FloHockey’s Chris Peters ranks his top 25 NCAA Division I hockey incoming freshmen this morning, and Trey Augustine of Michigan State earns the 8th spot:
8. Trey Augustine, G, Michigan State (Detroit Red Wings)
A massive piece for a resurgent Michigan State team, Augustine is expected to get a lot of the starts in net for the Spartans. He is likely to be the No. 1 goalie for Team USA at the World Junior Championship, too. After closing out his year by being USA’s best player in a tight gold-medal game against Sweden, Augustine brings a championship pedigree to the Green and White. He’ll also have an awful lot of fans in Red and White as Augustine was a second-round pick of the nearby Detroit Red Wings who will be keeping close tabs on the netminder with an especially high hockey IQ and polished technique.
