The first future Michigan State Spartan has been selected in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, with Chase Reid getting selected as the No. 7 overall pick by the Seattle Kraken.
Reid, a 6-foot-2 and 195 pound right shot defenseman, will be joining Michigan State for the 2026-27 season this fall. He is expected to play a major role for the Spartans this season as a first line defenseman and power play quarterback.
Prior to the draft and joining MSU, Reid was a standout for the Soo Greyhounds of the OHL, scoring 25 goals and adding 63 assists in 84 games. A Chesterfield (MI) native, Reid’s superstar journey is now beginning with his selection in the NHL Draft.
