Omaha Mavericks Hockey junior forward Cam Mitchell nets the #6 play in the NCHC Top 5 Plays of the Week – Nov. 26, 2024. Mitchell’s short-handed goal in the Nov. 22 game against Miami (OH) at Baxter Arena was the featured play. The goal came at the 17:22 mark in the second period of the game. UNO led the RedHawks 1-0 at that juncture. The sequence was set up by Jacob Guevin in the corner of Omaha’s defensive zone. The junior defenseman hit the puck up towards the blue line. Omaha forward Sam Stange was able to snag the puck from Miami defenseman Conner Hutchison. Stange chipped it up the ice into Omaha’s offensive zone, followed it in, and made a spinning pass to Mitchell in the slot. Mitchell’s first attempt on Miami goalie Ethan Dahlmeir was denied. But Mitchell’s second attempt off the rebound put UNO up 2-0 late in the period. Omaha went on to win the game 3-0. It was Mitchell’s first goal as a Maverick. He had 2 goals and 1 assist on the weekend. Thus far this season he has 2 goals and 2 assists. >> Mitchell’s performance during the Miami series is also discussed on this week’s episode of the #mavpuckcast — click here to view this week’s episode.
