Thirteen games against six NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago highlight the 2008-09 Michigan State hockey schedule, as released by head coach Rick Comley on Wednesday, July 9. The Spartans will participate in the Ice Breaker Tournament at Boston University's Agganis Arena to start the season, adding an additional in-season tournament to the annual College Hockey Showcase and Great Lakes Invitational on Michigan State's schedule. This year's cluster scheduling for the CCHA finds the Spartans paired with traditional rival Michigan, along with Ohio State and Miami. MSU, Miami, and Michigan have all finished in the top four of the league in four of the last five seasons, and have been in the NCAA Tournament field in each of the last three years.
