I was just being a nice guy by informing you of the possible negative ramifications of your statements. I didn't realize you're working for the plantiffs lawyer.

The Seawolf Hockey Alliance sent an email out to supporters. Most of it was filler info, but it briefly talks about a the dream of a new arena for seawolf hockey.
“There is important work ahead, too, as we continue our efforts toward a permanent home for Seawolf Hockey at a new UAA Community Ice Complex. I believe strongly in what a facility like this could mean not only for Seawolf Hockey, but for our community. If we want to build a strong, vibrant Division I program for the long term, we need to keep thinking big about its future.”
There’s also a ‘Coaches Lunch’ on October 2 with Eric Rud and David Carle. The caption says ‘Join UAA Head Coach Eric Rud and Denver Head Coach David Carle for lunch and hear their thoughts on the season, the weekend series between UAA and Denver, and the state of collegiate hockey in general.’ If I was in Alaska I would check that out.

Kathie is leaning hard on her belief in Rud, it seems the CC and Denver series and then the last UA_ game is at the Sully. New Arena we would still have to finance, unless the new AD is friendly to hockey-rumor is he is not behind closed doors.

The United Collegiate Hockey Cup returns for 2027. The tournament will feature the same five teams as last year; UAA, UAF, Stonehill, Long Island, and Lindenwood.
There were some rumors that Maryville would be included, but that must have not come to fruition.

Great that we scored some goals, newcomers as well. On a personal note I want Contreras to succeed BAD but it appears like Cygan, teams have figured out how to stop and slightly deter him, he should take some notes from Spencer. Speaking of the UCHCup I loved the intensity that Spencer can have, he really has shown it to me since the second game in St. Louis. Love the undersized but fast forwards. Goaltending is still a huge question mark, coach mirrors that Marks is not ready yet to be a starter. I like that Gramme settled down but his positioning is sus. Defense was okay. I prefer Beiber but dude take a step back, you should be a compliment to the game.
New coach does seem upbeat and positive, welcome change-it also probably helps not to juggle three jobs and be a dad.

That's a bummer.
Some thoughts on this weekend, good to see the new AD having a good time at the games, that's encouraging. Attendance was bad, but the economy is terrible. The amount of free tickets given out to Wolverine games is crazy, UAA might have to go that route as well, the Sully tickets for this weekend are near wide open. Karter is hard not to love, total golden retriever vibes.

I stand corrected on my last post. During the stream the announcers said that UAA has played Mount Royal 3 times previously, 1984, and 1988 (x2). This was their 4th time seeing each other.
I thought the exhibition games went pretty well. I think we could have played better against Mount Royal- especially in goal. I was annoyed when Gramme let in a puck after literally 6 seconds of game time. The seawolves looked much better in game two, where they outshot UMary 42-20.
Attendance was bad. They were exhibition games, but it shouldn't be hard to get rid of 800 tickets

Wisconsin Badger here, Gramme was truly a serviceable option as a backup two seasons ago, he really held Bucky in some tough conference games. Hope he can find his groove and do the same for the seawolves
Hopefully, if there's anything we have in common now as states and teams since we aren't league members, we love to drink. Maybe too much.

Miss those WCHA days, and yes indeed to the drinking, cheers!

UAA vs Denver Not-So-Fun Facts
UAA is 17-51-7 against Denver all-time
The last time the Seawolves swept the Pioneers was in the 1998-99 season
The longest losing streak was 9 straight games between 2006 - 2009
However there is hope- during last season one of the 5 wins was against Denver.
I can only imagine starting the season with a sweep against the national champions.

For some decent stretches UAA stood toe to toe with Denver, overall though flavor of old UAA didn't feel good, but I was impressed by Rocha. Rud's team didn't back down, wasn't dirty per se, team overall looked good with a fresh start. The old man coverage while in the offensive zone but tighter in Denver's case I hoped to never see again, did not like to see no adjustments to it. Spencer has that dog in him, I hope we can keep him for two more seasons. Gramme I still don't care for, aggressiveness I like, positioning I do not. Rocha should swallow up some playing time, though I hope Marks get the next start so we can see truly what we have. Have the goalie competition winner of the first three games start the fourth. PK looked decent, PP needs some work-passing the puck back and forth on one side of the ice is sus. Defense looks better than last year. Good to see Krivtsov, one the home games last season where he stormed off the ice and rung the glass and boards before the fan salute, I knew he was gone, and Shasby's leash was shortened-still didn't think that was it though. I believe last season there was a lot of glass being roughly and lovingly rung by fans. The first game with Denver-that dudes poor girlfriend, the dude in the Douglas jersey-Shasby then was glaring at me though I didn't do anything outside of the norm that night, and then I at the first UCHCup game. We all wanted Matt and the team to succeed, a little too much. Thanks the other Matt for that explanation. I won't apologize for my passion, but I was a bit much in St. Louis. I really wish the Don was still alive, another season without Dunlop, RIP you were a real one. Would've loved to have bought you a beer for our first game back, beating ranked Western in our practice facility. Despite being outscored 10-3, I was pleased overall, mostly due to Saturday keeping the defending national champions honest for a good chunk of the game.

Obviously not the outcome we hoped for, but it was closer than the scoreboard makes it look. In game 2 the Seawolves actually held it together pretty good until midway in the third. Rocha looked great and a few guys were able to get some points. Overall not a bad first weekend.
Attendance wasn't bad as well.
