Since we have joined the Wcha, UAA has provided a vital function to the league, as every night, now with shootouts, one team has to win and one has to lose.  We have stepped up admirably to be the losing team.  I had Season tickets for 20 years, the first 10 or so as independents, then after joining the league. 

As independents, we approached every game as a win.   The games were the place to be on the weekend.  We swept BC, We pulled games out.  We always had a chance.  I watched that got to losses on Friday, followed by the realization that we could win Saturday, and the occasional win that night..
 
What I suggest is that we go to Div II/III or the american hockey league.  We won't lose any more money paying for the travel of UAA, uaf (which I refuse to call Alaska).   If we start to win, then we can afford to bring teams up.  Or another option is we play uaf 16 him and away like we used to when I flew the teams back and forth.

If UAA wins, at any level, fans come back. Make it So
