University of Massachusetts hockey alumnus Steve Mastalerz returned to his alma mater to join head coach Greg Carvel’s staff as Director of Player of Development in 2023-24 and enters his third season on Carvel's staff in 2025-26.
Mastalerz, who was a goaltender for the Minutemen from 2011-15, has over a decade of experience coaching goaltenders on a professional, collegiate and youth level.
Prior to returning to Amherst, Mastalerz was the vice president and head instructor for Mike Buckley’s Goaltending Development Services out of North Andover, Massachusetts, and served as the goaltending coach for the Northeast Generals of the North American Hockey League (NAHL), holding both positions since the Fall of 2015.
Upon graduating from UMass, Mastalerz signed with the Manchester Monarchs, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings and was with the squad during their 2015 Calder Cup run. He remained with Manchester as their goaltending coach from 2016-18.
In his career with the Minutemen, Mastalerz appeared in 77 career games for a total of 4217 minutes, 45 seconds, and logged a 3.12 goals-against average and a .894 save percentage. The North Andover, Massachusetts native posted 20 wins and four shutouts, which currently ranks 11th in program history, while his career saves total (1,953) is sixth all-time in the UMass record book.
Mastalerz, a five-time Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week in his career, set UMass' Division I single game saves record, which was then sixth-most in NCAA history, with 75 stops in the Minutemen's five overtime victory at Notre Dame on March 6, 2015 in the Hockey East Tournament. He was a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and was twice named to the Hockey East All-Academic team.
Mastalerz earned his Bachelor of Science in psychology from UMass in May 2015.
