 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. 

Drafted 199th overall in the 2015 NHL Draft by the Ottawa Senators, Daccord became the first ASU player to sign an NHL entry-level contract and the first to play in an NHL game in program history. Entering his seventh season in the NHL and fifth year as a member of the Seattle Kraken, Daccord has a career save percentage of .906 and a 2.76 goals against average in The Show.

In 2022, Daccord set his sights on giving back to the Sun Devil Community that supported him throughout his time at ASU and collaborated with the Sun Devil Club to create Dacs’ House. The Joey Daccord Community Impact Fund gifts families of children undergoing medical treatment a once-in-a-lifetime experience with Sun Devil Hockey. Families attend ASU games in a suite adorned with gear and memories from Daccord’s career, including a special message from the former Sun Devil standout before each game.

Fans in attendance are encouraged to arrive early to watch the pregame ceremony with Daccord and his banner unveiling at 6:50 p.m. MST at Mullett Arena.
