UAA: Exciting Things Ahead!

Re: UAA: Exciting Things Ahead!

I really like the schedule. ALL NC games at the beginning of the season, and we play every weekend in the 2nd half except Jan 23-24. With 6 of the last 8 at home.

End of Season Hockey Banquet

If you have never heard Matt Thomas speak you are in for a real treat.
Upbeat, humorous and the real inside story.
He has put a new twist into everything he's done since his arrival last year and I don't expect the banquet to be "the same old thing".
Coach Thomas is sure to put on an excellent show.
April 13 Palm Sunday
Marriott Downtown.....doors open at 6PM (assume that's the "cocktail hour")
Program at 6:30PM
It will be very interesting to see who gets what award. Who gets "Most Improved" etc.

The link will get you to the site for ticket purchase.

We should have a real good turnout to put the cap on a season that exceeded most folks expectations.
Hope to see you there.

I like the last 6 of 8 games being played at the Sully. I tried to look up the UA_ schedule, but they only have the two Alaska tournaments listed. And I really find it ironic that their hockey page has a background of Mt. McKinley on it. They are Alaska wanna-be's! Like you can see ANY mountains when you are in _airbanks. :)

I know this isn't usually a trendy pick, but I would select Gunderson for that award. Gundy increased his save pct. from .873 to .900, and lowered his GAA by more than 1.3 goals.

I would say Andrew Pettit and Kamal would be close 2nds and 3rds.

I'm liking the numbers you're digging up!
Got any others?

Gundy faced 520 shots in 12-13, and 499 shots in 13-14. However, he played nearly 150 more minutes in 13-14 than in 12-13. This would lead me to believe that our defense blocked a LOT of shots. Not taking anything away from Gundy, because he faced almost the same amount of shots. But obviously less shots were getting to the net this season.

Hey You can see a lot of "mountains" in _airbanks just drive down any back street and there are "mountains everywhere" ……… yards heaped high with treasures, some with tunnels. Those are the "true _airbanks mountains"

That is a very nice trend which I'd like to see continued.
Did you happen to work up Kamal's numbers to see if that is also the trend with him?

No I didn't. Kamal did improve, but played a lot more last season than this season. His case is less compelling.

Getting a little pathetic when Squarebanks has to keep track of our goings on for us.
Sincere thank you Squarebanks!
