The Alaska Nanooks are CHN team of the week.
Good job boys. Keep it rolling at Penn State Thursday night.

Go Nooks!

They were featured on the CHN podcast which was great to hear. A lot.of.positive vibes from the hosts.

Sacred heart was with Penn State in shots both nights. Power play goals helped put the nail in the coffin though. Discipline is a big emphasis this weekend.

Nooks lose 7-0 to Penn State, but it wasn't that close.
PSU is a very good skating team, but we helped make them look great.
Not just a bad outcome, but a very disappointing team effort by the Nooks.

Any UAA fans have 6 tickets for sale? Lol

Edit: Only need 3 tickets each night

Whoa, didn't see that coming. The Nooks looked very good against both DU and Tech!

USCHO is not letting me edit my signature. Keep getting an "invalid file" error message. I may just delete it.
Edit: won't let me delete it either. I sent them an email a few weeks ago but I'm sure I'll never hear from them.

Wow it looks like the Nanooks might pull off a big upset. 2-0 Alaska after 2.

Great job boys. Way to respond.
The Nooks take down PSU 4-0.
PSU was never really in the game. Most of their shots were two feet inside the blue line or two feet off the boards, few quality scoring chances. But great team defensive effort by the Nooks never let them get behind us.
I've never seen a two game series so flip-flopped.

Go Nooks!

Fantastic response by the Nooks tonight. Some stupid penalties taken but overall I liked what I saw. Can’t wait for next weekend!

What a night!!! Made it in town for the revenge game after traveling on Thursday. It was fun, especially in the third period as both the players and fans got frustrated. We turned it up a notch in the third period for sure. Good to get back on track as we head to anchorage next week.

NookALum on board... I'm a newby to posting. Very impressive bounce back efforrt for the team against avery talented Penn State team. Really a good sign for the team moving forward. I've watched every game thus far either live or via online and the Nanaooks could very well be the surprise team in college hockey this year...something that very few saw coming. They truley didnt allow Penn Stae much tonight..very similar to last weekend's Mchigan Tech series. Don't be surprized in a top-four WCHA finish ths year, as they should only get stronger and more confident as the season progresses

Welcome!

Positivity after big wins is huge.

If you told me the Nanooks would be 3-3-0 after two series against top 10 teams and a trip to the black hole in Houghton, I would have taken it.

But you're right, this Nanooks team looks to be a real contender. But the guys need to keep growing and getting better everyday. October Nanooks are looking good early on, but staying healthy and growing will need to be an emphasis to sustain success.

It's not all roses though. While the power play has gotten chances, they have not produced. They've allowed more shorthanded goals against than they've scored power play goals for. That's a trend that needs to change.

Couple of trap games in Anchorage coming up. They need to win the games they're supposed to and a few that they aren't.

Actually, to have a 3-3 record against the schedule we just played (with 4 of 6 games on the road and the lone home series against top ranked Denver) is very impressive, especially considering that we have not been successful on the pp yet. Moved the puck on the pp pretty well tonight though, just need to pull the trigger and shoot more. PK has been very good though.
UAF will certainly be favored against the Sea pups next weekend, but being a rivalry game, anything can happen and usaually does.

Welcome...always nice to have another good guy around here. Seawolves will be doing everything they can to not break in their new digs with a couple of L’s next weekend. I expect desperation and shenanigans to occur.
