"Why, as a matter of fact, I suggested starting a hockey program to Father Callahan, our president. He was downright interested until we came to the use of sticks, and then he threw up his hands. He said, 'No, that game is not for our University. Notre Dame will never endorse any game that puts a club in the hands of an Irishman.' "

Re: UAF is in (for the first time evah!)
I like that "evah" is included as part of the title. Is that supposed to be a reference to the fact that Alaska is heading out to Worcester (or Woostah as people in Mass call it)?
Anyway, congrats Alaska. If you guys even bring 1/100th of the fans to Worcester that Maine brought to the Garden this weekend, I'll be impressed. See you next week!
P.S. Will your state's most famous hockey mom be making the trip? Or is she an Anchorage fan?

The evah was a nod to where it looked like the team would end up.Originally posted by bcfan131 View PostI like that "evah" is included as part of the title. Is that supposed to be a reference to the fact that Alaska is heading out to Worcester (or Woostah as people in Mass call it)?

On the road UAF usually gets a small but vocal groups of fans that show up at games. Anyone in the area with any connection at all to Alaska hockey will be at the game, might only be a couple hundred but you should know they are there.
I hope Palin doesn't show up, she did I think drop the puck at a Governor's Cup game years ago, but I don't want this team to be associated with her. I could almost imagine her trying to get some facetime somehow and it would bring attention to the team and hockey, I wouldn't be shocked if she somehow showed up.Comment

9:30 AM next Saturday vs. BC on ESPN360.
Time to figure out how to use ESPN360.
If I didn't have commitments next weekend I can't get out of you could bet that I'd be burning up the frequent flier miles and getting on a plane to Boston.

Re: UAF is in (for the first time evah!)
Same here. I was thinking about looking into tickets, and then I remembered the Home Show is this weekend. The one weekend out of the whole year that if I were to ask for time off work, they'd just look at me and laughOriginally posted by Squarebanks View Post
I dunno about down in Anchorage, but up here, I think ESPN360.com is impossible to access. I remember not being able to last year or the year before, and the Nanook hockey blog confirms that. Hopefully they can figure out some sort of workaround. REALLY don't wanna miss this weekend

Re: UAF is in (for the first time evah!)
It's impossible in Anchorage, too. Supposedly it's available to college campuses so UAF might be able to pick up a feed and broadcast it in Schaible or the Wood Center. Us Anchorage-based Nanooks are likely ****-out-of-luck for this game, unless the alumni association cuts a deal to broadcast it at UAA for us (fat chance!).Originally posted by AKJD View PostSame here.

Re: UAF is in (for the first time evah!)
GO NOOKS!All that was left, then, was for the Nanooks to celebrate with their fans. And for the Seawolves to get one last earful of the rowdies from Fairbanks.
"I've got a lot of expletives I'd like to use,'' Fournier said, slumped in his locker room stall. "It's very embarrassing when you're playing on your home ice and they have more fans and they're louder.
"We might as well have played the games in Fairbanks.''Comment
