Prior to coaching, Mougenel played parts of six pro seasons between the AHL and ECHL. He was a head coach in the 2011 ECHL All Star game and was promoted to General Manager of Las Vegas during his final ECHL season. The Wranglers qualified for the postseason with Mougenel at the helm in each of his four seasons, highlighted by a run to the Finals in 2011-12. He then moved on to become the head coach of the ECHL’s Las Vegas Wranglers from 2009-13. Working as the assistant coach, his team made the postseason in each of his first three seasons. The native of Scarborough, Ontario got his coaching start in the ECHL with the Fresno Falcons from 2005-2009. His first taste of AHL coaching experience came in 2013-14 as an assistant coach with Hershey. Mougenel’s teams made the playoffs each of those seasons highlighted by a Pacific Division Championship and run to the Conference Finals in 2017. He began working under head coach Roy Sommer in 2014 with the Worcester Sharks and kept his role as when the franchise relocated to San Jose as the Barracuda. Prior to joining the P-Bruins in 2018-19, he spent four seasons as an assistant coach with San Jose’s AHL affiliates. Amid swirling throngs of teal-and-black jerseys, team mascot FINZ waltzes around, dishing out high-fives and tales of the days when pucks were nothing more than shriveled biscuits.Ryan Mougenel enters his second season as head coach of the Providence Bruins after spending the previous three seasons as an assistant coach for the team. Sharks fans absorb all the hard-hitting action from lower-level seats, which place game-goers close enough to the rink to hear skidding skates and read alternate plays scribbled up and down the captain’s stick. In between delivering powerful checks and misaddressed postcards to opposing players, All-Star defenseman Matt Irwin has collected 25 assists, and goalie Tyson Sexsmith does his best wall impression as one of the league’s stingiest netminders. Offensively, wingman John McCarthy dips, dekes, and dodges defenders, racking up a team-leading 15 goals this season. Head coach Roy Sommer–the AHL’s longest-tenured coach–has led his squad of puck chuckers to a 26–23–4–7 record through 60 games, including 13 victories at home largely due to the visiting team’s bench being suspended above an actual shark tank.
