Miami Hockey returns home to continue NCHC play with a two-game series against Colorado College this weekend. The RedHawks are 4-5-1 after a pair of losses at then-No. 18 Western Michigan last weekend and are looking for their first conference victory of the season. The Tigers come in at 4-6-0 (1-1-0 NCHC) after splitting a two-game set with then-No. 19 Minnesota Duluth in Colorado Springs (5-0 win on Friday and 3-1 loss on Saturday).
Both games vs. CC will be streamed on NCHC.tv, with puck drop set for 7:05 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 and 5:05 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12 at Steve "Coach" Cady Arena. Greg Waddell and Drew Davis have the call, with radio broadcasts set for WKBV 1490 AM (Richmond, Ind.) both nights.
Colorado College leads the all-time series between the programs 16-11-3.

Miami is seeking its first win vs. CC since Jan. 10, 2020 and first victory over the Tigers in Oxford since Nov. 3, 2017.
