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.

Two Michigan State hockey players honored with All-Big Ten selections

Well, this one might be a little controversial. Two Michigan State hockey players were honored with All-Big Ten selections on Tuesday, but only one of them made the First Team: Artyom Levshunov, the Spartans extremely talented freshman defenseman.

That’s not the one that may be controversial. What will be divisive is the fact that MSU goalie Trey Augustine was named to the Second Team, losing out on the First Team spot to Wisconsin goalie Kyle McClellan.

Both players were named to the All-Freshman team, as you’d expect.

Michigan State hockey flips Michigan goaltender commit

Michigan State has flipped one of the top goalies in the prep ranks from Michigan

New Michigan State hockey coach Adam Nightingale has been hot on the recruiting trail during his short tenure in East Lansing. Nightingale has already landed a plethora of top players at the prep level and he has no end in sight.

Trey Augustine is one of the top goaltenders in the 2005 age group, and as a 17-year old, was brought up to play with the U18 USA National Team due to his play.

Augustine was recently committed to Michigan, one of their prized recruits and goalie of the future, but Coach Nightingale has shifted that tide and has completed the flip — getting Augustine to decommit from Michigan and commit to Michigan State.
