Miami's Blasi Inks New 10-Year Contract with Miami

Looks like the Miami RedHawks don’t want to take a risk at losing their head coach Enrico Blasi and have signed him to a new 10-year contract. Looking forward, with all of the instability in college hockey recently surrounding the head coachs, three have been fired in the last month, this is probably is a smart move by Miami RedHawks. Miami along with seven other teams (C.C., DU, SCSU, UNO, UMD, UND, WMU) begin play in the new NCHC, during the 2013-14 season.
OXFORD, Ohio – Coming on the heels of a Central Collegiate Hockey Association regular-season championship and an NCAA Tournament berth, Miami University Director of Athletics David Sayler announced Monday that head hockey coach Enrico Blasi has signed a new 10-year contract that will keep him at the helm of the RedHawks through the 2022-23 season. Blasi’s original contract expired after the 2016-17 season as the new deal provides another six-year extension.
In 14 seasons with the Miami RedHawks, Blasi has compiled an impressive record 311-196-53 (.602). This past season, Blasi’s team also won the regular season CCHA title in final season of the historic CCHA.
