East Lansing — A new era is beginning for Michigan State hockey.
With the Spartans set to begin play in the newly renovated Munn Arena in the fall, they now also know who will be behind the bench.
On Tuesday, the school announced it hired Adam Nightingale as the eighth head coach in program history, replacing Danton Cole, who was let go last month after going 58-101-12 and failing to reach the NCAA Tournament during his five seasons. The terms of Nightingale’s contract were not announced.
“I’m extremely thankful and humbled to have the opportunity to lead at Michigan State University,” Nightingale said in a statement.
