  • Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves 2011-2012 Thread - Here We Go!

    Alright, so with less than 30 days to go until the Seawolves open in Wasilla against NAIT, I figured that it would be time to open this thread. Since I'm not really that detail oriented, I'll just touch on a few things.

    1 - The new recruits look good this year. A line of Bailey, Mellor, and Allen would be awesome.

    2 - For once, I don't think we have the toughest schedule in the nation. Anyone who's been a Seawolf fan for awhile knows that for some reason, we always seem to end up with one of the hardest schedules.

    3 - As some of you may know, I made a (rather bold) prediction that the Seawolves would get home ice. I still stand by that prediction (despite the negative rep. that prediction got) because this year I honestly believe in this team. Last year they were competitive and this year I think they can be competitive enough to challenge for home ice.

    So that is all. Feel free to discuss!

      Thanks, you're right, I completely forgot about the blue line depth we have this year. I'm especially excited to see Austin Coldwell this year, he'll be a great addition.

      Oh, and former Seawolf Luka Vidmar has signed a contract with the ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers, so congrats to him!
      Go 'Wolves!

        I am also excited about this year and our new recruits. Believe Allen will be one to take to the Div 1 level with no problem.

            I'm not positive, but I don't think they do. If anyone knows anything definitive please post the info.

            I'm very excited to see what Mellor brings to the table. Our entire incoming class looks solid, but I am a bit nervous about how young this team is. There are 9 freshmen and 9 sophmores. Only two seniors! It may be a tough start, until the freshmen adjust to the speed of college hockey, but I think we'll be okay.

            UAF is 56-86-12 vs. UAA.

              I'm pretty sure they stream the late games, with UAA playing, but not the early games with UAF. That's how it was other years, anyway.

                I watched the CC / UAA game real time on tv last year and the others on B2 or GCI online. I can't remember but I think it was B2.

                  They have shown all uaa home games including the kendall online, not uaf's games.

                  While i am happy to see Mellor, i'm very excited to see Scott Allen, and i think Eric Scheid will surprise a few people, and just a sidenote Suze, we've got 3 seniors (Leinweber, Gorham, & Portwood)

                      Thanks for correcting my error. Either way, we still have a lot of underclassmen on the roster. Still, I think this years freshmen class is a solid one and I can't wait to see them in action.

                        Yes we do have lots of Underclassmen, but last year's freshman class showed lots of poise and confidence all season, and i think the caliber of players coming can do the same thing as well.

                          If anyone goes to the new arena groundbreaking celebration on Friday (I'm not sure yet if I can make it..) ..it will be interesting to see if Chancellor Case mentions adding ice to the facility.

                          I asked him about it just over a week ago. He said that they realize how important it is, and that they ARE currently pursuing the additional funding. They already have over $110 million, so how much more do they need anyway?

                          In any event.. I hope they address it!

                            A lot more. Ice making doesn't come cheap and construction costs are very high in Alaska.
