Michigan State hockey's 2024-25 season may have ended in massive disappointment, but the 2025-26 season just got kick started with a massive boost.
Michigan State star goaltender Trey Augustine has announced that he will not be signing an entry level contract with the Detroit Red Wings, but instead will be staying in East Lansing for his junior season.
The South Lyon (MI) native is a 2023 second round pick of the Red Wings, who already has a ton of accolades in his prep career. The winningest goalie in Team USA History at the IIHF World Junior Championships, he is a five time medal winner with USA.
At MSU, Augustine has racked up a 42-16-6 record in 64 games with a 2.55 goals against average and a .919 save percentage, to go along with six shutouts. He was named to the All-Big Ten First Team and was the 2024-25 Big Ten Goaltender of the Year.
Michigan State is poised to make another run at being the best team in America in 2025-26, and the return of Augustine is a massive first step.
Trey Augustine has informed the Detroit Red Wings that he will return to Michigan State for the 2025-26 season. Augustine was drafted in the second round by Detroit in 2023 and has been one of the top goaltenders in the NCAA over the last two years.
