Dallas Fincher, who currently wears No. 72 for Michigan State, is a two-year letterwinner for the Spartans with starts last year against Central Michigan and Penn State.

Fincher’s father, Mark, was a three-year letterwinner for the Spartans under Coach George Perles in the 1980s!

💚 ONE BIG THING

🔼 Spartans Everywhere. We are not attendance experts, if there is such a thing.

However, we do know that an average attendance of 6,482 in an ice arena that holds 6,114 people means Michigan State fans are VERY passionate about Spartan hockey!
