    I am thankful we have been blessed with solid goaltending from the likes of Naumenko, King/Reiter, Lawson, Christensen, Gundy/Kamal, and Mantha.
    Glencross & Bailey good players yes, but I would not go as far to say carry the team. Scott Allen was right there with him and he was a returner. This team has had other scorers but each are unique and each usually play a different game. It is the coaches job to adjust to this players scoring talent.

      Your hubris toward UAF and Fairbanks is emblematic of UAA’s general attitude toward its elder sibling and northern neighbor, which is part of your problem. Until you recognize what you are competing against, not just against UAF but against the WCHA as a whole, the “but we’re Anchorage and they’re not” argument is going to continue to let you down.

      The other part of your problem is that UAA is a basketball school. Strategic Pathways emphatically proved that.

      Those two issues are, in a nutshell, why UAA can’t, or perhaps more accurately won’t, figure out hockey.

      Matt Thomas seems like a good guy and a good coach, but (and I’ve said this before) I don’t think he’s the right coach for UAA. It’s unfortunate for him and his family but I can’t fathom UAA renewing his contract when it is up (and I think it’s up after this year, isn’t it?). The results on the ice just simply aren’t there, especially for what UAA is paying him.

      And for the record, I want UAA to succeed in hockey except when you play us. We’re in this dinghy together, like it or not.

      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.

        I have been told that there is a lot to do and see in Anchorage. Maybe your coach and players are so enthralled with boat shows and boy bands that they just lose focus. Sad.

          Allen had his senior year to shine but nothing much came from it, he played a lot better with Bailey and Kwas.
          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.

                What an obscure penalty called on Kozun at the end of the first period! He comes out of the penalty box and would have had a breakaway but the ref nails him for touching the puck without both skates on the ice? Never, ever, in the 28 years we have followed UAA hockey, seen that called.
                Typically players are smart enough to not make that move, hence why it is a penalty. But excitement can get to the best of us, even precious Kozun.

                  Delusional much?

                  Even AKSWF states Anchorage isn't a sports town, as noted by the departure of certain teams. According to Strategic Pathways, we have a very aggressive donor base. I think we could stay afloat if seawolf hockey goes away. BUT for the sake of loving the game, I hope you don't have to experience that loss.

                    UA_ does have a larger donor base than UAA, that's true. But I read the donors give $50,000 a year. That is a drop in the bucket compared to the overall hockey budget.

                    For the record, when I refer to Fairbanks in comparison to UAA, I am comparing the CITIES, not the Universities. Fairbanks is colder, darker and much more remote. There is little to do there, especially in the winter. Those facts alone should make recruiting there hard ... and based on those facts alone UAA SHOULD be able to out recruit them - or at the very least be on par with their level of competitiveness.

                    UAF is 56-86-12 vs. UAA.

                      It shouldn’t be hard for you to get me tickets to the Grizzles, Gold kings, Top of the world B Ball tourney, or the Hockey preseason tourney is it?

                      According to the Fisher report the head shed should be in anchorage because what was a good idea 100 years ago is outdated and inefficient.

                      Oh you will be afloat alright all by yourself as a independent playing in the Big Dipper beer house league just like it was before UAA carried collage hockey forward in Alaska .

                      Remind me the CCHA had first pick.

                          Thankfully our hockey tourney will be back next year. It only went away because of the uncertainty with the programs. The Kendall went away because it wasn’t making money.

                            You must not get outside much. There’s plenty to do outdoors. Skiing, snowboarding, tubing, ice fishing. All the things that Anchorage has are a distraction, maybe that’s why your team isn’t performing satisfactorily.

                            When you are recruiting athletes, we have plenty to offer in the summer AND winter that are appealing.

                                Kinda hard to enjoy all that when it's 30 below and dark outside. Good spin though.
