Michigan State hockey was selected third by the conference coaches, as announced on Monday when the Big Ten announced its preseason polls and all-conference teams on Monday. The Spartans were picked behind 2023 regular-season (Minnesota) and tournament (Michigan) champions in advance of the 2023-24 campaign. This ties the highest team ranking in the Big Ten preseason poll for Michigan State – the 2015-16 team was also selected third.
