Mauron will also handle program operations.
“I am honored and thrilled to join Miami University,” said Mauron in a statement. “This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of such a storied program and to contribute to writing a new chapter of success, both on and off the ice.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Lio and Sophie to the Miami hockey family,” Miami coach Anthony Noreen added. “Lio has a proven ability to successfully handle various aspects of a hockey program and will be a great asset to our program moving forward.”
Mauron comes to Oxford after serving the last three years as the head coach at Ohio University. In 2023, he was named the ACHA coach of the year and the CSCHL coach of the year.
