The 2025-26 preseason Top 25 is very high on Michigan State hockey

The 2025-26 Michigan State hockey season is right around the corner, and the Spartans are looking to avenge last season’s NCAA Tournament loss to Cornell and prove it was a fluke.

The Spartans’ magical 2024-25 season came to a screeching halt in the first NCAA Tournament matchup, blowing an early lead and losing to Cornell with 10 seconds left. That loss ripped the hearts out of Michigan State hockey fans everywhere, but Adam Nightingale pieced together one of the best rosters in the country this offseason.

Despite losing Isaac Howard to the NHL in a bit of a surprising move and Gavin McKenna to Penn State on the recruiting trail, Michigan State is going to have a loaded roster.
