Michigan State hockey continues its impressive offseason haul from the transfer portal, securing a commitment from a seasoned Big Ten forward. The Spartans have landed Jimmy Clark, a veteran wing transferring from the University of Minnesota.

Clark brings valuable experience and a winning pedigree to East Lansing. Over three seasons with the Golden Gophers, the Edina, Minnesota native appeared in 114 games, tallying 14 goals and 35 assists. He was a key contributor on teams that reached two NCAA Tournaments, giving him crucial postseason experience that will benefit a Spartans program with championship aspirations.

His offensive toolkit is further highlighted by his status as a 2023 NHL Draft selection, taken in the seventh round by his home-state Minnesota Wild. Last season, Clark posted four goals and 12 assists in 36 games, demonstrating the two-way reliability and playmaking ability that Michigan State covets.

This move strengthens the Spartans' forward depth with a player who knows the rigors of Big Ten hockey intimately. Clark's transition should be seamless, and his veteran presence will be a significant asset in the locker room as Michigan State looks to build on its recent success.
