    Re: UAA `16-17 Let's end this thing with a BANG

    Made a doodle poll seeing if you would donate money to help save our team:

    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.

      I still predict that the Aces have 2-3 seasons left. NHL teams are wanting more control over their affiliations and a team in Alaska just doesn't work in that paradigm.

        Well the Aces are finally Vancouver's AA farm team, they are the closet NHL team wonder why it took so long. For AAA sure, but AA I think the Aces are fine as long as their attendance picks back up, and or the profit margin increases.

          Do either of these schools offer a finance degree? The ultimate irony. $54 billion with a B and we can't figure it out? F* politicians....seriously.
          If I had a cool pic or saying it would go here.

              Article today in our local paper does not paint a pretty picture. The end of D1 hockey in Alaska would be a very sad development indeed.

                  The exhibition game is in Palmer this year. Sweet. I assume it will be at the MTA Events Center?? If so, I hope they put UAA in the locker room with the huge Seawolf logo painted on one wall. Hey, maybe I'll even try to take the granddaughter to this one and see how she does.

                    Perhaps he is just a volunteer? Also Chirs Kamal is our Strength & Conditioning coach?! http://www.goseawolves.com/SportSele...73&SPSID=58452

                      There is a meeting tomorrow evening 5:30 to 7:00pm at the 49th State Brewing Co. (the old Snow Goose) at 717 West 3rd Ave.
                      Anyone interested in keeping Seawolves hockey should attend as a show of community support for the program.
                      Everyone in the community is invited and encouraged to attend. Yes we would also love to have our UA_ friends there also.
                      See you there!

                        Hmmm. Interesting about Crabb. Kamal has been on staff. You've never seen him at the Sully carrying around his laptop?

                          Where did you hear about this? If we depend on this forum to get the word out, there won't be many people there. This is the first I have heard of it. Edit, I just read it in my email. It was sent to all season ticket holders.

                                I attended the UAA Alumni Meeting at 49th State Brew Co.....take away message; They need to increase revenue or hockey is doomed. The best way anyone can help is to buy season tickets...when you buy $10 tickets at the door, it only results in $4 revenue for the hockey program. Almost all of the season tickets revenue go directly toward the hockey bottomline...makes the bean counters happy! Alumni donations to the program do not count as revenue. If you want to help out/donate, call up Chris and buy season tickets in the upper bowl. Yes...they are opening the upper bowl and selling season tickets for $150. That's less than $10/game. They are in the process of figuring out how to distribute dontated season tickets to select groups in the community.

                                My response to this entire fiasco...with three kids--16, 14 and 9 all of which have contributed annually to the UA College Savings Plan since birth, we have over $30,000 currently invested in UA College Savings 529 Plan. If UA continues to devalue college athletics, our investments will certainly be reallocated to another state's 529 plan. Just as you politician's have choices, we also have choices and will choose to attend college in a state that values and funds education and athletics. We have 50 billion in the bank, everyone crying that we are broke, and those Juneau bozo's refuse to come up with alternative revenue source... UAA athletics is currently 3% of the overall budget. Nationwide, athletics averages 6% of a universities budget. Yet, we are demanding more cost cutting and eventually want the athletic programs to be 100% self-funded. We will soon have the two largest community colleges in the United States.
