Michigan State reportedly has found its next men’s hockey coach. The Spartans will hire Danton Cole, who has coached the U.S. National Development Team for the last four years, according to Hondo Carpenter of Scout. Cole will be taking over for Tom Anastos, who stepped down last month after six seasons in East Lansing.

Danton Cole has enjoyed tremendous success with the US National Development program since taking over in 2013. Cole is an MSU alum and enjoyed a more or less successful career in the NHL. Most of Cole’s allure comes from the players he has coached in the program that are playing at the next level. A lot of Cole’s success is evident in the success of his players as they graduate and move on from the development program.
