ANCHORAGE, Alaska - University of Alaska Anchorage head hockey coach Matt Shasby announced Thursday that he has tapped Fairbanks’ Trevor Stewart to become the“My list was one and it was Trevor Stewart from day one,” Shasby said.
Stewart had been the head coach of the Fairbanks Ice Dogs until Monday when he announced his resignation. “There is a tremendous amount of pride in Alaska hockey and that’s what coach Shasby is very excited about moving forward, but hopefully maintain and keep the best young players in Alaska to stay in state and play college hockey,” Stewart said.
After over 10 seasons as the head coach of Alaska’s top junior hockey program, Stewart collected over 400 wins, and captured two Robertson Cup Championships as the North American Hockey League’s best team in 2014 and 2016. Stewart was named NAHL Coach of the Year for the 2013-14 and 2017-18 seasons with the Ice Dogs. Stewart is originally from Elk River, Minnesota.
“Just Coach Shasby’s enthusiasm, and he wants the program to go in the right direction,” Stewart said about what intrigued him to join UAA. “He’s certainly done so thus far in the things that he has done and the work ethic that he has shown, so I was attracted to that, and then just the endless possibilities of where Seawolf hockey can go and just the opportunity to be able to coach Division I hockey in the great state of Alaska.
