Fort William, Ontario, and then moved for two seasons to the
Northern Ontario Hockey Association before joining professional hockey in 1956. He played for two years in the
American Hockey League (AHL) with the
Cleveland Barons, winning a
Calder Cup, but in the 1957–58 season he debuted in the NHL with the
Detroit Red Wings. In the following seasons he became a defender for the Red Wings, except for a loan to the
Edmonton Flyers of the
Western Hockey League (WHL) during the 1959-60 championship. In 1962 he played for a few months in the
New York Rangers organization, winning another Calder Cup with the
Springfield Indians farm team, but in October he returned to the Red Wings. He split five seasons between the Rangers and another AHL affiliate, the
Pittsburgh Hornets, with whom he won the third Calder Cup in his career. Goegan was selected in the
1967 NHL Expansion Draft by the
Minnesota North Stars, with whom he played 46 games in addition to a WHL loan to the
Phoenix Roadrunners. He retired a year later in 1969 after playing with the
Baltimore Clippers and the
Denver Spurs. ==Career statistics==
