8 HEAD COACH TOM ANASTOS Fifth Season Tom Anastos, a Michigan State alumnus who has excelled in the sport of hockey as a player, coach, administrator, and visionary, is in his fifth season at the helm of the Michigan State Hockey program. Recognized by The Hockey News in five of the past nine years on the list of the 100 most influential and powerful people in the sport (most recently No. 46 in 2011), Anastos has an unrivaled passion for the game and savvy blend of administrative, business and communication skills, a Who s Who list of connections, and has provided progressive vision and dynamic leadership for college hockey. He is currently the chair of the NCAA Hockey Rules Committee. While an outside-the-box hire when announced in March 2011, Anastos quickly set out to return his alma mater to national prominence. He guided the Spartans to a overall record, fifth-place finish in the CCHA, and an at-large NCAA Tournament bid. During Anastos initial season, blueliner Torey Krug won five awards at the CCHA Awards banquet (matching the record number won by Shawn Horcoff in 2000), and garnered First Team All-America honors in addition to being a Hobey Baker Memorial Award finalist.

His Spartan teams made four NCAA Tournament appearances, finishing fourth in the country in 1984 and losing a heartbreaking quarterfinal series to Providence in As a senior, he earned second-team all-conference honors and was named to the all-tournament teams at the CCHA Tournament and Great Lakes Invitational. The sixth-round pick of Montreal (124th overall) played one season in the Canadiens organization, then joined the coaching staff at the University of Michigan-Dearborn where he served as head coach of that program from , compiling a record. In the fall of 1990, Anastos returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach under Ron Mason for two seasons. Those two teams went a combined , and in , advanced to the Frozen Four. Prior to his appointment to the CCHA, Anastos was the commissioner of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) for four seasons. In his role as CCHA commissioner, he oversaw the growth and changes in the membership over 13 years, and in April 2010, the CCHA played host to the record-breaking 2010 NCAA Men s Frozen Four at Ford Field in Detroit, the first Frozen Four to be held in a non-traditional hockey venue. In concert with his role of CCHA commissioner, Anastos served as the president of the Hockey Commissioner s Association (HCA). Did you know...
