Yeah, those. If the legislature has its way, no Alaskan will be getting much of a PFD check this fall.

I almost stayed in Anchorage a year longer when there were discussions of a last check of $15,000 in 2000.

Maybe one of the last games with the _airbanks villager's ...first time ever in long time those wiffy things will not in large herds as their tickets will be so limited it will be just a smallest reeking area of malodorous villagers in anchorage hockey stands and the city in a long time...
You ain't getting mine so you better pay big and buy early or you aint gettin in. your best bet for UAA ... see them on the road

Re: UAA New Season New Digs
That's what I anticipated, my plan is to call the ticket office once the calendar turns to fall and see what I can do. The UAA website says single game tickets for 2018-19 went on sale a week prior to the first home game, so I'm going to operate under that assumption and call early the week ahead of the games. Unfortunately for me, neither UAA or UAF travel much to the northeast, or have in recent years at least. So with time possibly running out, coupled with it being an away weekend for Northeastern, that weekend is the best bet for me. We'll see how it plays out, I'm very excited to go if I can get a ticket!

What WHL rumors? Unless there’s a new privately funded arena and a billionaire benefactor attached to it, no way the WHL ever moves to Anchorage.
It’s a shame. I don’t think people understand how outstanding and unique the hockey culture is in Anchorage. I only skated one year after leaving Anchorage because ice time for adult hockey is typically 10-11 PM on Sunday nights in the Lower 48. Anchorage has arenas dedicated to rec hockey with prime time scheduling. I played on two teams and probably would still be playing if I lived up there. The diversity of players was awesome too- guys from all over the US, Canada, and Russia.
In my opinion, the Sullivan is quality college hockey venue. I remember the early season tournament that brought in big time programs just like the basketball tournament.
All said, I don’t blame the WCHA for pulling the plug. There’s usually a light at the end of the tunnel for most states during tough times, but it’ll always be a struggle in Alaska. That state still operates like it’s the 1980’s. My wife and I left when it was time to have kids because it was obvious that it’s not in Alaska’s DNA to support schools and infrastructure that isn’t gifted from Uncle Don.

I would like to see the UAF games played at Sullivan but who knows, maybe that's still a money losing proposition.

Already insane, UAA making it worse
Re: UAA New Season New Digs
I thought it was BS then and now.
The person running the Sullivan mentioned "interest" in an article about the move on campus.

Re: UAA New Season New Digs
Saddest part in all of this is I've lost all my ill feelings towards UAF. Now I just want games against them to be a never ending F U to the rest of the league. "Oh you don't know the playoff match ups until we finish? We'll try to be done by May..."

I’d be A-ok playing our non-conference schedule this season then 24 games against UAA and UAH. Heck, fill out the schedule with some games against the PAC 12 club schools. UAF/UAA playing Oregon or UCLA would be a heck of a better fan draw than a yooper directional school.

Re: UAA New Season New Digs
NCAA minimum is 10. UAF would need to add something back to meet the NCAA minimum. UAA could end hockey and still be above the minimum (I think they’re at 13 now).
If the seemingly unthinkable happens, I could see a scenario where one or both of us join the PAC-8 hockey league, which is not just limited to PAC-12 schools (Boise State, San Diego State, and both Washington directional compass schools are in it)
The above was copied from Squarebanks on the Dead site.
UAA Ladies Gymnastics is D1. Had to do that for title 9 to match hockey.
I'm guessing but is that a one way deal? If the guys get it the ladies get it. But does it work in reverse?

I wonder if there is a loophole where teams that are kicked out can schedule how they see fit, like how when teams that enter leagues they generally have a year or two get up to speed but don't follow the set # of conference games.
Join hockey east. Not hard to get here over top pole. Just a thought.
If Alaska Airlines had a better east coast network, mayybee.
Interesting. Your state is considered the best purchase our country has ever made for obvious reasons. I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t take to much thoughts to figure out how to fly over the pole. You do realize they bought it for military purposes and hit gold. Not lost on any self respecting American citizen.
I mean never mind if you don’t get it or are too young to understand. My apologies to the young. I know not what I speak of.

Well, if you flew over the pole from AK you’d land somewhere in Europe.
