FEATURING ONE OF THE FINEST
COACHING STAFFS IN THE COUNTRY

Doug Derraugh
Cornell University Head Coach

Derraugh, a 1991 graduate of Cornell, returned to his alma mater for the 2005-06 season as the interim head coach. He returns for his third season at the helm of the Big Red as the full-time head coach.

Derraugh was instrumental in the Big Red's improvement last

season, as the team tripled its win total from the 2004-05 season. The year was highlighted by conference wins over Ivy League rivals Brown and Harvard, which was ranked No. 9. He led a squad that scored more goals (12), allowed fewer goals (18) and scored more points (34) than the previous season.

Derraugh played in all 119 contests for the Big Red in his four seasons, helping lead Cornell to an NCAA tournament appearance and a second-place finish in the ECAC as a senior co-captain. He led the team in scoring in his final season with 30 goals and 36 assists en route to earning second-team All-Ivy and honorable mention All-ECAC honors. The winner of the team's Nicky Bawlf team MVP and the Ironman Award for determination to overcome injuries, Derraugh's 30 goals is the most ever scored by a senior at Cornell. Overall, he ranks 10th in career scoring for the Big Red with 153 points (66 goals, 87 assists).

After graduation, the former Big Red star spent 13 years playing professionally overseas, seeing action with nine different teams and played in some of the top leagues in Norway, Germany, Austria and Finland. He scored more than 100 points in a season twice and posted 30 or more points 10 times. Derraugh ended his career with 257 goals and 347 assists in 637 professional contests. In his final professional season, Derraugh served as special teams coach for his team.
