    What size is the ice in each one?
    I believe Patty is NHL size as well. This move nearly happened a few years ago, and IMO probably should have.

    The long-term goal has been to remodel and expand the Patty Center into a facility that seats around 3000 for hockey and get out of the Carlson Center. The most likely scenario, especially in this environment, is using a
    public-private partnership. This is how the Wood Center was renovated and expanded a few years ago. But it’ll be a while before anything comes to fruition.

    If they rip out the bleachers and put in actual seats, like they did on the basketball/volleyball side of the Patty a few years ago, and upgrade the sound, scoreboard, and a few other things it wouldn’t be a bad solution. It would be something similar to Ferris State’s setup with the low ceiling.

      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 agree it would be extremely difficult to recruit too. Even 10s of millions $ wouldn't bring it up to par.
        Never been in the Patty Center so have no idea what it's like but I'm hoping with several million $ they could bring it up to something they could recruit too.
        Don't like to be in bed with UA_ but darn it like it or not we're in this thing together.

          Dunleavy already did that, just as they were starting to recover from the last time their necks were in the hangman’s noose.

            In addition to Dunleavy trying to send Alaska back to the territorial days, the other issue is the ice plant at the Carlson is dying a slow death.

              Is that the original ice plant from 1990?

                    Good player. Glad to see he landed on his feet.

                      Nooks have picked up a commitment from Swedish native Didrik Henbrant. A forward 40 points on the season with NAHL Minot.
