Miami RedHawks men's ice hockey seasons « 2021–22 2023–24 »

The 2022–23 Miami RedHawks men's ice hockey season was the 45th season of play for the program and the 10th in the NCHC conference. The RedHawks represented Miami University and were coached by Chris Bergeron, in his 4th season.

Season

By any measure, Miami had a terrible season in 2023. While the defense saw a moderate improvement and allowed more than 100 fewer shots against, any boost the team may have gotten from that was erased by the RedHawks' paltry offense. The loss of several top scorers from '22 could not be replaced and just a single player, Matthew Barbolini, managed to score more than 15 points. Miami scored 21 fewer goals than they had the year before, averaging just over 2 goals per game. Only three teams in the nation (Lake Superior State, Vermont and Yale) had a worse time scoring than Miami while just one (Lindenwood) had more trouble keeping the puck out of the net. Even with the minute strides on the defensive side, the RedHawks still had the worst goal differential in the nation at -64, which translated into approximately 1.8 goals per game in the red.

To make matters worse, all of this bad news came after a decent start to the season. Miami kicked the year off with a 4–1–1 record with Ludvig Persson playing very well in goal. However, as soon as the team began its conference schedule, their results turned sour. The RedHawks went 1–9–1 over an extended stretch but began to show a bit of life in December. They managed to take down #4 St. Cloud State just before the winter break and then return with a win over Niagara. The 5 goals they scored in each of those games got them within shouting distance of .500 but the team completely collapsed afterwards.

Miami won just a single match after January 1 and were shutout in 5 of their last 16 games. This was the fourth consecutive season in which the RedHawks failed to win at least 10 games.
