Michigan State hockey picks up huge commitment from 2007 defenseman

MSU hockey picks up another huge 2007 commitment:

Michigan State head hockey coach Adam Nightingale is known to be one of the nation’s top recruiters, and he is showing his hat on that side of things once again. The Spartans have picked up the commitment of 2007 born defenseman Brady Peedle, a native of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Peedle is a 4-star, top ten ranked defenseman in the 2007-born class. He played this past season with the Bishop Kearney Selects 16u AAA team.

Trey Augustine eyeing return to MSU hockey for sophomore season

MSU goalie Trey Augustine appears to be eyeing a sophomore season in East Lansing

Trey Augustine made himself a household name for Michigan State hockey this past season. The freshman goaltender was one of the best netminders in the nation, despite being the youngest goalie in the nation. In amazing news for Spartan fans, it appears that Augustine is eyeing a return to East Lansing for his sophomore season.

Augustine was a second round pick by the Detroit Red Wings last season and would have an option to go professional if he, or the organization, wanted him to. It looks like he will be donning the green and white again next season, though.
