Alaska Nanooks men's ice hockey
Encyclopedia
The Alaska Nanooks men's ice hockey team is a National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) Division I college ice hockey
program that represents the University of Alaska Fairbanks
. The Nanooks are a member of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association
(CCHA). They play at the Carlson Center
in Fairbanks, Alaska
.
. Alfred Bastress joined the Nanooks in 1937 and became the program's first head coach. Bastress led the Nanooks for four seasons. The team played the 1939-40 season again with no coach and Joe Gerlach coached the team during the 1941-42 season, splitting both games the team played that season. The program suspended during World War II
and returned for the 1949-50 season.
The team went through six coaches through the 1950s before Bill Daltri took over behind the bench in 1960. Daltri led the Nanooks for three seasons, including some of the most successful seasons of the early history of the program. In 1960-61 Daltri's Nanooks finished with a record of 14-2-0 and in the 1961-62 season the team finished 10-1-1. In his final season as head coach Daltri's Nanooks won all 8 games of the 1962-63 season. The program would go through another period of coaching turnovers, going through 9 coaches in a ten year period from 1963-1973.
) and Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff, Arizona
) formed the Great West Hockey Conference.
The 1985-86 season marked the return of the Nanooks to NCAA Division I as well as the first season in the history of the program as a member of a conference. Shafer guided the Nanooks to a 17-7-1 overall record and finished the season second in the Great West to U.S. International with a GWHC record of 6-5-1.
Following the 1985-86 season, Northern Arizona dropped their varsity hockey program leaving the Great West with three teams. UAF finished the season with an identical record of the previous season 17-7-1 and finished third in the conference with a GWHC record of 7-9-0.
Don Lucia
took over as head coach of the program for the 1986-87 season and under Lucia the Nanooks finished first in the Great West with a conference record of 5-3-0 and won the 1987 Great West Hockey Conference Championship. The team also finished the season with an overall record of 21-10-2, just the third 20+ win season in program history.
U.S. International ended their hockey program in 1988 for similar reasons as Northern Arizona. Historically UAF and in-state rival Alaska-Anchorage have had difficulty scheduling opponents due to the large distances between schools and increased travel expenses. All four GWHC schools required opponents to fly in and fly out. To combat scheduling difficulties, especially with out of conference scheduling, NCAA gives the Alaska schools scheduling advantage, games in Alaska don't count against teams' NCAA game limit. This advantage was not given to NAU or USIU, both schools in the Lower 48.
Despite the failure of the USIU and NAU hockey programs and the Great West Hockey Conference both Alaska-Fairbanks and Alaska-Anchorage programs continued, returning to independent Division I members. Anchorage later joined the Western Collegiate Hockey Association
(WCHA) in 1994.
Don Lucia continued as head coach of the Nanooks and in the 1992-93 season. On January 12, 1992 after four and a half seasons as an independent team following the collapse of the GWHC Alaska-Fairbanks was accepted into the Central Collegiate Hockey Association
(CCHA) as an affiliate member for the 1993-94 season. In addition to the off-ice success, Lucia led the Nanooks to a program high 23 wins. Lucia left to become head coach of Colorado College
and later Minnesota
.
Dave Laurion replaced Lucia as head coach in 1993 and guided the Nanooks to a program best 24-13-1. and on May 12, 1994 Alaska Fairbanks was became a full member of the CCHA for the 1995-96 season Laurion was followed by three coaches over the next nine seasons, Guy Gadowsky for four seasons, Tavis MacMillan for three seasons, followed by a short one season stint from Doc DelCastillo.
Dallas Ferguson became the 25th head coach in program history in 2008 taking over from DeCastillo. Ferguson led the Nanooks to a historic season in his second behind the bench at UAF. The season marked the first-ever NCAA Tournament
berth in 2010. UAF received an at-large bid despite losing in the Quarterfinals of the 2010 CCHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament
to Northern Michigan
two games to none, losing 4-3 and 5-1. The at-large bid placed the #13 ranked Nanooks into the Northeast Regional in Worcester, Massachusetts
against #1 ranked Boston College in the first round of the tournament. The Eagles ended the Nanooks season in a close game that saw UAF come up short 1-3. Despite the loss one of the highlights of the game was the UAF defense shutting down the high scoring top line of Boston College with the help of freshman goaltender Scott Greenham making 29 saves.
In the summer of 2011, the Big Ten Conference
announced intentions to begin sponsoring men's ice hockey in 2013, followed by Miami (OH)
announcing the formation of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference
for 2013 with and five other schools breaking from the WCHA. The realignment continued on July 20, 2011, when Northern Michigan
was approved for membership in the WCHA beginning with the 2013-2014 season. On August 23, 2011 members of the WCHA and CCHA met in Chicago, Illinois in reaction to the 2011 college hockey realignment. The WCHA then sent invitations to the five remaining CCHA schools. The Nanooks quickly accepted their invitation to join the league for the 2013-14 season, followed by several other CCHA members.
