FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — Sophomore goaltender Cody Reichard of the regular-season champion Miami RedHawks was named the RBC Financial Group Central Collegiate Hockey Association Player of the Year at the annual CCHA Awards banquet on Thursday, March 18. Twelve individual awards were handed out at Detroit’s historic Fox Theatre, including six determined by a vote of the league’s 12 coaches.
Reichard finished the regular season as the CCHA leader in goals-against average (1.23), save percentage (.950), and shutouts (5). He also led the nation in overall GAA (1.48) and winning percentage (.841).
Miami’s Enrico Blasi was named the CCHA Coach of the Year for the fourth time in his 11 seasons as the RedHawk bench boss. Blasi led the RedHawks to the program’s third CCHA regular-season title with a stellar 21-2-5-2 conference record, including a 23-game unbeaten streak in league play.
Miami junior captain Tommy Wingels was named CCHA Best Defensive Forward. And Miami sophomore Will Weber was named Best Defensive Defenseman. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound rearguard played a major role in Miami’s record-setting defensive campaign.
