Michigan State hockey forward transfers to Ohio school
A Michigan State hockey forward has entered the transfer portal and already found his new home at an Ohio school. Michigan State freshman forward Austin Baker is transferring to Miami (OH), Sydney Wolf of APX Hockey reported on Monday. Baker entered the portal early on Monday -- which was the first day for portal entry -- and quickly found his new team by the early evening.
Baker appeared in 14 games for the Spartans this past season, recording one assist. He was a seventh round selection by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2024 NHL Draft, but it appeared he would have a hard time seeing substantial playing time moving forward with the Spartans. Baker is originally from White Lake, Mich.
