Arizona State University ACHA Hockey team is proud to announce the commitment of defenseman Colton Rhodes. Rhodes, born in 1997 from Coachella, CA played much of his Jr. hockey in the KIJHL and VIJHL along with a brief stint in the SJHL. During the 16-17 season Colton split time between the Osoyoos Coyotes and the Campbell River Storm. He recorded 39 points, 10 goals and 29 assists in 52 regular season games. Rhodes also recorded 5 points, 2 goals and 3 assists in 13 playoff games.

“Colton is a good skating defenseman that has the ability to jump up into the offense. He has good vision and rarely makes mistakes. Our staff feels that Colton can come in next year and make an immediate impact on our team,” said Josh Brown, ASU Head Coach ACHA D1.

Rhodes is very excited to begin his college career with Arizona State. “I grew up in Coachella, California, where my parents now live, so I am very familiar with and enjoy the desert weather. It was a pretty easy decision for me knowing Arizona State is a great school with so much to offer in both academics and sports”. He adds, “I want to enjoy the whole college experience! I want to graduate and win a national championship along the way!” Colton will be studying Aviation and Business while at Arizona State.
