Sun Devil Hockey defensemen sign pro contracts with the NHL

Tempe, Arizona – Two former Sun Devil Hockey defensemen, Noah Beck and Ty Murchison, have signed professional contracts with teams in the NHL. 

Beck signed with the San Jose Sharks to a one-year, entry-level contract and Murchison signed with the Philadelphia Flyers to a two-year, entry-level deal. Both contracts are set for the beginning of the 2025-26 NHL season. 

Beck played in all 37 games for the Sun Devils this season, earning All-NCHC Second Team honors with 33 points on five goals and 28 assists. The Richmond Hill, Ontario native was second in the conference among defensemen in assists and finished his final collegiate season with a goal and three assists in the NCHC Frozen Faceoff.

Murchison finished his career in the Valley playing 146 regular season games for ASU. In his final season with the Sun Devils, the alternate captain led the conference with a program-record 98 blocked shots on the season, winning the NCHC Defensive Defenseman of the Year award. He was originally drafted by the Flyers in the fifth round of the 2021 NHL Draft before officially signing with the club.
