Playing career

Miranda made his professional debut with the GCK Lions of the Swiss League (SL) in the 2015-16 season, appearing in 36 SL games this season. He made his National League (NL) debut in the 2017-18 season with the ZSC Lions, playing 12 games and scoring one goal. Miranda also played the 2015 playoffs with Zurich's junior team in the Elite Junior A, scoring 7 points in 8 games and helped the team win the championship.

Miranda eventually played 62 NL games (11 points) with Zurich and 102 SL games (50 points) with their affiliate before signing a three-year contract with an option for a fourth season with Genève-Servette HC on December 3, 2018. The contract runs from the 2019/20 season through the 2021/22 season.[1][2]

In December 2019, Miranda was loaned to HC Ambrì-Piotta for the 2019 Spengler Cup. He recorded 1 assist in 3 games as Ambri-Piotta fell to Ocelari Trinec in the semi-finals.

Miranda left the first game of the 2020-21 season early in the third period after a knee-on-knee collision with HC Davos' Sven Jung.[3] He underwent medical exams the next day and was forced to sit out the first two months of the season.[4]

On February 17, 2022, Miranda agreed to a two-year contract extension with Servette to remain at the club through the 2023/24 season.[5]
