Career
Greg Powers began attending Arizona State in the fall of 1995.{{cite news|title=Greg Powers|url=http://www.thesundevils.com/coaches.aspx?rc=14|publisher=Arizona State Sun Devils|accessdate=2017-04-29}} He served as the starting goaltender for the Sun Devils for four seasons, earning all-American honors in 1997, 1998 and 1999 while being named team MVP for both his Sophomore and Junior seasons.{{cite news|title=ASU Profiles: Sun Devil Hockey head coach Greg Powers|url=http://www.houseofsparky.com/2015/9/21/9360843/greg-powers-asu-hockey|publisher=House of Sparky|accessdate=2017-04-29}} After graduating from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication Powers returned to his alma mater in 2008 to serve as an assistant coach. After two seasons he was promoted to the head coaching position and swiftly raised the profile of the Sun Devils. In 2012–13 he led Arizona State to its first 30-win season and the following campaign took home the program's first ACHA national championship. It came as no surprise that Powers was retained as the bench boss once Arizona State announced they would become an NCAA-sponsored Division I program for the 2015–16 season.{{cite news|title=ASU Hockey: How the Sun Devils became a Division I team|url=http://www.houseofsparky.com/2015/4/19/8448887/asu-arizona-state-hockey-ncaa-division-i-masters-thesis-sun-devil|publisher=House of Sparky|date=2015-04-19|accessdate=2017-04-29}}
