I think our team is going to have a better season than the media suggests. Our freshman class is very solid, if we can just get some solid goal tending I believe we have a chance of making a deep run in the CCHA*.

Oh wow, that's really cool. I've always liked the Alaska teams. And they've played spoiler in a few of the WCHA tournaments in the past few years.

I'm fairly worried about Miami's goaltending coming into this season, but they've really recruited well in net over the last few years (Zatkoff, Knapp, Reichard, Effinger) so I'm not sure how it's gonna go. Austin Czarnik scored two goals in Miami's opener prep-game. He's he guy that's gonna make Miami's offense go now that Miele, Smith and Biggs* are gone.

lol Notre Dame tied the U-18 team

Yeah I got really lucky. I needed an internship to finish my Sport Management degree. Just emailed their Director of Hockey Ops guy who was working as a Grad Assistantwho let me know he was leaving and got me in contact with Dallas Ferguson.. So basically I am employed as a Director of Hockey Operations but being compensated by them claiming it as an internship, since the program does not have the funding to compensate. Works for both parties. The cold in Fairbanks, however.

That's an awesome opportunity. And I assume you get to enjoy a lot of college hockey, which is the best bonus. Hows your team look this year?

Well, as I said earlier. I don't know really anything about the other teams. But by the looks of our guys, I think we should do pretty well. We have a great group of returning seniors, all who are very focused. Our freshman class is highlighted by Colton Parayko, who was drafted in the third round by the Blues. 6'5" Defense men. From what I have gathered, UAF has been lacking offensive production from the points. This kid should fill that role very nicely. Also, if he can put some weight on while he is here, he wont stay long. Very talented.

The big question mark is goal tending. We have a returning senior, who hasn't played any of the 3 years he has been here, a sophomore and a freshman. They all look pretty solid. I think whoever can step up in this first tournament in Anchorage and stands out in practice will get the nod. I hope it's Steve Thompson (senior), he has busted his rear end all off-season preparing for the season and I like to see seniors get their opportunity. But with that being said, all three goaltenders have worked very hard and the race is pretty close, at least from what I am being told.

I hope we have a good season, I would love to be here for something special.

Because he was supposed to team with Czarnik to help bridge the gap to the next class now that Smith and Miele are both gone but he Okposo'd us to go play for a team that isn't even suiting up because of a lockout.

Ugh, we went up 2-0 on Union within 3 minutes, place was going crazy. Union gets 3 back on the power play through the 2nd.

In the 3rd we proceed to give up 2 absolutely moronic goals while on one powerplay to put it well out of reach.

In fairness, Union is very drat good, and losing 3-5 isn't too bad to them, and I suppose I should be happy that now we're showing some consistency instead of just getting murdered.

Held Notre Dame to one goal and scoreless through 2, so that's something, I guess.

Miami wins home opener over Colgate 3-0 led by freshman goalie and USHL superstar Ryan McKay. He gets a 24 save shutout to go with two goals by fellow freshman Blake Coleman, Devils 2001 3rd round pick who will not be a donk like Tyler Biggs and shanghai us when we need goalscorers.

I really like this Mullin-Czarnik-Barber line and I really think this Coleman kid could end up replacing Morris on the 2nd line between Mason and Gacek, although, I really think that the Wideman-Kuraly-Hagel 3rd line will probably pack more of a scoring punch over the course of the season regardless.

Any Princeton fans in here? Know anything about Hagel? He looks like he projects to maybe be a fringe 2nd liner

Western and Ferris lost to St. Lawrence and RPI, respectively, and tOSU is losing 6-2 to UMD

Penn State lose it's opener to American Intl. 3-2 in OT, that sucks

Michigan loving lost to RIT 5-4 in OT to open the season but just walloped them 7-2

At one point Berks only had 4 skaters (despite it being 5-on-5) on the ice for like, a minute, and the stands had to yell at the coach to count to five.

Despite the loss, it was a fun-ish game. I got myself a puck during warm-ups, which owned. woooo

Any Minnesota fans? I'm curious what you think of Brady Skjei. Looks like he got his first two college points last night, going 1+1 and getting some PP time, etc.

He was a late round pick but is a big guy who skates very very well, it just seemed like he didn't have any other ability that stood out. Wasn't a big point producer, not a super physical guy, etc. Seems like he might have some offense in him though and maybe the potential to be a good all around type of defensemen, so I wondered if anyone had any first impressions.

So Alaska left Anchorage with a pretty less than stellar performance. We beat Air Force (Tied, won in Shootout for tie breaking purposes in the tournament) which was pretty big win but then the next night came out completely flat and lost 1-3 to Canisius. There is a lot of work to be done before Friday when North Dakota and Merrimack come up to Faribanks for this weekends tournament.. Also, North Dakota's Hockey Operations guy is trying to big league me into swapping video with him..

No North Dakota our game vs Air Force is not worth video of ND vs U.S. Under-18 Team.. and I do not care how many National championships you have!

I really hope it's Cady, because he's the only candidate who I'm sure will stay committed to the hockey program, especially considering that it's more or less a "break even" sport. I'm living in fear of Miami hiring someone to come "fix football and basketball" and mostly leave hockey to it's own devices. Even though all the fixing in the world won't give football/basketball even remotely close to the success the hockey team had/has/will have.

Cady becoming AD won't bring about temptations for Rico to leave

Here's some things:

quote:

WCHA referee Pete Friesema was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct early Sunday after he allegedly talked about a bomb at a ticket counter at Anchorage International Airport, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

Friesema, 44, pleaded not guilty at a hearing later Sunday, the newspaper reported. He was ordered to stay in Alaska; he is from Colorado and told the judge that he could lose his career if not allowed to return home, the newspaper reported.

The WCHA announced Monday afternoon that it had suspended Friesema indefinitely pending a review of the incident, and that it would have no further comment until the investigation has been completed.

The incident prompted a temporary shutdown of the airport.

Friesema worked two games at the Kendall Hockey Classic in Anchorage over the weekend, including a Canisus-Alaska game that started at 4:05 p.m. local time on Saturday.

According to police documents obtained by the Anchorage Daily News, Friesema and a traveling companion were checking in for an Alaska Airlines flight late Saturday night when Friesema pointed out to the ticket agent that he put the sticker for his luggage on his friend�s bag.

The agent reportedly told Friesema that it didn't matter because they were both going to the same destination.

The agent told authorities that Friesema said, �But my friend�s bag has a bomb in it.� Friesema told officers his reply was, �What if my friend�s bag has a bomb in it?�

�He did something that in this day and age a teenager would know better than to do,� John Parrott, the Anchorage airport manager, told the newspaper.

Friesema�s next court hearing is scheduled for Nov. 26, according to the newspaper, which added that the FBI and state officials are evaluating the incident for possible additional charges.

http://www.uscho.com/2012/10/15/rep...y-2015-or-2016/

quote:

Nebraska-Omaha officials have proposed to build a 7,500-seat arena at the south end of UNO�s campus that would be the Mavericks� new home for hockey, basketball and volleyball, according to a report in the Omaha World-Herald.

The report states that private donations or partnerships would pay for arena construction costs, which could range anywhere from $65 million to $80 million.

Planning and fundraising for the proposal are far enough along that UNO chancellor John Christensen and athletic director Trev Alberts plan to present the project to the University of Nebraska Board of Regents on Oct. 26.

The arena would house two ice sheets and could potentially open in 2015 or 2016 if the regents approve the project.

�In a perfect world, we�d like to see it in three or four years, if things fall into place,� Christensen said in the report.

An on-campus hockey arena has long been discussed amongst UNO officials, but now, it appears talk may turn to progress.
