Richard Jacques LaFerrière (born January 3, 1961) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender. His only NHL appearance came on February 23, 1982 when he was called in to relieve Chico Resch of goaltending duties at start of the third period in a game against the Detroit Red Wings.[1]

LaFerrière was member of the Tulsa Oilers (CHL) team that suspended operations on February 16, 1984, playing only road games for final six weeks of 1983-84 season. Despite this adversity, the team went on to win the league's championship.[2]

After retiring from professional hockey, he went into the real estate business, and joined Chay Realty RE/MAX office in Barrie, Ontario.[3]

LaFerrière was born in Hawkesbury, Ontario. LaFerrière played four seasons (1978–1981) in the Ontario Hockey League with the Peterborough Petes and the Brantford Alexanders.[4] LaFerrière was drafted in the fourth round, 64th overall, of the 1980 NHL Entry Draft by the Colorado Rockies.[1]

LaFerrière began his professional career in the CHL with the Fort Worth Texans, gaining 8 wins in 37 games played during the 1981-82 season.[5] He played in one NHL game during the 1981–82 NHL season.[6] He played two seasons in the IHL with the Muskegon Mohawks, before concluding his playing career in the CHL with the Tulsa Oilers who he joined at the end of the 1983-84 season.[4]
