Former Seawolf defenseman Matt Shasby has stepped down as head coach at Alaska Anchorage, after four seasons at the helm of his alma mater.
Shasby, 45, from Eagle River, Alaska, took over the UAA program in 2021, after it had been reinstated following budget cuts. He fashioned a 34-86-9 record in that time as an NCAA Division I independent, including a 5-27-1 mark this past year. His best campaign came in 2023-24, when he led UAA to a 15-17-2 finish.
Shasby joined the Seawolves as a player after winning a Clark Cup with Des Moines (USHL) in 1999 and being drafted 150th overall that same year by the Montreal Canadiens. In four seasons on the blueline at UAA, he collected 12 goals and 53 assists for 65 points to go with 158 penalty minutes over 127 outings.
He spent the majority of his six-year professional career with the ECHL's Alaska Aces, winning a Kelly Cup in 2005-06 while recording 46-186—232 points and 408 PIM in 364 career regular-season ECHL appearances.
UAA is expected to conduct a national search for his successor.
