Career
Perry and his twin brother
As a senior, Pooley upped his game even further, finishing 6th in the nation in scoring and got the Buckeyes to their first (and only as of 2021) 30-win season. Pooley was named an All-American and again helped the team to a 3rd-place finish in their conference tournament, but it wasn't enough to get Ohio State an elusive
Pooley began setting out his own path when he went to work in sales for PsP Net Solutions in the late 1980s. In the mid 90s he owned a sandwich shop as well but got out of both lines of work after becoming a partner in a residential and commercial irrigation company.[3] After ending his first two professional jobs in 2002, Pooley was hired as the head coach for the newly created varsity hockey team at Dublin Coffman High School. Over nine seasons, Pooley built the program into a champion, winning three Blue Jacket Cup titles and a District championship in 2010. When his son Austin began playing, Pooley served as an assistant coach with the Blue Jackets' U-16 AAA team and scheduling conflicts between Coffman and the travel program caused him to resign from the high school position in 2011.[4]
Austin eventually followed in his father's footsteps and joined the ice hockey team at Ohio State, taking his dad's old number (12).[5] Perry continued with the junior team as another son, Connor, also played for the team. Even after Connor moved up to the U-18 team, Perry remained as coach until 2017 when he hung up his whistle.
