The end game for UAF/A is going to be a true western league, and that’s more of a 5 year plan. COVID slammed the brakes on any near-term resolution to that issue. Without that, honestly, I’m not sure what the point is. Most of the rest of college hockey has made it abundantly clear they aren’t interested in Alaska (or western teams in general).
As for CCHA teams, I could maybe see Tech, NMU and Mankato occasionally scheduling the Alaska teams. Ferris and LSSU are too poor to make the trip without us paying for it, and the general feeling around our parts is that BG/Bemidji can go jump in a Great Lake.
The scheduling will be interesting. I’m guessing the Governors Cup will go to at least 6 if not 8 games a season. We have a scheduling agreement with ASU, so that’s 10 (or 12 if we play them 4 times). If Huntsville continues to exist they’ll be on the schedule probably 4 games if they’re independent. We always have one or two NCHC teams scheduled anyway, so that gets to about 18 or 20 games. That’s assuming UAA and UAH continue to exist.

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.

Has anyone talked about the Alaska schools doing 4 game air flights and playing schools semi nearby to a major airport. Players doing school online for a week. Play Sun-Mon at one place then Thurs-Fri at the next. Maybe a school with excess housing could work a deal out for housing and do 6 games in early January when most students are away from campus. Just for Geography sake. Fly into Detroit, stay at UM or State and hit two games at 3 schools in semi quick succession.

Travelling to ONE Alaska school wasn't a problem. The problem was two trips to Alaska a year, combined with the consistent "will they/won't they" have a team next season. UAH got left out because they hadn't put the program on solid footing.

For perspective, although the other WCHA teams made 2 trips to Alaska, the Alaska teams were making 10+/- trips to the Midwest. I wonder if the lack of solid footing was at all related to paying travel subsidies?
