One Shoudy wasn’t enough for the Michigan State University hockey team.
Travis Shoudy — the twin brother of MSU junior forward Tiernan Shoudy — spent his first three collegiate seasons at Ferris State, just an hour and some change away from where Tiernan has played with the Spartans in his career.
With one year of eligibility remaining, Travis flipped his transfer commitment from Colorado College to Michigan State, joining the Spartans' blue line after former MSU commit Tyson Jugnauth signed a professional contract with the Seattle Kraken.
Before college, Travis played in the United States Hockey League with the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders, tallying 33 points in 62 games and finishing as the team’s top-scoring defenseman.
As a freshman at Ferris State, the Marysville, Michigan, native notched 11 points and led the Bulldogs in plus/minus with a +7. As a sophomore, he posted a career-high 21 points (four goals, 17 assists). In 2024-25, he added 18 points while serving as team captain in his junior season.
Known for his defensive poise, ability to get pucks to the net and strong leadership, Travis’ addition brings experience and stability to MSU’s young blue line.
