Projected First-Rounder Ethan Belchetz Commits to Michigan State Hockey

The pledge reinforces Michigan State's pull for NHL-caliber talent under coach Adam Nightingale.

Overview

  • Ethan Belchetz announced Tuesday on Instagram that he will play NCAA Division I hockey at Michigan State.
  • Scouting outlets rank the 6-foot-5 winger as a likely first-round pick in June, including ninth among North American skaters on NHL Central Scouting.
  • He produced 34 goals and 59 points for the OHL’s Windsor Spitfires this season and trailed only Liam Greentree in team goals.
  • He broke his clavicle in early March and missed the rest of the year, with reporting indicating he is expected to be ready for MSU’s October start.
  • He joins an incoming group that features defenseman Chase Reid and forward Nikita Klepov, filling a spot opened by Max Heise’s decommitment as the Spartans continue to stack elite recruits.
