Thanks for the recap; I was wondering how that went. UAF is planning on playing sports in the fall...a big question is whether or not fans are allowed. But the big question, in my mind, is if the 14 day quarantine is still in effect. If it is, it effectively torpedoes our sports season unless we just play UAA 34 times.

Another BIG hurdle is the social distancing rule. How do you compete in sports with that rule in place?

I imagine they can make an exception on the 14 day quarantine for athletic purposes much like the exception that's in place for things like flight crews and such.

I'm thinking people are so sports hungry they will settle for not being in the stands but ok with TV or Livestream payments (?). Maybe the players will only be allowed to wear spitguard style facemasks? Maybe I am hoping this is a worse case scenario.

They just announced exceptions for the NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL, MLB and other pro sports.

Because the Dumbleavy administration has shown a real willingness to partner with UA and find mutually beneficial solutions, after all.

Thanks. All the general suckiness about UAH closing up shop aside, it definitely hurts us to lose a fellow outcast partner. Even if UAH had tried to join up with the seven roaches (which frankly would have made the most sense for you, more than trying to cobble together some kind of western league with UAF/A and possibly ASU) I still imagine we would have played each other frequently as an independent. The relationship was always good with Huntsville.

Take care, and charge on. We will miss UAH.

You can keep the games before any of your current players were born, I’ll keep 13 goals against 8 and 3-1 record in 2019-20 along with 11 straight years of waving that trophy in front of your big city vocational institute.

Thanks. You stay safe and healthy as well. And I hope we hear from you from time to time on this forum. You will be missed if we don't.

Started the push way too late, still way behind.
 
Re: so...AK/UAA...COVID-19

Breaking NEWS...UAH Hockey has been given a chance to raise a million dollars to save hockey. Friends and alumni have started a GO FUND ME PAGE on Facebook and other mediums to raise $500,000 by Friday. The President at UAH is giving them a chance...

Perhaps this is an example of Alaskan humor, but it cleverly evokes a clear image. Hopefully you are able to raise the $ by Friday. There has been a fair bit of talent coming out of Alaska (just ask Maine). The kids deserve to have a local D1 option. At least the price of oil is recovering a bit. Maybe that will help in some way.

In another thread the UAH fans were saying they already turned down other funding. The damage has already been done, three of their best players have left for other schools.
