  • Re: Alaska Nanooks 2017-2018 Season

    Basically to save money they had this report completed.


    As far as athletics are concerned, they wanted to do one of three things.

    1. Eliminate all sports
    2. Combine all athletics to be one team but at several locations
    3. Separate programs but with modifications meaning replace sports like hockey with soccer and eliminate programs at UAA to get to the minimum required by NCAA.

        Or it’s all BS. All the info is coming from an unnamed source through CHN. Everyone is acting like this **** is gospel and in reality it’s unsubstantiated rumor.

          What exactly are you claiming is unsubstantiated rumor?

            Nothing has been disproven thus far.

              Everything coming out on UAA and UAF. It’s all from one source, nothing is being backed up publicly from other sources.

                Nothing has been proven either.

                    Money and support talks. There are also a number of other positions (mostly assistant) opening up that would be less of a culture shock to the family regardless of compensation. We don’t know what the real reason for declining is. When push comes to shove, there are any number of reasons to get cold feet, not just the rational that resonates with the coaching fraternity, even thought that will probably be the official reason.

                    I don’t believe this reflects that poorly on Lance. The program has been plodding along for about 15 years with coaches rooted in Nanook hockey (MacMillan & Ferguson). Not necessarily bad, but maybe it is time for a change. Someone not previously associated with the program. Who knows where we go from here.

                      Do either teams have a coach right now from the pool of finalists that were named?

                        Well I can tell you I have multiple sources that both Ellsworth and Brekke were offered the respective positions they're linked to. I'm attempting to confirm that Brekke declined after being offered...do I need to say that I know Ellsworth turned down UAA? I never looked into Carle or Mayotte because no one came to me with an initial report and I don't have any connection with either of them.

                        Hows that?

                          I think so. But I also believe someone can withdraw their application and therefore they never applied.

                            There are more than two sides...but you're correct, can't do much when candidates talk.
                            But that is usually after the fact. "I was offered but turned it down, yada, yada, yada."

                            I doubt Brekke told anyone but his high school age son, to alleviate his worst fears...

                              What are the sources then? Where's the info coming from? Coaches themselves? Agents involved? The Universities?

                                UAA never named any finalists officially, all the names came from a CHN article.
