Falling on fans at NHC since 2001
I wont pretend to know about UAA hockey. I will say from reading Doyle Woody's article, I think the public opinion will get Shyiak out of there. As an SCSU fan, I don't get the hate from some of the UAA and MTU and NMU fans. When I thought SCSU was going to be in the nWCHA, I viewed it as an opportunity to make the tourney every year. I don't understand why the UAA, MTU, and other perennial lower-half teams don't view this as a better chance to have sustained success.Congrats to SCS for the comprehensive sweep of the Woofies and the MacNaughton Cup. This long time Seawolf fan will be cheering you on next week in the FF. Would love to see you guys win the Broadmoor Trophy, too, and make a good run in the NCAAs. A fresh alternative...
Most fan bases have their share of jerks, for sure. True fans know that these random jerks are only that and don’t represent the majority of the fan base. It would be great if all the discussion on these threads would be constructive and non-insulting. Unfortunately, it seems that the share of jerkiness allotted to our fan base was not evenly distributed…
After 25+ years of holding season tickets and attending dang near every UAA home game, I am done. I can no longer support this program until BOTH the coach and AD are replaced. As a UAA graduate degree alumnus, I have provided modest financial support to the school for many years. That, too, is ended until things change. Spending millions on a new, on-campus arena without ice is asinine. The administration will receive a letter with my (not) season ticket renewal stating the reasons. Things need to change dramatically. It is painful to see what this once-proud and competitive hockey program has become under the current athletic administration.
Anyway, I hope to see UAA in the NCAA tourney in the next 4 years. Their fans sure as hell deserve it.
