Re: Alaska Nanooks Offseason Thread: “I’ll be back”...
Hockey is almost here but you can hardly tell by the weather we're having. Near 70 in mid-September is living on borrowed time. Drove down to Paxson Lake this weekend and helped a friend bring his old "sled" back to town. Absolutely perfect weather. It reminds me of what living in Alaska is all about.

We tried telling a couple of chechackos that we were looking for early snowfall, but I don't think they bought it.

Hope the new recruits are getting a chance to get off campus to experience some of the outdoors. Even the campus trails and equinox marathon route are beautiful this time of year.
But back to hockey. Squarebanks is right, we get tested early (insert Seawolve co-ed joke here). But UND is not the yardstick to worry about out of the gate. The three other teams we face are very tough, very solid last year, and I think more important games to start the season. We'll have our hands full.
UND 25-13-5
Air Force 16-15-6
CC 19-17-3
Union 21-12-6
I'm a little confused. I understand that we have the Blue/Gold game on Saturday, Sept 25th and Windsor on Thursday, Sept 30th. I dropped by the Carlson to see what the new glass/boards look like, but they had just taken them down. One of the guys who looked in charge said they weren't going back up until Oct 6th or so. The News-miner says we play Windsor at the Carlson, but the guy at the Carlson said the game is at the Patty. Can anybody confirm that? Isn't that usually part of the ticket package. Bummer if it is at the Patty.
Anybody know when official practices start? I believe we get to start a little earlier than most because of lost practice days due to our travel schedule throughout the year. Or maybe not.
Go Nooks!
