While with the Spartans, Augustine became the goaltender in school history to win the Mike Richter Award as the nation's top player at his position, and was also named a First Team All-American two consecutive years.

Additionally, he won back to back Big Ten Goaltender of the Year awards, and was also a 2026 Hobey Baker Award Top Ten Finalist.

Making the adjustment to life in professional hockey has been smooth so far, and Augustine hopes that he'll eventually see some playing time.

"It's been good so far, it's a little different than Michigan State, but it's been good to get my feet wet," he said. "Looking forward to playing hockey down the stretch."

"There are a bunch of new guys, but they're all great and helped me feel like part of the team, which is awesome. "

Schedule Announced For Grand Rapids Griffins Playoff Clash Vs. Manitoba

Schedule Announced For Grand Rapids Griffins Playoff Clash Vs. Manitoba The Grand Rapids Griffins, who established new AHL highs this season, have released the schedule for their upcoming postseason clash against the Manitoba Moose.

Right now, Augustine is third on the Griffins' goaltending depth chart behind Cossa and Michal Postava. While his competitive side wants to see as much playing time as possible, he's also voiced his support for his teammates while standing at the ready if he's called upon.

"Obviously, I'd like to play every game, but they're a great team with two great other goalies," Augustine said of Cossa and Postava. "I'll just do anything I can to help them be ready to go, and obviously put myself in a position where if I'm called to play, I'm ready."

"Obviously, we're trying to win the Calder Cup here, and the coaches are gonna play who they think will give the team the best chance to win the game, and I'm going to do everything I can to help support that," he continued.
