  "account": "Michigan State's hockey program has seen significant success in recent weeks, with 18 players being named to NHL training camp rosters, rising to 19 on Monday. Among the selections was former Michigan State defenseman and captain, Matt Basgall, who was invited to the Anaheim Ducks' training camp roster.\n\nBasgall, a Spartan from 2022-2026, played in 150 career games in green and white, tallying 79 points. This marks a new chapter for him, as last season he contributed to the San Diego Gulls. The Spartan's time in Ann Arbor was marked by 150 games played, securing 79 points for the team.\n\nAs of now, the 2026 Training Camp roster stands at 47 players. Three key moves were made to reach this number. Matt Basgall, a defenseman, was added to the roster. Marcus Nordmark, an left winger from London, OHL, and Mathis Preston, a right winger from Vancouver, WHL, were assigned to junior clubs.\n\nAll three changes were officially announced by the Anaheim Ducks on September 20, 2026 via their official Twitter account. The Spartan Wire provided this update, which can be followed on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook for ongoing coverage of Michigan State news, notes, and opinion.
