UAA `16-17 Let's end this thing with a BANG

Didn't ADN get bought recently or something? I know KTUU did.


Gotta keep pumping the Aces tires, the end is near.


I just gotta say, since Kari took over at KTUU, much more emphasis on high school sports. Twitter is flooded with scores and highlights from high school kids (Kari/ADN/KTUU/KTVA/Doyle/etc.), it's getting unbearable.

Did ADN shut down Doyle's hockey blog?

Sports coverage in ANC is a joke. Not that Fairbanks is much better but at least the local tv up there gives UAF decent coverage.

I haven't seen his blog in ages. His articles can be linked to from his Twitter feed. Doyle is a joke, always has been. Television usually gives better coverage of UAA hockey.

Doyle writes about what he's told to write about. Also, I've noticed he's writing more about other sports which likely cuts into his hockey time.

News Miner isn't much better anymore. I know a few people at UAF who wish they would run the recaps provided by the AD instead of continuing to churn out poorly written articles with typos.

Sad, it and the ADN both were solid papers (with solid sports sections) in their heyday, especially when you consider the market sizes.

In their defense, I would hate to try and operate a profitable local newspaper or even TV affiliate in today's digital environment. From my limited knowledge about the local operations, they are spread so thin that it's amazing that anything gets done or there is any consistency in coverage.

And as an aside, ADN just started charging for their on-line content ($99/year)

I agree totally...wasn't meaning to suggest otherwise. News Miner's been charging for online access for a couple years now.

Just a heads up, there won't be a UAA feed this weekend from Lake St. You'll have to pick up the Lakers feed. I'm sorry, but I will be in Big Rapids next week.

Sorry you won't be there, we'll miss you!

I'm really sorry. I hate letting our team and fans down, I'm really disappointed but I can't get around it.

David, thank you so much for your service to our country sir. From one Airman to another (retired) Airman. I appreciate all you do for our country and for UAA hockey. I was wondering if you were a UAA Alumni?

I am. I graduated in 2011 from JPC.

Wish Tuttle was calling it.
This Laker guy has a funny way of pronouncing words. Puts an extra syllable in a lot of words.
That said he's doing a pretty good job of calling the game.
Not a huge homer. Gives credit where it's due and knows our guys names.
His color guy is also doing a good job.
All in all he's probably the best away guy I've heard this year. Maybe.

Not too bad, but they are indeed homers. He does talk funny though. Man, if we had a power play that wasn't last in the nation, maybe we would be winning more games.

If you ever have to skip a home game, your apprentice Ronan could probably fill in... You've done a great job with that kid!! :)

Ronan does a great job and I really enjoy having him there. Work doesn't interfere with home games though, even during the Guard weekends.

Sorry, I didn't see this until the game was over. But, no ... I don't know if they do or not.
