With Doug Derraugh now having 300 career coaching victories, and Mike Schafer having 481, that gives them an impressive combined total of 781. I'm wondering if this is the most combined win's by a men's and women's hockey coach at the same school with both still actively coaching at that school. It seems to me that this would be pretty difficult to top.

There are six still-active single-school men's coaches with more wins than Schafer on the men's size, except for Rand Pecknold not at the D1 level.
Jerry York alone has 1118 college hockey wins to date -- the most -- and is still active at 76, BC, his third university as HC. I know you said one school but that's an amazing runs in college sports. One of the what-ifs of Cornell hockey history is if Cornell would have looked at the then-Clarkson assistant to replace Ned Harkness. Except he would have been only 25 or 26 at the time.

Jerry York has so many wins at BC that the women's team coach would only need 1 win to beat every other school, I think. As it stands, York and Katie Crowley are a little shy of 1200 combined wins at BC.

Sort of like Hank and Tommie Aaron being baseballs best pair of sibling Home Run hitters, 755 + 13
