D is For DangleThe Friars have had excellent offensive production from their defensemen so far this season. All six players who have dressed on defense have recorded at least a point. Friesen leads the defense with four points on a goal and three assists. She is tied for third in the nation in points per game for defensemen with 1.0. Avery Fransoo (North Battleford, Saskatchewan) has three points off of three assists and Whitney Dove (Port Moody, British Columbia) has scored two goals for the Friars this season. The defensemen for the Friars have accounted for 13 of the team’s 40 points through four games.

Friar NewcomersThe Friars welcome seven newcomers to the 2017-18 roster. The three new forwards are Maureen Murphy (Buffalo, N.Y.), Camryn Tait (Toronto, Ontario) and Hayley Lunny (Bedford, N.Y.). Giana Savastano (Mapleville, R.I.), Ariane Ju-lien (Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec) and Chloe Gonsalves join the Friars’ defensive unit. Sandra Abstreiter (Erding, Germany) rounds out the freshman class and is a goaltender. In the Friars’ opening weekend, Murphy and Lunny notched their first collegiate goals. Julien tallied her first career assist. Against Quin-nipiac on Oct. 6, Gonsalves grabbed her first career point with an assist.

Last SeasonThe Friars finished the 2016-17 season with a 17-17-3 overall record. In Hockey East, Providence finished in fourth place, with an 11-10-3 record. The Friars hosted the best-of-three Hockey East Quarterfinals against Vermont, eventually falling in three games. It marked the team’s first time hosting a playoff series since the 2011-12 season. During the season, Bob Deraney reached the 300 win-mark and also became the winningest coach in Hockey East with his 155th win against Merrimack on Feb. 12. A highlight of the season came on Senior Day, when the Friars defeated then-ranked No. 6 Boston College, 4-1. The Friars earned 17 wins for the first time since the 2010-11 season.

Sophomore ExperienceFive Friar sophomores played in all 37 games last season as freshman. Meghan Rickard (Coventry, R.I.), Rachel Rockwell (Broadview Heights, Ohio), Avery Fransoo, Kathleen McHugh (Billerica, Mass.) and Neve Van Pelt (Mitch-ell, Ontario) did not miss a single game in 2016-17. Combined with Dove, who only missed one game, the sophomore class brings a wealth of experi-ence into this season. These six Friars combined for 27 goals and 71 assists.

Hockey East Award WinnersIn the first week of the season, Whitney Dove was recognized as Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week. She recorded two goals, two points and 13 shots on goal in Providence’s opening weekend. Last season, Dove was a unanimous selection to the Pro-Ambitions All-Rookie Team. She was also named the Hockey East Rookie of the Year and became the first defenseman in league history to win the award.

Hockey East Preseason PollThe Friars were picked to finish fourth in the Hockey East Preseason poll, which was released on Sept. 26. Providence received 41 points and was picked to finish behind Boston College (63), Northeastern (56) and Boston University (51).

BOB DERANEYHEAD COACH

19TH SEASON 305-276-66One of the most consistently successful mentors in collegiate women’s hockey, Bob

Deraney enters his 19th season as the head coach of the women’s ice hockey program at Providence College. He was named the Women’s Hockey East Association Coach of the Year three times (2010, 2011, and 2017). Deraney has registered a career coaching record of 302-275-66 entering the 2017-18 season. He captured the school record for career wins (265), previously held by the legendary John Marchetti, on Nov. 24, 2013 with a 4-2 win against Maine. Under Deraney’s watch, the Friars became just the second program to eclipse the 600-win milestone. In addition, he has guided Providence to three Hockey East Tournament titles (`03, ̀ 04, ̀ 05), three additional Hockey East Tournament finals appearances (`07, `08, `12), three Hockey East Regular Season titles (`03, `05, `10), one ECAC Tournament Championship (`02) and one NCAA Tournament appearance (`05). He has also mentored five All-Americans (Sara DeCosta in 1999 and 2000; Jessica Tabb in 2001; Kelli Halcisak in 2003 and 2004; Kristen Gigliotti in 2006; Karen Thatcher in 2006) and five Olympians (Thatcher, DeCosta, Mari Pehkonen, Laurie Baker and Genevieve Lacasse).

