EAST LANSING - Michigan State athletics director Mark Hollis announced Tuesday that Tom Anastos will step down from his position as head coach of the Spartan hockey program, effective immediately. Assistant coach Tom Newton will serve as interim head coach while a national search is conducted to replace Anastos.
“I want to thank Tom Anastos for the guidance he’s provided Spartan hockey over the last six seasons,” said Hollis. “He would be the first to admit that he wished there were more on-ice victories, but he built a program that was a great value to our community.
