OXFORD, Ohio—Miami University Athletics has parted ways with hockey head coach Chris Bergeron, Director of Athletics David Sayler announced today.
 
Bergeron, hired in 2019, led the RedHawks for the past five seasons, finishing with a record of 35-116-16 (18-91-11 in National Collegiate Hockey Conference play). A former Miami student-athlete, Bergeron helped the program win its first-ever CCHA title in 1993. He also spent 10 seasons as an assistant coach with the RedHawks from 2000-2010, including two trips to the Frozen Four.
 
"Miami Hockey plays an important role within our athletic department and the campus community as a whole. It has a strong tradition of success and achievement, something we will lean in on as we transition the leadership of our program," Sayler said.
 
"Parting ways with Coach Bergeron is a decision based on a complete analysis of his tenure as head coach at Miami. I want to thank Chris and his entire family for their commitment to Miami Hockey, as well as to the institution and community, over a total of 19 years as a student-athlete, assistant coach and finally, head coach.
 
"We have begun an immediate search to identify a new leader that will make our program competitive within the NCHC, while also maintaining our academic and community service standards that we set for all of our student-athletes."
