EAST LANSING - The Michigan State hockey team opened its 2015-16 season on Sunday with a 2-1 exhibition win over Western Ontario at Munn Ice Arena. Freshman Cody Milan and senior Travis Walsh scored for the Spartans, who outshot the Mustangs, 41-18.
“It was nice to have an opportunity to play,” said MSU head coach Tom Anastos. “I thought the game got a little better in quality as it went on and we wanted to use this as an evaluation.
“I think in the end, you want to play these games as a step in the next part of the process in preparing for your season and I thought tonight helped us achieve that.
