2024-25 Spartan Hockey Media Information

media credentials
All requests for media credentials must be placed with Jamie Baldwin in the MSU Athletic Communications Office. Priority for the issuance of credentials will be given to daily print/digital media outlets and radio and television stations which cover MSU hockey on a regular basis.

Upon acceptance of application, appropriate credentials are held for pickup at the will-call entrance at the media entrance (south/main entrance of Munn). Media will-call opens 90 minutes before puck drop.

Credentials are non-transferrable and must be displayed at all times. A credential is issued only to an accredited agency's employee who has a legitimate working function in connection with the event.
Children under 12 or of NCAA prospect age are not permitted in the MSU press facilities.

weekly press conference and interviews
Coach Nightingale will hold a weekly media availability throughout the season. Both Coach Nightingale and players will be made available in the theatre near the home locker room.

Additional days, times, and locations are communicated and/or arranged through Jamie Baldwin in the Athletic Communications office; the schedule is subject to change based on coaches schedules, idle weeks in the playing schedule, or university calendar. Interview requests for both players and coaches are most helpful if made 24 hours in advance of the interview. Player contact information will not be made available to reporters.

post-game interviews
After home games, Coach Nightingale will host a press conference beginning approximately 10 minutes following the conclusion of the game in the theatre at ice level. Following Coach Nightingale's press conference, selected Michigan State players will be available. Interviews with the visiting coach and players should be arranged through the visiting SID.

In road venues, MSU will conduct post-game interviews outside its locker room unless other arrangements have been made. See Jamie Baldwin to coordinate all post-game interviews, both at home and on the road.
