Nightingale is coming to Michigan State after two seasons as head coach at the United States National Team Development Program (USNTDP). Prior to that he was an assistant coach with the Detroit Red Wings.
Michigan State hockey has struggled for the better part of the last decade, with the Spartans finishing 12-23-1 this past season. Nightingale will be tasked with rebuilding the program and getting the Spartans back to national relevancy after a brutal recent stretch.
