    The UAA hockey program is a run down pig with brand new lipstick on it. Even us fans can't agree on what can be fixed, the only thing that is certain is $$$.

    UA_ doesn't appear so rundown but you have winning and development of players to supplement a better overall program/college experience.
    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.

      Even if he’s right, these CHN articles are still very damaging. There’s still a perception around hockey that we are both weak, and this does nothing to help.

These aren’t suits behind a desk...they are very visible, very public positions that represent the University, and we treat it like we’re hiring an accountant.

        A. Find the leak and fix it.
        B. Figure out why all these coaches are saying no, and fix that to the extent it can be fixed.

        Horrible leadership at both schools. Goat rodeo. I mean look at how many other coaches besides hockey that UAF needs to fill. Speaks volumes. If you had someone who knew their *** from a hole in the ground in charge, none of this would be playing out in the media.

          Gotta disagree with this. But it's true with UA_, they are not putting in the $$ that UAA is, and has been. Their head coach made $99,999 last season. THAT is pathetic. Makes you wonder what their assistants get paid.

          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.

            Whose been better the last 25+ years? Last 10, last 5?

            This is not black and white, more $ clearly does not equal a better program.

              Is that with or without the bonus for winning another governor's cup or making the playoffs? Asking for a friend.

                ...but I agree. Even as an interim $100k was insulting.

                  You can throw all the money you want at any organization and it won’t matter one iota if you don’t hire the right people for the right roles.

                    Why would they comment and completely destroy any leverage they have? Are you really that dense?

                        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.

                          And yet, you are the conspiracy theorist.

                          Any comment from the higher ups would at least shed some light.

                                Nope. Nothing official anyway.

                                Still lots of speculation. I wrote the interim AD in the hopes of finding out why they haven’t responded to any of the CHN claims or made any statement and I really was not given anything helpful in response.
