  • Alaska Nanooks 2015-16 Season Thread - Straight Outta Sanction…

    Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug


    Nothing like a trendy meme to kick off the season.

    More importantly, the sanction is basically behind us and the boys have something to play for. We have eight incoming freshman and a solid core of returning players.

    We’ll miss the early departure of both Shawn Hochhausen and Colton Parayko. Shawn was a strong presence for us on the ice and a good student. Not sure of the circumstances, but I wish him well. Doesn’t look like they’ll be adding a forward to fill that spot. That leaves us with only 14 forwards. An injury or two and everybody gets playing time. Can’t say enough about what Parayko meant to our team, so I won’t. But a healthy Justin Woods would not only help offset the loss of Parayko, but just in itself would represent a huge comeback and successful season. Sure, we want all the wins we can muster, but some things are more important than hockey.

    Here is a snapshot of the team right now:

    And if you are as antsy as I am for the season to start, here’s what’s up first:

    Sep 26, Sat, Blue/Gold game, 7:07pm at the Patty Rink
    Oct 4, Sun, Mt. Royal University Cougars, 3:07pm at the Carlson Center
    Oct 9-10, Kendall Classic in Anchorage, vs St Cloud St. and Arizona St.
    Oct 16-17, Brice Goal Rush, Carlson Center, vs AIC and RPI

    The Nooks are one of three teams to qualify (top four finish) for home ice in each of the first two seasons of the nWCHA. Let’s keep that streak going, along with a seventh straight Governor’s Cup.

    Go Nooks!

    Matt Friese was another early departure this summer. Nothing dubious from what I understand, just time to get on with life.

    Looking forward to the changes in the Carlson Center this year. It was time...probably past time, actually...to shake things up on the game day experience. If they get rid of that stupid hit the road song for opposing penalties I'll be even happier.

    Last year's team left something to build on...hopefully they do just that. But they are definitely skewed towards freshmen and sophomores. Should be exciting. Ferguson, in my totally unbiased opinion, should have gotten the WCHA COY award last year for not just holding the team together but thriving under the circumstances, and it'll take another season of strong leadership from the staff and whoever gets the C for sustained success.

    Looking forward to seeing what these guys can do, and hopefully a trip to beautiful Grand Rapids on top of it.

      Good catch Squarebanks.
      I forgot to mention the early departure of both Matt Friese and Jared Linnell. Good luck to both.

      We definitively have potential. But like most teams, success will depend a lot on if the boys really got after it in the weight room in the off season, if the incoming freshman buy into the system and into the required work ethic (on the ice and in the classroom), and if one of our goal tenders can step it up and be consistently good.

      Go Nooks!

        Surprised to hear of so many leaving early. Especially Linnell. Didn't his dad play hockey for the Nanooks?

        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.

          Dad played hockey and Mom played volleyball for UAF. Good kid with some bad luck. I believe Jared struggled to come back from injuries/surgeries, and despite his best effort, never quite got back to where he was or needed to be. But I have no first-hand knowledge, I’m just repeating hearsay.

            As usual, Nanook alumni are changing the world in a good way.

                  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.
