Program Overview
Michigan State University fields 3 hockey programs in East Lansing, MI — ACHA Division II, ACHA Division III, and NCAA Division I. The combined 2025–26 roster across all programs totals 85 players. Each program operates independently with its own roster, coaching staff, and schedule.
What sets this roster apart is its international composition — 12 players from outside the United States, representing Canada, Sweden, Slovakia, Finland. That kind of international reach is unusual for programs at this level and speaks to active recruiting or strong word-of-mouth in those markets.
