The Detroit Red Wings are hoping for big things from goaltender Trey Augustine in the future, and he's been nominated for a major award at the collegiate level.
He's regarded as one of the most intriguing prospects that the
Detroit Red Wings have in their system, and he's already shown an ability to play at a high level in major pressure situations.
Goaltender Trey Augustine, the 41st pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft by the Red Wings, currently plays (semi) locally for the Michigan State Spartans, and also recently helped the United States repeat as gold medal winners in the 2025 World Junior Championships.
And now, his efforts are being recognized. He's been included in the initial nomination list for the Hobey Baker Award, given to the top NCAA men's ice hockey player per year.
Augustine was one of the main contributors to the success of Team USA during the World Juniors, and fans are right to be excited about his potential as a Red Wings goaltender in the near future.
Trey Augustine is the winningest American goaltender
Backstopping the United States to its second straight gold medal win in the World Junior Championships earlier this year, Augustine is now the winningest goaltender in the tournament's history.
His 11 victories put him a single win ahead of
Jack Campbell, who is now in the Red Wings' organization.
So far this year with the Spartans, Augustine is 12-3-2 with a sparkling 1.97 GAA and a .932 SV%.
Combined with fellow highly-regarded prospect
Sebastian Cossa, who picked up his 1st NHL win last month, the future of Red Wings goaltending appears to be in good hands - or in this case, good pads.
