    Too bad he can't announce for the UAA team. The guy they have now is quite the homer clown, nothing like Haider who is a top notch hockey announcer. Or better yet, replace the guy at Alaska who not only is an even worse flaming homer, but has the most irritating voice in the WCHA.

      Kurt was amazing, but you're right, he was extremely neutral. I have not listened to any other college hockey play-by-play guys who AREN'T homers. Tuttle is better than most of the WCHA guys. And I agree, Bruce has a very annoying voice. When he gets excited his voice goes up several octaves and you can't even understand him.

      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".

      UAF is 56-86-12 vs. UAA.

        When they showed you and your daughter on the scoreboard screen, you sure looked like you were having a lot of fun. Lighten up JJ. It's not the end of the world. Some people take sports too seriously. For us, it is winter entertainment. We have friends who we only see during hockey season. It's still enjoyable for us.

            It is crazy trying to listen to Bruce when he goes full throttle Peewee Herman when something he thinks is electrifying or he missed and trying to catch up relating the landscape.

            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.

              The Feb. 24-25 series vs. UAF in the Alaska Airlines Governor’s Cup will double as ‘Scout Weekend’, presented by Kendal Ford of Alaska. Free entry to both games for Boy’s and Girl’s Scouts, 12 and under, when wearing a uniform. The first 250 Scouts each night will receive a free Seawolf patch.

              The series will also be ‘Parent’s Weekend’, with the Seawolf player’s parents recognized on Friday. Additionally, there will be a silent jersey auction on Friday throughout the game. Feb. 25 is ‘Senior Night’ - UAA will honor its five seniors prior to the start of the game on Saturday.​
              I can't believe that only two people were dressed up for the best fan contest. An easy way to get a free round trip ticket on Alaska Airlines. Another one being given away tonight. The "Open Season on the Nanooks" guy, with all the little polar bears in his "net" was quite original!

                  If JJ stayed home, who else would they show on the scoreboard? Since I've seen him up there multiple times over the season.

                    Can you not separate the actual gameplay from the "results"? So if we won 1-0 during a horribly slow, choppy, ticky-tacky penalty fest, you would've had "more" fun?
                    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.

                      Hate to say it, but if we did make the playoffs here's how we did against Bemidji this season:

                      at L 1-2 OT, L 0-4
                      home W 4-1, L 0-1

                      The at games being the most important, that 4-1 W was an off night for Bemidji considering travel and there late middle of the season slide. Total goals 5-8, we got shutout twice-both being the Saturday night affair.
                      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.

                        Against UAF? Abso-f*ing-lutely.

                        The fact that UAA has too many fans like you guys, in it for the pure entertainment and not results, is why UAA Hockey has the losing culture it does and is why the program has been on the chopping block. Nobody cares enough to actually put the pressure on the team to succeed.

                        Again, they lost to an arch rival, on home ice, and had their season ended. That's not fun, that's infuriating. The fact that so many of you are on here going "that was fun!" is appalling.

                          JJ, if I had your attitude I would have been gone a long time ago. And maybe this is why so many season ticket holders have left. What do you suggest we do? Complaining about it on a message board solves nothing - except allowing fans to vent.

                            One day before I die UAA will win the Governor's Cup.

                            I'll give Thomas credit for having the guts to pull the goalie.

                            I'd be more upset but they lost the Cup last night, tonight was just the continuing saga of mediocrity and pain that is UAA hockey. Once it was tied UAF just trapped ad infinitum, clogged up the middle and the goose was cooked, UAA doesn't have enough ability to break down a defense like that. Yeah they had chances but, well, good teams would've scored.

                            And Dylan Hubbs gets a fitting end to his college career with one of the dumbest penalties ever seen. Yeah it was weak call, but never give a referee an opportunity.

                            And to top it off: 8 years.

                            8 years.

                              Guy has given years to your program. Had to go out and raise money just before the season started just so UAF would have a radio broadcast for all games. Would make more money by not having to take time off work to go to Huntsville or Marquette or Mankato. Be very grateful for what you have.
