As a youth, he played in the 1968 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the Toronto Shopsy's minor ice hockey team. Shutt played junior ice hockey with the North York Rangers, before attending Bowling Green State University for four years. Drafted in 1975 by teams in the NHL and WHA, Shutt decided instead to remain at Bowling Green. In 1978, Shutt signed as a free agent with the Cincinnati Stingers, playing one season with the team and its affiliate Springfield Indians of the American Hockey League. The following season, the WHA folded and his rights were claimed by the Hartford Whalers in the WHA dispersal draft. The Whalers took over the affiliation with the Indians and formed a Cincinnati Stingers team in the Central Hockey League, and Shutt played for both teams in the 1979–80 season. In 1980, Shutt joined the Flint Generals of the International Hockey League (IHL), where he racked up 235 penalty minutes. Shutt played one more season of professional hockey in 1982–83 with the Saginaw Gears of the IHL before retiring.
After retiring from hockey, Shutt operated a landscaping firm and coached hockey for Bay High School in Ohio.
