Michigan State hockey commit Dryden Allen signs deal with Flint Firebirds
Michigan State hockey received the commitment of Dryden Allen all the way back in August of 2023. The 2007-born defenseman has kept his pledge to the Spartans through the years and is nearing his arrival to East Lasning. Allen, a 6-foot-1, 190 pound left shot defenseman from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, is expected to join the Spartans for the 2026-2027 season. Before that, though, he has found a new home for junior hockey. After playing in the USHL for the Dubuque Fighting Saints last season, and the Niagara Falls Canucks prior to that, he will be heading back to Canadian junior hockey, gaining a roster spot in the Ontario Hockey League. Although playing in a Canadian junior hockey league, Allen will be staying close to his future home, signing a Standard Playing Agreement with the Flint Firebirds. It will be another good year and league for his development prior to being a Spartan after this season.

Two former Spartans fail to make the cut at the 2025 Rocket Classic
Two former Michigan State golfers had high hopes for their time at their hometown PGA Tour event, the Rocket Classic, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Ryan Brehm, a longtime PGA Tour veteran, and Ashton McCulloch, an amateur on the tour, both failed to make the cut at Detroit's PGA Tour event at the Detroit Golf Club. For Brehm, things were looking promising. After a one-under round on Thursday, he was four-under in his second round on Friday. A terrible finish ensued for Brehm, though, who ended the day even par. McCulloch had a week to forget. A six-over round on Thursday was parlayed with a two-over Friday round, making him eight-over on the tournament. Both former Spartans will not see the weekend in Detroit.