In the 2016-17 season, Deraney brought the Friars to a 17-win season and coached the freshman class to produce the most points (100) among all rookie classes in the NCAA. Deraney coached the Friars to host their first Hockey East quarterfinals since 2013. He guided the team to a third place finish, after being picked seventh in the preseason poll. Seven Friars earned Hockey East weekly nods, including four freshmen. Deraney was tabbed as Hockey East’s Coach of the Year while freshman defender Whitney Dove was named the league’s Rookie of the Year. Cassidy Carels claimed the Sportsmanship Award and Deraney guided her to her most successful season as a Friar, with 37 points and totaling her career at 108. Deraney captured his 300th win on Jan. 29 when the Friars defeated the Maine Black Bears in Orono, 5-2. Deraney reached another career milestone, becoming the winningest Hockey East coach with 155 league wins. Deraney coached his way to this title on Feb. 12 when the Friars erased a 3-0 deficit late in the third period to defeat Merrimack, 4-3 in overtime.

In 2014-15, Deraney coached eight Hockey East Weekly Top Performer honorees. Senior Beth Hanrahan was selected for the Hockey East Sportmanship Award, and was the second consecutive Friar to earn the honor, after Haley Frade captured the award during the 2013-14 season. The program holds an all-time record of 679-395-92.

Deraney led the 2013-14 squad to the Hockey East quarterfinals for the 12th consecutive season. Deraney coached his 11th Hockey East All-Rookie selection in Cassidy Carels. On Nov. 24, Deraney recorded his 265th win to capture the school record, with a 4-2 victory over the Maine Black Bears. The Friars won their seventh Mayor’s Cup title after a 3-2 overtime victory against the Brown Bears. Deraney also led Providence to a 1-0 victory against Connecticut as the Friars held the Huskies to eight shots on goal in 60 minutes of play, marking the first time the Friars held an opponent to eight or fewer shots on goal since Feb. 14, 2003. Deraney and the Friars celebrated 40 years of women’s hockey at Providence during the 2013-14 campaign. Overall, the Friars have now qualified for the post-season in each of the last 31 campaigns. After the conclusion of the season, Deraney was named an assistant coach with Team USA’s Under-22 national team.

In 2012-13, Deraney led his squad to the Hockey East semifinal round for the 11th consecutive season, making the Friars the only team in Hockey East to do so. Providence advanced to the semifinal round with a 5-4 road win over fourth-seeded New Hampshire in the Hockey East Quarterfinals. Coming back from a three-goal deficit to win in overtime, the Friars defeated the Wildcats for the first time at the Whittemore Center in the history of Hockey East post-season play. Deraney hit two coaching milestones in his career with the Friars during the 2012-13 season. On Nov. 10, he earned his 250th win behind the Friar bench with a 5-3 victory over Connecticut at Schneider Arena. Then on Feb. 17, Deraney coached his 500th game as the Head Coach of the Friars. The Friars had 12 players finish the season with career-high point totals, including Nicole Anderson ’13, who finished the year with 35 points, more than double her previous career high of 14. Anderson notched two hat tricks during the season, a feat not accomplished by a Friar since Karen Thatcher ’06 tallied two during the 2004-05 season.

The 2011-12 campaign was one of Deraney’s finest coaching performances. After struggling with injuries and illness throughout the first several months, Providence caught fire at the most critical time of year, going 7-1-1 from late January on. Led by All-Tournament goalie Genevieve Lacasse ̀ 12, Providence played 179:52 minutes of shut-out hockey. After blanking Maine and #7 Northeastern in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively, the Friars led #9 Boston University, 1-0, in the Hockey East title game until 7.7 remained. Providence eventually fell to the Terriers, 2-1, in double overtime. Despite the outcome, the tournament run is considered one of the more remarkable displays of hockey, particularly in the defensive zone, in the 10-year history of Women’s Hockey East, and it helped the program continue its trend as the only member to advance to the conference semifinals or beyond each and every season.

In 2010-11, the Friars compiled a team record of 22-12-1, marking the sixth time a Deraney-led squad reached the 20-win plateau. The team fell in the semi-finals, a 3-2 overtime loss, to the eventual champion, Boston College. Providence spent 14 weeks in the USA Hockey/USA Today national polls, finishing the year as the number 10 team in the country. After receiving his second consecutive Hockey East

Coach of the Year honor, he was nominated for the American Hockey Coaches Association Women’s Coach of the Year award.

