KEARNEY, NE – Tri-City Storm forward Artemi Nizameyev has announced his commitment to Miami University.
Miami, a Division I institution located in Oxford, Ohio, competes in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference.
Currently in his third year at Tri-City, Nizameyev has produced a team-high five goals in eleven games this season. The 2005-born player has also recorded nine points, which ties for best on the roster.

Nizameyev will also reunite with former Storm President of Hockey Operations and Head Coach Anthony Noreen, who is now serving in his first year as Head Coach of the RedHawks.
