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 and returns for his third season at the helm of the Big Red, now the full-time head coach.

Derraugh was instrumental in the Big Red's season of 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.

Danielle Bilodeau

Cornell University Assistant Coach

Danielle Bilodeau ‘01, a former Cornell women’s hockey captain, has returned to Lynah Rink for the past two seasons as the Big Red's assistant coach. Bilodeau spent the previous four seasons working in a similar position at Ivy League rival Princeton.

While at Princeton, Bilodeau was responsible for assisting with all aspects of the program, from recruiting and scouting to skill development and travel. The Tigers claimed the 2005-06 Ivy League title and helped the program to its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance. The team won a school-record 21 games. She assisted in the development of Andrea Kilbourne ‘03, a member of the U.S. Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey Team that won a silver medal at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah. Nikola Holmes ‘03 also represented Germany in the 2006 games in Torino, Italy. In her four seasons on the sidelines, Princeton won at least 20 games three times and posted a 77-37-9 record.

An experienced camp clinician, Bilodeau was a head coach at the Princeton camp for three summers, as well as Bowdoin College’s clinic in 2004 and 2005. She was also a coach for the Pacific Steelers Showcase in 2005. Bilodeau played four seasons for the Big Red, earning All-Ivy honors as a sophomore, and serving as team co-captain her senior year. The winner of Cornell’s Jeff Stenstrom Memorial Award as a freshman, she was a nominee for the Hockey Humanitarian Award. The Academic All-Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) pick, Bilodeau was a member of the Red Key Athletic Honorary Society and the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC). After graduating in 2001 with a degree in communication, she played one season for the Beatrice Aeros of the NWHL, helping her team to a league and Ontario Provincial championships, while reaching the finals of the Canadian national tournament.
