Michigan State Athletics is deeply saddened to announce the unexpected passing of MSU Hockey's Dan Sturges.

Dan Sturges was a beloved member of the Michigan State hockey family, and our entire community is stunned at this devastating news. He was an adoring father and a devoted husband, and our hearts break for his wife Becky and their sons. As a player and later as a member of our staff, Dan loved being a Spartan and worked every day to make the program the best it possibly could be. His passion, dedication and impact will leave a lasting legacy. - Adam Nightingale

Love this quote from MSU coach Adam Nightingale: “I got into coaching 18 years ago, and it took me 30 seconds to understand that I don’t care what anyone thinks. I care about the guys in the room and I told them I’m super proud. They’ve done everything we have asked and I think if you look at it, we got a chance to play for six trophies this year and we won five of them. This is the one we really wanted obviously, and we fell short.”
