But let's be real...There are 40 some other teams and only two alaskan teams...the day one of us wins something big will be the day I transfer to UAA

While I understand the pragmatic approach from the players and coaching staff, it was the first game, it is not the right approach at this time. To put it bluntly: they don't have the luxury of losing right now. Every loss right now, and this is doubly so at home, puts the program one more step up the gallows. There really is no sugar coating it, they can't lose and they especially can't lose at home.
Exactly. We had a nice crowd both nights. Too bad the team played like crap tonight. Seriously embarrassing! Three mental breakdowns and three pucks in our net. I hope coach chews them out royally, but I blame him as well for not having his team mentally ready.

From ADN:
"According to NCAA, the (UAF) hockey team used ineligible players in every game played from the 2007-08 season to the 2010-11 season. Over that span, the wins and ties will all become losses. 4 wins and 2 ties came against rival UAA".

Zero confidence, passing better to the opponent, Mantha getting killed on his glove side, and the looming budgets cuts. Worst weekend ever.
I thought Louie ran our D?
We still too slow.
Good lord quit with dumb penalties.
Scored a goal though.
Hubbs drew another bone-headed penalty just like last night, mid third period when we were down bad, but this time the team did not rally. What irked me leaving last night was all the coaches having a good laugh all the way off the ice, well Crabb not soo much.
Just to be clear. My disinterest in this team became of the Uni's disinterest. Without the success of the hockey team, the other teams would not be where they are. Way to pay back the hockey team. **** UAA.
Decent crowd tonight. One of the beer salesman was stressed out because the lines were so long. ... LOL. Needs to be prepared next time.. especially when we play Bearflanks.
do the math. ............ Join UAA booster room....... the line is short and refreshments come with membership.
Alaska Dispatch .... Doyle Woody UAF made the kind of hockey history on October 10th 2015 that no team wants to claim – the Nanooks became the first NCAA Division I victim of Arizona State.

How much of the money does UAA get? I know the alumni association was urging fans to purchase season tickets, saying UAA only gets $4 from a ticket bought at the door. That is CRAZY. The Sully is $25,000 for a weekend and then they get the lions share of ticket sales too. Let's hope the guys start winning and even more folks buy into the great deal on balcony season tickets.

Not sure, if you are a UAA student (6 credits at least, ~two classes) you can purchase a companion ticket for $5. I'd assume the $5 goes straight to UAA, plus that way SMG wouldn't get a cent.

Did they change that? I thought you had to take 12 credits.

I recall it's been only 6 credits a semester.

I'm looking for visitor recommendations. I'll be coming up to AK for the Michigan Tech double weekends vs UAA and UAF. I'm planning to fly into Anchorage for the first series, maybe** drive (is a 4WD vehicle going to be needed this time of year?) my way to Fairbanks over the course of the week as I [please provide any recommendations of what to do here] and finally arrive the following Friday for the Tech series vs UAF. On Sunday following the second UAF game I'll be driving back** to Anchorage to catch a late Sunday redeye back to the lower 48.
** One thing I really wanted to do was rent the car one-way from Anchorage to Fairbanks and then take the railroad back. The one way drop fee is over $300 plus the return train ticket which is almost $200. Not really an expense that will be in my budget on top of 10 days in AK. Is there a reasonable way to get from Anchorage to Fairbanks via public transportation? I could always rent one car in Anchorage and return it and then get a separate rental in Fairbanks if there was a way to get North before Friday night. (I see the train only runs North on Sat during the Winter season). Greyhound doesn't seem to exist North of the lower 48 but there are dozens of Alaska bus lines (any recommended going between ANC-FAI airports)?
Any other recommendations for things to do, things to see, seasonal transportation requirements, lodging suggestions (especially during the week near either city), etc. Looking forward to getting back to Anchorage and seeing Fairbanks for the first time. Feel free to post your suggestions here (at the risk of boring the locals) or email me directly at info@johnsonsjerseys.net - thanks!
