There was an excellent chance Miami's stay in this season's NCHC Tournament would be a short one, after the RedHawks finished last in the conference and opened the playoffs at No. 2 North Dakota. But the hope was they would stick around for more than one period. The RedHawks gave up three goals in the … Continue reading N. Dakota ends Miami’s season

Miami rally again falls short vs. WMU
OXFORD, Ohio – There was a familiar scoring pattern in Miami's regular season finale. The RedHawks fell behind by two, came back and tied it then allowed the final two in a 4-2 loss to Western Michigan at Cady Arena on Sunday. WMU (10-11-3) had taken a 2-0 lead, seen it slip away then rallied … Continue reading Miami rally again falls short vs. WMU
Persson hurt; WMU tops Miami
Western Michigan did not start its third goaltender as expected, while Miami had to turn to its emergency netminder. The Broncos surprised everyone by announcing Brandon Bussi would start in net, as the team's top goaltender was injured in the first game of the season and had not dressed since.

This is the final regular season weekend for these teams, who will both finish below .500 and out of the NCHC's top four.

St. Cloud salvages split with Miami
Eight seconds. That's how long it took for No. 6 St. Cloud State to flip a one-goal deficit into a lead early in the third period, and the Huskies would not relinquish that advantage in a 4-2 win over Miami at Cady Arena on Saturday, as the teams split the two-game weekend set. SCSU's Brendan … Continue reading St. Cloud salvages split with Miami
Miami ends skids, rallies past St. Cloud

Duluth hammers Miami
Briefly it appeared Miami had jumped ahead on a long-shot wrister that found the back of the net. But that potential go-ahead shot – initially ruled a goal – was overturned, and No. 5 Minn.-Duluth went on to score five unanswered goals in the next 18 minutes en route to a 8-1 win over the … Continue reading Duluth hammers Miami

Strange that a pair of NCHC foes that have played almost exclusively intra-conference games since December 2019 have not met in 51 weeks. But Miami and St. Cloud State haven't faced each other since Jan. 31-Feb. 1, 2020 when the Huskies swept the RedHawks on SCSU's home ice.
