Miami played a solid first 20 minutes to open its four-game road trip. But once the puck dropped to start the second period, the game went sideways in a historic way for the RedHawks. No. 4 Denver scored three times in the first 106 seconds of the middle stanza and netted five goals in the … Continue reading Denver’s six-goal period crushes Miami
2022-23 Miami preview: Defensemen

NCHC Snapshot: St. Cloud State
St. Cloud was the No. 1 overall seed in both 2017-18 and 2018-19 but was upset in the first round both seasons, labeling the Huskies as a team that couldn't win when it counted.

NCHC snapshot: Omaha
It seemed like a dream scenario for Omaha, which hosted the NCHC bubble and only had to play seven of its 24 regular season games away from Baxter Arena. The Mavericks finished 10-6-1 at Baxter Arena, and they rode that to NCAA Tournament qualification, but UNO was pounded by Minnesota in the first round of … Continue reading NCHC snapshot: Omaha

NCHC Snapshot: Minn.-Duluth
What a four-year run it has been for Minnesota-Duluth. In 2018, national title. In 2019, national title.

After Michigan was forced to forfeit its first-round NCAA matchup, UMD's five-overtime win over North Dakota was … Continue reading NCHC Snapshot: Minn.-Duluth
St. Cloud blasts Miami in finale
For the first time in 18 games, Miami outshot its opponent, finishing ahead of No. 6 St. Cloud State by one, 33-32.

NCHC Snapshot: Omaha
Omaha's 2018-19 season was its worst in 15 years, but last year Mike Gabinet's Mavericks bounced back from that nine-win campaign to a .458 winning percentage and sixth-place finish.

NCHC Snapshot: North Dakota
As difficult as it had to be for a loaded North Dakota team to see this spring's postseason canceled, almost all of the cogs from last season will dress for the Fighting Hawks again in 2020-21.
