New boards/glass. Lower bowl seating is also getting a makeover. Sounds like the Aces are making a push for some higher priced club seating with premium views.

For all the money we shell out to bring their team here PLUS all the $$$ they'll get to make off of this weekend when they schedule two extra games at home, they got lucky. I think they should be paying us for providing them such novelties as showers! That's a luxury at home for _airbanks folks.
I'll give and let _airbanks enjoy the amenities of real civilization; instead let's make it the permanent home of any B$g Ten or Quitter conference schools that we invite to our tournament in the future.

That must be your way of showing you've never seen the UAA locker room at the Sully? It might not be as new as the one up north but its hardly the storage area where UW gets to hang out this weekend.
A brand new "production company" is supposed to be online to handle all production elements. Needless to say that doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy quite yet about the workings of the system but I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

The old geezers skating for the Aces must be getting tired on the big ice. Maybe that would've helped them out a bit this week...

For the sake of squashing this popular misconception:
They don't get any extra games at home for playing in Alaska. If they hadn't gone up there, the rest of their schedule would have looked exactly the same.
Not sure how people still don't get this...
Good luck to UAA this weekend. I'd like to see them jump out to a 2-0 record.

Re: 2014 Kendall Classic: UAA, UAF, Wisconsin, Maine.
An article from what appears to be a Madison, Wisconsin source of journalism explains why the UW schedule looks the exact same. Sorry we couldn't come up with a non-conference opponent in addition to helping the pocket book of a B$g Ten school.
"UW coach Mike Eaves confirmed this week that regular-season schedule will remain at 34 games – 18 at home, 16 on the road – even though he has the option to play two more.
The Badgers open the season Oct. 10 joining host Alaska-Anchorage, Alaska-Fairbanks and Maine in the Kendall Hockey Classic in Anchorage. The two games there are exempted by the NCAA because they take place outside the continental U.S. That means UW could play 36 overall.
But despite a commitment to play the extra series on the road inside of a two-week window – either Oct. 24 and 25 or Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 – Eaves said he found no takers.
“We tried,’’ he said."
Hate to burst your bubble but you're just wrong...

Oi. That still doesn't give them extra games at home. The games in Alaska don't add games to the rest of their schedule. The games in Alaska themselves are what is added. And those games are in Alaska. Meaning not at home.
UW would have been in the same situation regardless of whether or not they played in the Kendall Classic.

Re: 2014 Kendall Classic: UAA, UAF, Wisconsin, Maine.
It is the games here that are the "extra" games. You are correct.
The confusion comes when it's conference versus non-conference games in Alaska. Conference games in Alaska essentially provide the mechanism for "extra" games at home since they are exempt from the 34 game limit.
It's always created confusion. There was a time a few years ago when I was confused by this. But Stauber1 is correct.

He just said it was a first, he wasn't like ripping anyone to shreds or anything. Sounds like someone is a little sensitive to the conditions themselves. I think it's a great bonding opportunity for such a young team like UW.

The assembly approved this before the Aces bought the scoreboard ... not sure what happened! And the ice will remain the same size, it's the construction and "guts" that will be of a higher standard, if that makes sense?

Dozens of teams faced this minor adversity with zero pictures and tweets. Just sayin ... Gary Shuchuk is the first to make it an issue. So it was worthy of a little poke ... I'm sure he had a couple of laughs tweeting it ... I had a coupla more laughs responding.
There's no sensitive about it.

Peterson in net tonight for the Badgers. Apparently, Rumpel had a lot of tests this week, including a very early one.
What is the University coming to, when we allow academics to get in the way of our hockey!

Re: 2014 Kendall Classic: UAA, UAF, Wisconsin, Maine.
Well where gonna win 5-0 now against you guys, I jokes. I do see UAA getting the sweep. Maine I feel this early in the season traveling that far, late start which equates to a midnight game in Maine, they just might come out a little flat and erratic. Our boys hopefully won't come out to cocky after that 8-0 victory over Western Ontario.
UAA 3-1 Maine
UA_4-2 Bucky (I hate both as many, either way us Seawolf fans will lose)
UAA 3-2 Bucky [Bucky is going to get the short stick in this event, they just lost too much (Rumpel also)]
UA_ 2-3 Maine OT (Maine is gonna get ****ed and play a helluva a lot better, UA_ might just get too cocky after beating the "#10" team in the nation)

I'm pretty excited for tonight and this weekend. I'll be heading down to the rink in a short while ... Maine, Bucky and 'nook fans remember to stop by my blog for constant game updates (especially if you aren't watching the webcast) and hopefully I can put up some multimedia (pics and videos) to keep you abreast of the goings on my Chatango window.
GoSeawolves.com will have the regular livestats up on their page for the UAA games only ... I would imagine UA_ will have the same setup for their games. Those of course are always worth following but I'll try to give impressions and analysis. Also just stop by to chat me up on the Chatango I have running.