The 2009-10 season saw Deraney lead the Friars to their third regular-season Hockey East Championship, with an 11-5-5 record in conference play, and a 15-11-9 overall mark. That year, Deraney led the Friars to several milestones, including the program’s 600th victory. The Friars became the first Hockey East team to defeat New Hampshire in Durham, N.H. since the league’s inception in 2002-03. Deraney also reached a personal milestone as he earned his 200th victory at the helm of PC. At the annual Hockey East awards banquet, Deraney was honored as Coach of the Year for the first time

in his career. Again, Providence was ranked for much of the season and finished the year ranked No. 10 in the national polls.In 2008-09, Deraney led PC to a 17-16-3 record. The Friars reached the Hockey East Tournament for the seventh consecutive season

and defeated Connecticut, 3-0, at Schneider Arena in the first-ever Hockey East quarterfinal game. PC traveled to Durham, N.H., but fell to eventual champion UNH, 3-1, in the semifinals. The Friars finished the 2007-08 season with a 16-16-4 record and advanced to post-season play for the 25th straight season. Deraney helped the Friars upset No. 10 Connecticut on their way to making their fifth Hockey East title game appearance in the previous six attempts.

In 2004-05, Deraney led the Friars to their 10th tournament title and their fourth in a row. En route to capturing the 2005 Hockey East Tournament crown, the Friars defeated Boston College and ninth-ranked Connecticut. The Friars earned an automatic bid and made their first NCAA appearance against No. 1 Minnesota. The Friars also posted their 14th 20-win season, the fifth in Deraney’s then seven-year tenure. The Friars finished with a 21-11-5 record.

During the 2003-04 season, Deraney led the Friars to their 500th victory after defeating Boston College, 5-2, on Feb. 22, 2004. The Friars defeated UNH, 3-0, earning their third-straight Hockey East Championship. The 2002-03 season saw the Friars finish with the best record in the program’s history, 24-6-6, and as the Inaugural Hockey East Regular Season and Tournament Champions.

In 2001-02, Deraney led the Friars to their seventh ECAC Tournament title and their first since 1995. The Friars defeated second-ranked Niagara and fifth-ranked Northeastern to capture the 2002 ECAC Eastern League crown. Providence also posted its 11th 20-win season, finishing 20-13-4.

In his first season, 1999-2000, Deraney led the Friars to their 10th 20-win season with a 20-10-3 mark. Deraney’s first season saw many high points, including an eight-game unbeaten streak, a road victory over No. 1-ranked Harvard and a shutout win over eventual national champion, the University of Minnesota. The Friars later reached the ECAC playoffs for the 17th consecutive year. The squad traveled to Dartmouth for the ECAC quarterfinals, and after 85 minutes of scoreless play, the Friars’ season came to an end, as they fell to the Big Green, 1-0, in double overtime.

Before arriving on Smith Hill, the Boston University alum had extensive college hockey experience. As a goaltender, he played for some of Head Coach Jack Parker’s greatest Terrier teams. In 1984-85, Deraney was named Most Improved Player on the squad and, during the season, he helped lead the team to a 24-14-4 record and a second-place finish in Hockey East. The following year, 1985-86, was the most successful during his time at BU. The Terriers captured the Beanpot and Hockey East titles with a 25-14-4 record, and earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years.

In 1989, Deraney served as an assistant/goalie coach with the Northeastern University men’s program. After one season at Northeastern, Deraney joined the staff of Dartmouth College and spent three seasons as the Big Green’s recruiting coordinator while working with the team’s forwards, defensemen and goaltenders. During that period, the program experienced a significant turnaround, going from the 45th-ranked team in the country in 1990 to No. 29 in 1993. During his first season at Dartmouth, Deraney was an assistant under Ben Smith, who would later guide the U.S. Women’s National Team.

Deraney went on to become the top assistant coach at UMass-Amherst from 1993-98. His responsibilities at UMass included working with the defense and goaltenders, recruiting, and acting as the program’s university liaison. Deraney was instrumental in helping rebuild the hockey program at UMass after it was re-instituted in 1993.

In addition to his coaching duties at the collegiate level, Deraney has coached at various levels with USA Hockey. In 2008, he was on the coaching staff for the U-18 Women’s National Team that won the gold medal at the inaugural IIHF World Women’s U-18 Championships. He joined recently graduated Friars Ashley Cottrell ‘12 and Kate Bacon ‘12 to defeat Canada, 5-2. Deraney helped select the 1998 Men’s USA Select Team, which competed at the IIHF Pool-A World Championship Qualification Tournament in Austria. Deraney also worked closely with the 1996 Men’s U.S. World Junior National Team and has been involved with all levels of national player development since 1989 for both men and women. More recently, Deraney served as an assistant coach for the US Women’s National Team who captured gold at the IIHF Wold Champiosnhips in Malmo, Sweden in 2015. Dreaney has been announced as the 2016 Under-22 Head Coach.

Deraney, a native of West Roxbury, Mass., resides in Shrewsbury, Mass. with his wife, Michelle, and their two daughters, Danielle, a former member of the Providence softball team, and Alexa a student manager for the Providence women’s basketball team.
