Jim Healey Named Goaltending Coach

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Former Merrimack goaltender Jim Healey has been named the goalkeeper coach by head coach Mark Dennehy.

Healey replaces Chris Rogles, who accepted a position at Clarkson University, his alma mater, in January.

Healey appeared in 91 games for the Warriors from 2003-07, backstopping Merrimack to its last playoff appearance in 2003-04, his freshman season.

The goaltending coach, a volunteer position, was filled by Rogles last summer after another Merrimack alum, Tom Welby, departed at the end of the 2008-09 season. Welby coached Healey his final two seasons at Merrimack.

Healey was named to the Hockey East All-Rookie team in 2004 and to the All-Academic team in 2006. He was voted Merrimack’s Most Valuable Player in 2007 by his teammates.
