A cohesive Miami hockey and an emotional game for starting goaltender Jordan Uhelski led to a 5-1 RedHawk victory over the University of Alabama-Huntsville Chargers on Saturday night.
“We’ve got 10 new faces in the line-up, and you can practice all you want, but game atmosphere is totally different,” Miami head coach Enrico Blasi said. “The crowd, the opposing team is out to get you. I thought, for the first game, we did a lot of good things.”
The RedHawks move to 1-0-0 and the Chargers fall to 0-1-0.
For Miami goaltender Uhelski, it was the first time in his collegiate career he didn’t skate out with the Chargers.
