In three seasons as head coach Handrahan has compiled an overall record of 50-48-12. In 2013-14, Handrahan s team finished fifth in the WCHA with an overall record of 15-17-5, 9-14-5 in league play. During the 2012-13 season Handrahan led the Buckeyes to a 19-win season, second most in program history and most since the 2006-07 season. Ohio State finished the year 19-15-3 overall and advanced to the WCHA Final Face-Off for the first time since 2010, sweeping Minnesota Duluth on the road in its WCHA First Round Playoffs series. In Handrahan s first season in charge of the program he guided the Buckeyes to a 16-16-4 overall record, 13-15-1 in the WCHA. Handrahan is the second women s hockey coach in the 12-year history of the women s hockey program. Handrahan joins Ohio State after serving five years as head coach of the Robert Morris women s hockey program. Taking over the team following its inaugural season in 2005-06, Handrahan s coaching style has established a young program that has shown great strides of growth each year. Under his direction, the Colonials contended with some of the top teams in the nation as the squad has picked up key victories over nationally-ranked opponents. During the 2009-10 season, Robert Morris knocked off the eventual national champion Minnesota-Duluth, 4-1, on the road. The Colonials followed with a 3-1 upset over defending national champion Wisconsin. Several student-athletes have reached exceptional levels during their careers under Handrahan s guidance. Among those was goaltender Brianne McLaughlin who became the NCAA Division I all-time career saves leader in 2009. She also earned a spot on the U.S. National Team and competed for the U.S. Olympic team at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, winning a silver medal. During his time at Robert Morris, Handrahan has produced two All-CHA First Team, three Second Team and three All-Rookie Team selections. The Colonials have also had success in the classroom as Handrahan s teams have earned 46 CHA All- Academic team honors. Before taking the helm of the women s program, Handrahan served as an assistant coach to the RMU men s hockey team for two seasons under head coach Derek Schooley. He assisted in the day-to-day operations of the team as well as instructing on and off the ice. A 2000 graduate of Niagara University, Handrahan assisted his alma mater in 2001 under Dave Burkholder and served as assistant coach for three seasons. His duties included recruiting, producing game strategy and practice plans, skill development, scouting, equipment management and strength and conditioning. While at Niagara, the team earned an automatic berth to the 2004 NCAA Tournament after capturing the CHA tournament title. While with the Purple Eagles, Handrahan recruited and coached four players who would see action in the NHL. A standout defenseman for the Niagara, Handrahan was a two-time All-ECAC West selection for the Purple Eagles. He played in every game during his four-year career and led the team to a No. 6 seed in the 2000 NCAA Tournament. He finished his collegiate career with 13 goal and 68 assists for 81 points, ranking 10th on Niagara s all-time assist list. 4
