Mitchell Miller is no longer an Arizona Coyotes prospect or a North Dakota hockey player (photo: UND Athletics).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just one day after the Arizona Coyotes officially renounced Mitchell Miller’s NHL draft rights, North Dakota announced Friday that the team has cut ties with the freshman defenseman.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, it was uncovered that Miller had bullied and assaulted a black developmentally-disabled classmate<\/strong><\/a> during his eighth grade year four years ago in Sylvania, Ohio.<\/p>\n

The Coyotes drafted Miller in the fourth round (111th overall) of the 2020 NHL Draft on Oct. 7.<\/p>\n

The announcement from North Dakota came in the form of a letter from university president Andrew Armacost.<\/p>\n

\u201cDear UND Campus Community,<\/p>\n

I have been closely monitoring the situation concerning Men\u2019s Hockey student-athlete Mitchell Miller, who was involved in a situation as a youth in 2016. We expect our students to live by our values in the classroom, in the community and when representing the University on the field of play.<\/p>\n

After much consideration and discussions with Mitchell, the Miller family, our Athletics Direction, Bill Chaves, and coach Brad Berry, I have decided that the best course of action for Mitchell and the University is that he no longer be a member of the UND Men\u2019s Hockey program. Mitchell may remain a student at UND and we will continue to support his future intellectual and interpersonal growth.<\/p>\n

We wish Mitchell well in whatever path he chooses in his future endeavors.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I want to thank coach Berry and Athletics Director Chaves for working with me as we navigated through this difficult decision together, and for working with Mitchell and his family.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
