Biography

Jimmy Spratt has served as Miami's Assistant to the Head Coach since August 2025, returning to Oxford after previously serving as the RedHawks' director of hockey operations from 2019-2022. Spratt was part of a historic turnaround last winter with the RedHawks, as Miami jumped from three wins the previous season to an 18-16-2 mark in 2025-26. Miami matched the largest single-season improvement in regular-season wins in program history (+15 in 1996-97) and the third-largest nationally over the past half-century (excluding forfeits and COVID), finishing with a winning record for the first time since last qualifying for the NCAA Tournament in 2015. The Red and White won the program’s first trophy in a decade, claiming the Belpot at the Friendship Four in Belfast, and returned to the national rankings for the first time since 2019. The RedHawks won their first six games of the season, posted a 9-1 mark in non-conference games, and enjoyed their longest NCHC winning streak ever (five games). Head coach Anthony Noreen was a top-three finalist for NCHC Coach of the Year as Miami matched its highest finish in the conference standings since 2015-16, finishing seventh with a 9-13-2 league record. The RedHawks posted four wins over nationally-ranked teams, including a sweep at No. 20 St. Cloud State in January and a home win over defending national champion No. 4 Western Michigan. The Red and White also welcomed the first capacity sellout crowd to Steve “Coach” Cady Arena in more than 1
