Re: LSSU Lakers 2019 off-season thread
Originally posted by davyd83 View PostSuze, Ive been up to Alaska over a dozen times on hockey trips. And many times, Fairbanks has been 17+ hours from Marquette, Mi in flight and layover time. Nine hours is the shortest current Minneapolis to Fairbanks connection. Now from Marquette, add 8 hours of bus trip (including a meal stop) and needing to arrive at least 3 hours ahead to process a party of 28 plus equipment and that’s 20 hours. The quickest current Marquette to Fairbanks is 17:45 plus arriving 2:30 hrs early to check in and the ride to the airport and you have a 20+ hour travel day. Anchorage is a little better, but those days are usually 13-16 hrs. And, no, there isn’t usually a group discount with airlines on 54 seat planes out of Marquette for parties of 28. Nor from MSP. It often costs more to get a group that large all on to one flight than average Joe would pay for one seat or even a family of four. Yes, if you get the direct MSP to ANC, it’s 6 hrs. Again bus ride from Marquette to MSP plus check in time makes that about 18 hrs. Or MQT to ANC is 14+ hours travel time if you get the direct MSP-ANC or another 4-6 hrs thru SEA.Originally Posted by aparch
I love the "UA_" comment. When I see it, I think of re-runs of Match Game, and Gene Rayburn going "U, A, Blank... UA blank"
From ADN:
"According to NCAA, the (UAF) hockey team used ineligible players in every game played from the 2007-08 season to the 2010-11 season. Over that span, the wins and ties will all become losses. 4 wins and 2 ties came against rival UAA".
UAF is 56-86-12 vs. UAA.

Originally posted by purpleinnebraska View PostMaybe, although I know Minnesota State has skipped the extra 2 games in recent years, opting for November and February bye weeks instead. There can be great value in those extra 2 games, but you have to find a willing opponent who will come to your place at the right time.
Even BSU is passing on the two extra games (actually, they would have four as this year if they wanted) and taking the bye weeks.Millsy

Re: LSSU Lakers 2019 off-season thread
It looks like the Lakers will play in the Catamount Cup right before New Years. They will play Providence on December 28 and then Vermont on December 29 in a Saturday/Sunday Series.

I believe the Lakers last played in the Catamount Cup in 2015 finishing as the runner up.LSSU hockey-3 time NCAA champs 1988, 1992, 1994

Originally posted by Bill View PostAlways nice to play in some kind of in-season tournament involving non-conference teams. Some years the scheduling allows for it and some years it doesn't. Depending upon what happens with the Alaska budget situation, these 2 games may be a very welcome addition to the schedule, although some sort of compromise may be reached up there. If not, the Alaska schools could disappear from the landscape pretty quickly.
Is there a Laker Hockey Talk show next week? It should be pretty interesting to hear Damon's view on the possible realignment and the situation with the Alaska teams.LSSU hockey-3 time NCAA champs 1988, 1992, 1994
