Despite its struggles in recent years, Michigan State’s men’s ice hockey team has been blessed with solid goaltending. When new head coach Adam Nightingale took over in May of 2022, one of the first additions he made was goaltender Dylan St. Cyr, who previously played at Notre Dame and Quinnipiac.

While St. Cyr was a solid goalie, no one could have predicted what he would mean for Michigan State in his final collegiate season.

St. Cyr boasts a save percentage of .917 and a goals-against-average of 2.74. He also seems to have stepped up in big moments leading the way for MSU’s sweep of Notre Dame at home this season.

In the final year of the Danton Cole era, Drew DeRidder and Pierce Charleson operated in tandem for MSU. DeRidder posted a career-best .923 and .918 save percentage in his final two years with the Spartans before transferring to North Dakota.

Before DeRidder, it was John Lethemon, who finished sixth in save percentage among all NCAA goalies (.935).

So who is MSU’s goalie of the future? And can he follow in the footsteps of St. Cyr and DeRidder, who have done so well in the Green and White?

The answer to the first question is Trey Augustine. And yes, he can.

Augustine is a 17-year-old U.S.-born goaltender who stands at 6-foot-1 and 179 pounds. He’s relatively small in stature, but any coach will tell you that he has an innate ability for stopping the puck.
