Mike Geragosian, a former All-New England goaltender at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, who has gone on to coach goaltenders for more than 30 years, is in his 17th season on the Terrier staff. Geragosian began his coaching career at his alma mater in 1978. During the next 12 years, his responsibilities at Lowell were primarily with the goaltenders. During his first eight years there, the River Hawks were a dominant Division II team, winning both the Eastern College Athletic Conference and NCAA titles in 1979, 1981 and 1982, while the 1980 team won the ECAC championship. He remained at Lowell during the program's transition to Division I play as a member of Hockey East, and was the assistant coach in charge of the goaltenders when the River Hawks advanced to the semifinals of the Hockey East tournament in 1986. He was also on the staff when UML received its first-ever bid to the NCAA Division I tournament in 1988. Geragosian, who was inducted into the River Hawks' Hall of Fame in 1981, left Lowell in 1992 to serve as the goaltender coach at Princeton University. At the same time, he was the director of development for goaltenders for USA Hockey in Massachusetts, a position he still holds. He then returned to Hockey East in 1994 to take over as the goalie coach at Merrimack, where he remained through the 1999 season. Twice during his tenure his goalies garnered All-Hockey East honors. Still holder of the ECAC record for most saves in a playoff game with 64 against Vermont during the 1972 tournament, Geragosian is a well-respected tutor and clinician, conducting several hockey schools in the area. Mike and his wife, Diane, reside in North Andover, Mass., and have a daughter, Leah, and three sons (Craig, Adam and Brian).
