By Karl Henkel/At the CCHA AwardsDetroit –- The state of Michigan has three representatives in this weekend’s CCHA Tournament, but Thursday night Miami was the winner at the CCHA Awards Show at Fox Theatre.
The RedHawks took home the Coach of the Year, RBC Financial Group Player of the Year, Best Defensive Forward and Best Defensive Defenseman awards.
Enrico Blasi, who coached his team to a 23-game conference unbeaten streak, won the Coach of The Year Award for the fourth time in 11 seasons.
