Anastas also gained head coaching experience in the ECHL with the Brampton Beast and South Carolina Stingrays. He previously worked as an assistant coach in the AHL with the Grand Rapids Griffins, winning a Calder Cup championship in 2013.
Stanier joins the Wolves after serving as video coach for the Ontario Hockey League's (OHL) Ottawa 67's for the past two seasons.
