Thanks to a former assistant coach, Miami (Ohio) University got an up-close look at the Stanley Cup.
Mitch Korn, the Washington Capitals director of goaltending during their 2018 championship season and Miami goaltending coach from 1981-88, brought the Cup back to Goggin Ice Center on Wednesday.
Korn had some help bringing the Cup back to where his coaching career started. John Walton, Capitals radio announcer and a Miami (Ohio) alum, helped him celebrate the day.
As part of the celebration, the school unveiled a banner featuring a picture of Korn hoisting the Stanley Cup that will hang from the rafters of Goggin Ice Center. Korn was hired by the New York Islanders as director of goaltending July 26. He'll work again with coach Barry Trotz, who was hired as coach of the Islanders on June 21.
