Earlier this week, the Michigan State Spartans hockey program announced its new head coach. The man who gets the job is Adam Nightingale.
He wasn’t my first choice. He wasn’t even my second or third choice.
My first choice was Minnesota State Mankato’s Mike Hastings. He’s a proven college coach with a history of winning and is coming off of two Frozen Four appearances.
Another home run for MSU would have been Eric Lang. No, Lang was not touted as a huge target, but he made American International a tournament contender in less than four years.
