Biography

Having now spent 19 seasons directing the Cornell women's hockey program, Doug Derraugh has brought the Big Red to their place among the nation's elite. Taking a program that won just four games in the season prior to his arrival, Derraugh guided the Big Red to the national title game in his fifth season and back-to-back-to-back NCAA Frozen Four appearances in 2010, 2011 and 2012, completely turning around the culture of the women's hockey program at Cornell. Derraugh once again guided the Big Red to Frozen Four in 2019. He became the first Everett Family Head Coach of Women's Ice Hockey when the position was endowed in December 2020. Derraugh has a 375-193-55 record in 19 seasons as the head coach of the Big Red. He led the team to five consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time in program history in 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-2014. Cornell has won the ECAC Hockey tournament five times and has advanced to the NCAA Tournament 10 times. A 1991 graduate of Cornell, Derraugh took over the Big Red program after a 13-year career playing professionally in Europe, seeing action with nine different teams 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 points or more 10 times. He ended his professional career with 257 goals and 347 assists in 637 professional contests.
