About the coaches:
Bobby Ferraris
Bobby Ferraris has been at Mercyhurst for the last four years and serves as the recruiting coordinator in addition to on-ice coaching. Prior to his arrival in Erie, Ferraris served for two years as assistant coach at American International College (AIC). During his stay with the Yellow Jackets, Ferraris was the recruiting coordinator, served as defense and special teams' coach, and coordinated video breakdown and game analysis. Before AIC, Ferraris spent a combined three years as assistant coach for both New Haven (Conn.) and Utica (N.Y.) of the United Hockey League and played for six seasons. He spent the 2002-03 season as head coach of the Connecticut Junior Wolves (MJHL).
Louis Goulet
Louis Goulet returns for his second season with the Mercyhurst College
women’s hockey program. As an assistant coach, Goulet is responsible for
coaching the offense as well as recruiting, travel arrangements and video
coordination.
Goulet had an immediate impact on the Laker offense in just his first
season, following a successful professional career that saw him spend time
in the East Coast Hockey League, the American Hockey League and a season
overseas in the Elite Ice Hockey League.
The Kapuskasing, Ontario native helped the Laker offense rank in the top-3
nationally during their run to the national championship game. Several
Lakers saw their numbers increase drastically, including three-time
All-American Meghan Agosta, who broke the school-record for points in a
season and became the seventh player in NCAA history to score 100 goals in a
career.
A 2002 graduate of Mercyhurst College, Goulet played four seasons of
collegiate hockey with head coach Rick Gotkin and the men’s hockey program.
