MSU lands in top 10 of final college hockey rankings for 2024-25 season
MSU lands in top 10 of final college hockey rankings for 2024-25 season Michigan State hockey ends the year ranked in the top 10 of the USCHO.com rankings for a second straight season
For a second straight season, Michigan State hockey landed in the top 10 of the final rankings.
The final USCHO.com poll for the 2024-25 season was released on Monday, with the Spartans coming in at No. 6. This was the second straight year the Spartans ended the season ranked in the top 10, with Michigan State landing at No. 5 last year.
Michigan State was the second-highest ranked team from the Big Ten, with Penn State one spot ahead at No. 5. The Nittany Lions reached the program's first ever Frozen Four this year -- which led to their higher finish in the final rankings. Minnesota (No. 9), Ohio State (No. 11) and Michigan (No. 17) were the other Big Ten teams that landed in the final poll.
Michigan State was ranked within the top five all season long, but an early exit in the NCAA Tournament ended their year in disappointment. The Spartans claimed both the regular season and tournament Big Ten titles, but once again failed to reach the Frozen Four as a No. 1 seed in their region.
The complete final college hockey poll for the 2024-25 season can be found on USCHO.com.

Two former Spartans fail to make the cut at the 2025 Rocket Classic
Two former Michigan State golfers had high hopes for their time at their hometown PGA Tour event, the Rocket Classic, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Ryan Brehm, a longtime PGA Tour veteran, and Ashton McCulloch, an amateur on the tour, both failed to make the cut at Detroit's PGA Tour event at the Detroit Golf Club. For Brehm, things were looking promising. After a one-under round on Thursday, he was four-under in his second round on Friday. A terrible finish ensued for Brehm, though, who ended the day even par. McCulloch had a week to forget. A six-over round on Thursday was parlayed with a two-over Friday round, making him eight-over on the tournament. Both former Spartans will not see the weekend in Detroit.
