    'Many friends' huh? More than 1, less than 50?

    A fricken restaurant gets you riled up like this??

    Frankly, you made more out of this than needed to be.

    "edit" And frankly, there is no way we go D1 in all sports... A soccer team and football team will not happen. Even if that is the case, the state gets them new digs before hockey?

    We'll all be dead before this happens..
    Wow Florida, you need to chill out. Anything that is new at UAA is exciting! And if you dont think we wont become D-1 in all sports, you need to take your head out your ( you know what!) I say it is a great day to be a SEAWOLF!

      You are correct, anything, sportwise, is great news, a 'pub' in an arena, ehhh, (you get more than 2500(average)documented seats filled for a season) for any sports hosted at the new AAC, I'll buy you a beer. And I'll stand corrected.

      Granted, I'm bitter about the no ice..


      I do agree though, It's a great day to be Seawolf!

        I could see a soccer team (or teams). Wouldn't take much beyond some facilities at The Dome or on campus. Plus the soccer community would support it.

          I know, i hate we have no ice too! But lets see what Hacket has for us in his bag of tricks. He just might pull off a new ice arena in our lifetime! Maybe there is a means to and end!

            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'd call, however I don't have their number.
              Could you look it up for me?

                  This is a HOCKEY forum Wolfman. Kinda hard for us to get excited about anything having to do with the furtherment of every sport at UAA other than Seawolf hockey!! Hockey was given the cold shoulder, plain and simple.

                  UAF is 56-86-12 vs. UAA.

                    Suze,

                    First of all, I was not the one that brought this "exciting news" up!!! Second of all, if you don't think that the new AAC will generate revenue for the HOCKEY program too, then you need to re-evaluate it again! Plain and simple. You even said it yourself, Hackett is intending for the AAC to benefit the HOCKEY program too in the use of the facility for training. So, this IS HOCKEY related. Do not get mad at me. There are some of us who like ALL of UAA sports and want to see ALL the sports to include HOCKEY grow! This is a HOCKEY board, but elements of the new features benefit hockey!!!!!

                      Suze you and Wolfman are looking at UAA thru a "road cone" He’s looking thru the little end and you are looking thru the big end. Yes Hockey has got the "cold shoulder" due to title 9 and the other sports "playing catch up" with faculties. The other sports in August will be “ahead of Hockey” and the AD can focus more on Hockey but…… Mr. Hackett has to deal with all sports not just be loyal to one and forget the rest. The Training facilities at the new ACC will benefit “all sports teams” as well as all students. So it’s not in the same building, the team makes many trips to other facilities to train as well as the military base and flattop mountain. Not trying to water down anybodies Wheaties bowl. You focus mostly to hockey which is fine, but Wolfman is looking at the Big Picture of All sports. Going D-1 in all sports is the Goal of UAA. I am a big UAA Hockey fan but I also go to basketball, volleyball and even went to my first Gymnastics Meet this year. It was fun to watch even for a first time fan with no clue in how they scored the meet.

                        Alaska hockey you are EXACTLY correct! I am a DIE HARD UAA hockey fan, but also a DIE HARD UAA FAN! The whole reason for a HUGE venue was to go (future) D-1 in all sports. It might not be with next 5 years but certainly sooner rather than later. I want a hockey venue on campus! As a mater of fact I wish for a 7,500 seat hockey arena on campus, but I am afraid it will prob be only 3000 seats.

                        I love suze and everyone who loves UAA. I am friends with lots of them, and I dont want anyone not to like me. I want our hockey team to flourish and I am so happy with our new couch! We have much success this year and I am looking for (and cant wait till) next season!

                          According to whom? Because I have had several discussions about this, and this is not what I have heard. In fact, I've been told that the UA president does not want it.

                            Suze, when I was on the UAA Alumni Board of Directors, this is the same UA prez who said UAA would Never get PhD programs!!! Guess what! He approved UAA to move to doctoral granting university! UAA now is doctoral granting. So not sure who can listen to people!

                              You should call ol' Patsy up and ask him point blank. I will not waste my time with him.
