..Wonder if they'll leave the ice pink? The Aces are playing on pink ice tonight & tomorrow night @ the Sully, and did a skate with the kids on pink ice at the mall last week.

The Sully's ice is light pink, but the mall went a little crazy adding color to their ice..

Clarkson and Olympic ice do not mesh well. If anyone has speed at the forwards, they probably can turn the D and get great scoring chances.

As drew said, a split will be tremendous, but with a new coach I think this is an evaluation trip to see who will be the core group once ECAC play starts next month.

You did beat SLU on Olympic ice last year... of course I'd expect any team to get up for a rivalry game.

The Nooks will go with three freshman d-men, three seniors and one each of the sophomore/junior variety. We have nine freshmen in all and we're hopeful they all transition to the college game quickly. I like what I've seen so far.

I hope I can make it down for the games. If "Fighting Sioux 23" is correct, I could miss my chance to see Clarkson become a part of hockey history on Friday night. It may be the first time ever that a visiting hockey club played an Anchorage team that was as good as they thought they were. I didn't think that was possible...

Your roster shows some good sized D-men, overall you match up with UAA, larger than Alaska, which is usually on the small size with speed for the olympic ice.

Clarkson is flying out tomorrow. It is going to be interesting, judging from the exhibition game our D is going to have some growing pains. We will dress 2 (maybe 3) frosh dmen, 2 soph and 2 juniors. Hopefully they learn quickly.

St. Cloud is in a similar boat.
Our D-core consists of 1 senior, 1 junior, 3 sophomores (one of whom played only 4 games) and 3 freshmen.
We may be relying a lot of Lee to save some bacon early in the year.

I'm just hoping Clarkson can split. The team has never played in Alaska before, so travel will probably take more of a toll on us than it will on SCSU. I believe the team is leaving Wednesday. From looking at last year, it looks like Fairbanks is the better of the two teams, but Anchorage is the host; either way, it's an uphill battle for the Eastern team.

According to UAA's schedule, only the Anchorage games will be broadcast on GCI so it may be radio for the Friday night tilt vs. the Nanooks.

That's to bad!
