Matt Curley has stepped down as the men's ice hockey head coach at the University of Alaska Anchorage.
The Seawolves did not play last season due to COVID-19, and will also not play in 2021-22 as the program continues its fundraising efforts.
UAA is also seeking a new conference, and has returned to Division I independent status with the dissolution of the men's Western Collegiate Hockey Association after the 2020-21 season.
Curley, 38, took over in Anchorage for the 2018-19 campaign, after three consecutive years of coaching junior hockey in Austria. A native of Madrid, N.Y., he played collegiately at Clarkson University and was later an assistant coach at fellow NCAA member Bentley College.
In Curley's two seasons helming the Seawolves, UAA went 7-53-10 overall. Those victories came against Alabama-Huntsville, Alaska (Fairbanks), Bemidji State and Lake Superior State, all WCHA opponents.
UAA is now seeking the sixth head coach in program history. Since joining the WCHA as a full member in 1993-94, the Seawolves have gone 259-599-114 overall.
ADDENDUM: On Wednesday, Curley was announced as the new head coach of the USHL's Des Moines Buccaneers.
