He saw limited ice time at Notre Dame, playing in just 41 total games over the span of four years, the most being 20 games in his freshman campaign.
The 5-foot-11, 196-pound forward tallied two goals and two assists as a freshman and another goal in his junior year, where he played in 18 games — one of his three career goals was a game-winning one.
Peterson is the program's latest transfer since Wade Murphy, a former Nashville Predators seventh-round pick in the 2013 NHL draft. Unlike Murphy, who likely has to sit the 2015-2016 season due to NCAA transfer rules, Peterson will be able to be in impact player right away.
ASU now has transfers from Notre Dame, North Dakota, Michigan State, UMass-Lowell, Northeastern and American International.
Sun Devil hockey will drop the puck on Oct. 3 against Arizona at Gila River Arena.
