Steve Miller has stepped down after one season as Providence’s associate head coach for family reasons, the school announced.<\/p>\n
The former longtime Denver assistant will return to Colorado to be with his wife and three children, according to a school release.<\/p>\n
“We are really appreciative of the work Steve has done in his short time with the program,” Friars coach Nate Leaman said. “Having three children myself, I fully understand the decision Steve has made to be with his family. We wish him all the best moving forward.”<\/p>\n
Miller was credited with designing the faceoff play on which Brandon Tanev scored the go-ahead goal in the third period of the 2015 national championship game against Boston University.<\/p>\n
It was the third national championship for Miller, who helped Denver to titles in 2004 and 2005.<\/p>\n
Miller left the Pioneers during the 2013-14 season after being named the first head coach of the new USHL team in Madison, Wis.<\/a>, near his hometown of Sun Prairie, Wis. But he resigned that position before the team took the ice.<\/p>\n After Jamie Russell left the Providence staff<\/a> in April 2014, Miller was brought aboard in June<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The longtime Denver assistant helped the Friars win the national championship in his only season with the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":140328,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
