2023–24 Miami RedHawks men's ice hockey season

The 2023–24 Miami RedHawks men's ice hockey season was the 46th season of play for the program and the 11th in the NCHC. The RedHawks represented Miami University, played their home games at the Steve Cady Arena and were coached by Chris Bergeron in his 5th and final season.
==Season==
In the first month of the season, Miami appeared to have resolved whatever problem had been affecting the program over the previous four years. The team went 4–1–1 in October which included a good showing against #13 Arizona State. Logan Neaton was playing well in goal and the many new additions to the lineup were contributing on both sides of the puck. However, as soon as the RedHawks began their conference schedule the results turned sour. Miami followed a strong showing by nearly going winless in November. Neaton's goals against ballooned versus NCHC competition and things got even worse for Miami when freshman Bruno Brūveris got his turn in goal. Compounding the team's problems was the sudden disappearance of their offense as the RedHawks could manage more than 2 goals in just two of eight games during the second month of play.
The team's defense recovered a bit in December but by Christmas the RedHawks had yet to win a single conference game. At this point the season was already over with the only hope for Miami being able to win their conference tournament, against teams they had already failed to defeat. Despite their situation, the team fought hard after returning from the break and won their first conference match by downing #10 Western Michigan but it came at a high price. With about 10 minutes to play in the game, Neaton injured himself while making a save and he would miss the next six weeks while recovering.
Miami now had to rely on Brūveris to carry them down the stretch and the season ended up going from bad to worse. Over an eleven-game span, Brūveris limited the opposition to less than 3 goals just once. With the offense still not providing much support, the team didn't win another match for the rest of the season. Even after Neaton's return in early March, the RedHawks remained in a dismal state and went 0–15–1 to end the year.
Shortly after the end of the season, Miami fired head coach Chris Bergeron. In his five years at the helm, the team had not won 10 games in any season and had finished last in the conference four times.
