Colin Ralph is headed to St. Louis.
The Michigan State defenceman signed a three-year entry-level contract with the NHL club, the St. Louis Blues announced on Friday.
Ralph, 20, was selected by the Blues in the second round (48th overall) in the 2024 NHL Draft.
He spent this past season with the Spartans, recording one goal and 10 assists in 37 games while leading his team to the Big Ten championship and a quarterfinal appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
Ralph, of Maple Grove, Minn., also helped the U.S. win the 2025 world junior title.
His Blues deal kicks in next season, but he will report to the AHL's Springfield Thunderbirds.
