NCAA Division I hockey gets underway this Friday, and the Lansing State Journal’s Nathaniel Bott posted a set of profiles of Michigan State University’s 2023-2024 season roster:
Red Savage, 5-11, 185, Jr., Scottsdale, Ariz. (Miami Ohio): Savage arrived at MSU this summer out of the transfer portal after two seasons at Miami and having played for the US National Team Development Program before that. He totaled 30 points in two seasons with the RedHawks. He was fourth-round pick of the Detroit Red Wings in 2021 after getting 68 points in two seasons with the USNTDP.
Trey Augustine, 6-1, 179, Fr., South Lyon (USNTDP): Augustine, who was one of the best goaltenders in USNTDP history, begins his freshman campaign as the Spartans’ clear-cut No. 1 in net. Augustine, who was committed to Michigan before flipping to MSU, posted a 2.13 goals against average and .926 save percentage while only losing one game in regulation last season. He also played a key role in helping Team USA to a gold medal at the IIHF Under-18 Men’s World Championship in May. Augustine will likely have a lot on his shoulders, but the Spartans believe his experience shows he’s ready for the moment.
Continued; Augustine chose to go to MSU because former Red Wings assistant coach Adam Nightingale is the coach.
