The 2022–23 Alaska Anchorage Seawolves men's ice hockey season was the 42nd season of play for the program and the 37th at the Division I level. The Seawolves represented the University of Alaska Anchorage and were coached by Matt Shasby in his 1st season.
Season
After the program was suspended due to a funding crisis at the school, a campaign was launched to save the program. At the outset, the university said that approximately $3 million dollars were required which would cover the operating cost of the ice hockey team for two years. While the team would be unable to compete during the 2021–22 season, the rapid fundraising that followed allowed the Seawolves to return after only a year hiatus.[1]
