Donald, I am a Gopher fan and was watching a video of the game Friday night. I was shocked to see so many empty seats. Is that unusual? Thank you, Charlie
Charlie, Average attendance these days seems to be between 3500 and 4000. Anchorage is a bandwagon town and support their ECHL Champion Alaska Aces instead of UAA. I used to think it was a hockey town ... if you talk to an Aces fan they actually believe that ECHL hockey is better than WCHA hockey.
ECHL hockey is for old people that like their hockey slowed down so they can keep up with it. You cannot deny they are champions and ANC is pulled into that like moths to a flame. UAA has to step their intensity WAY up to garner some fans. How many goals have we scored in league play this year? Yeah that's what I thought. People aren't going to pay to see us get shut out or score 1 goal a night. Bottom line. Either score/win or let the bodies fly for something exciting.
The boys need to stick together and figure out together how to win in the WCHA. However if we don't get points this weekend, it'll be really hard to get into the NCAA tourney unless we win the Final Five. Yet another huge weekend...

Hey Donald are you going to blog anymore? I check you blog everyday and there is nothing new posted here.
Hoping you are okay Donald!
