Michigan State’s hockey program is gearing up for the 2026‑27 campaign, a season that could cement its recent run of success.
Championship pedigree meets fresh talent
The official roster for the upcoming year was unveiled on Friday, revealing a squad that boasts 18 players who have already been selected in the NHL draft.
Among the newcomers are forward Mason West and defenseman Tommy Bleyl, who have joined the roster ahead of the first game.
The season will open on October 9 with a home series against Northern Michigan, a matchup that will set the tone for the schedule.
Coaches and players alike are focused on defending the three straight Big Ten titles the Spartans have captured and on pushing deeper into the NCAA Tournament.
With a blend of seasoned draft talent and fresh faces, the team hopes to translate its championship pedigree into another run at the Frozen Four.
