We have the most talented team in the wcha and the smartest.
Clarkie, lunden and crowder fill the net. Denver will not be happy after the weekend.

Can monitor the Spanking in Denver Live on GCI channel 1 all three games if the Seawolves let them last that long……… make “Ruckus” cry…………
It's good to hear that gci received the rights to air the games this weekend. I'd much rather wath the game on the big screen instead of my computer
That's awesome news. Thanks GCI.
This is really exciting and a HUGE turnaround for UAA academically. It is amazing for the whole WCHA. Except Wisconsin, evidently.
Congratulations! Another reason to be so proud of this team....can that be possible? The team keeps amazing me.
But honestly, playing a D1 sport in college is a huge commitment by itself and to have 14 UAA players to earn All Academic honors is simply astounding. This is a reflection on what this team is made of! Good going, Seawolves. You're the best!!
This chat room forum is a joke, the fans would like to read comments about the game and the series.
Clarkie is still on fire, bryce in net tonite, and take denver 4 goals to 2. To bad they never played clarkie all year with crowder and grant.
Not sure how und missed clarkie living winnipeg, just north of gand forks.
All the best tonite guys, win one tonite and anything is possible, two years ago in minni we won game two.

Let's put alaska on the hocky map, pull out all the stops, play the guys who are producing, go with the hot goaltender. A trip to the wcha final is a once in a lifetime experience.
