Michigan State hockey and its new head coach Adam Nightingale have hired former RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) goaltender, Jared DeMichiel.
DeMichiel has spent more than 10 years as an assistant in the NCAA, with Division III’s Nazareth College, St. Lawrence, and most recently UMass). In 2021, DeMichiel won the NCAA national title at UMass.
A former goaltender, DeMichiel helped UMass build one of the top recruiting classes in Division I hockey in 2017-18. That eventually ended up working wonders for them as the Minutemen went on to win the program’s first national title in 2021.
