South Lyone native Trey Augustine, one of the best goaltenders in college hockey over the past three seasons, is now a member of the Detroit Red Wings organization.
A few days after Michigan State hockey was knocked out of the NCAA Tournament, Trey Augustine turned pro on Tuesday, March 31. The Wings signed him to a three-year, entry-level deal that begins with the 2026-27 season, clearing the way for Augustine to join the Wings' AHL affiliate.
The Wings selected Augustine, 21, in the second round (No. 43 overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft. Augustine is among 10 finalists for the 2026 Hobey Baker Award, presented annually to the top player in college hockey.
PLAYOFF HUNT: Detroit Red Wings 'somewhat embarrassed' as coach renews criticism
Augustine just completed his junior season at MSU, posting a 24-9-1 record with a 2.11 goals-against average, a 0.929 save percentage and three shutouts in 34 appearances. The 6-foot-1, 194-pound goalie was named Big Ten Goaltender of the Year for the second-consecutive season and earned a place on the All-Big Ten first team.
Augustine joins the Griffins just as their other goalie-of-the-future, Sebastian Cossa, is wrapping up his fourth year of pro hockey in the minors. Starting next season, Cossa, the team's first-round pick, at No. 15, in 2021, is no longer waiver-exempt, so he'll have to be on the Wings' roster.
Augustine has starred for the Spartans three straight years, going 66-25-7 with a 2.40 GAA, a .922 save percentage and nine shutouts and leading them to three consecutive Big Ten regular-season championships. MSU lost to Wisconsin in the Worcester regional final of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday.
Internationally, Augustine won two gold medals (2024, 2025) and one bronze (2023) with the United States at the IIHF World Junior Championship, and a bronze and a silver at the U-18 world championships.
Augustine joins a Griffins team that already has clinched a berth in the Calder Cup playoffs.
