The 2015 Miami graduate became the fifth former player to win the Stanley Cup.
OXFORD, Ohio – Another former Miami hockey standout had his professional dream come true on Monday night.
After netting a goal in the Tampa Bay Lightning's 2-0 victory over the Dallas Stars in game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday night, former RedHawk Blake Coleman became the fifth Miami player to lift the most coveted trophy in sports.
Coleman joins Dan Boyle (2004), Kevyn Adams (2006), Alec Martinez (2012 and 2014) and Jeff Zatkoff (2016) in the ranks of former Miami players to etch their name on the Stanley Cup.
After netting 21 goals and 31 points in 57 games for the New Jersey Devils this season, Coleman got traded to the Lightning, who he suited up for nine regular season games with. In 25 playoff games with Tampa Bay, the Plano, Texas native notched 13 points on five goals and eight assists.
In four years in Oxford, Coleman helped the RedHawks reach the NCAA Tournament three times and win a pair of conference titles in the 2012-13 regular season Central Collegiate Hockey Association crown and the 2015 National Collegiate Hockey Conference's Frozen Faceoff. He amassed 107 points on 60 goals and 47 assists with 39 of his tallies coming in his final two seasons. Coleman was the RedHawks' catalyst to their Frozen Faceoff title, earning MVP honors for the tournament after posting 12 points (seven goals, five assists) in five NCHC Tournament contests.
