Neil’s Notebook: Spartans Excited for Trip to Boston and Matthews Arena

EAST LANSING – Three-and-a-half years into their college hockey careers, Mike Ferrantino and Travis Walsh have played on the road in some special arenas with unique looks and exciting atmospheres.

The Michigan State seniors have played in rinks all over the United States – from Alaska to Maine.

They’ve competed in old buildings like Hobey Baker Memorial Rink at Princeton and Yost Arena in Ann Arbor. There have been trips to new arenas at Penn State and Notre Dame and still fairly new facilities at Miami, Denver and Boston University.

“It’s been cool to be able to see so many different buildings and play in different environments,’’ Ferrantino said.
