Shyiak no longer Head Coach

Earlier today it was announced by Steve Cobb that Dave Shyiak will not be returning as Head Coach of the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves. The search now begins for a new Head Coach. Unfortunately for more reasons then Dave himself, he was not successful here. But thank you for you all that you have done, and good luck in your future endeavors.

Game Day 3/08/2013

I had some hope that we could maybe at least force another shootout for the Governor's Cup, but that did not happen. It was almost my last hope for this season, I mean we still have the playoffs to do some damage. But it appears we are going to St. Cloud, and we all know what kind of house of horrors that place is. This Senior Group I really liked and I hope that they end their college careers with a good bang. But I just don't know if that will happen. It has been a long, tumultuous season that in all honesty I want to end. We Seawolf fans have suffered for many, many seasons. And this season has taken the most toll on me personally, yes even more than the 1-28-7 season under John Hill I believe we had. That season I was like in 4th grade, back then I was still worrying about how to finish my Spyro video games. I don't really know what I'm getting at, maybe I just happy this season is finally winding down. Remember we play tonight (5:37) and then now Sunday at 9:07 am AKST. Brett Cameron, Jordan Kwas, and Austin Coldwell all unfortunately will probably not play this weekend.

Game Day 3/01/2013 (Updated)

This weekend we square off against our rival. See what I did there? I know I'm a comedic genius, but here are some of my thoughts:

• Let the boys roam free, our team is very good at playing up and down hockey
• Stay out of the box, let's face it our special teams suck
• Score early to shut up those damn _airbankings, _airbankities, or whatever the hell they are
• No more freaking OT, I'd rather see a team win then us get another tie
• Jordan Kwas and Austin Coldwell will both be out for this weekend, time for some other guys to step up
• No current Seawolf has raised the Governor's Cup, time to change that
• These are rivalry games, anything can happen at anytime
• I hope our boys spent some time practicing their shootout moves, which I still don't fucking get: Why does UA_ have the advantage if the series gets tied 1-1?

Now enjoy some pictures along with the music:

Well shit

The title says it all. We entered the weekend with the slim chance of finishing in 11th, but that is now gone. Our seniors last full home weekend is gone, this final season in the real WCHA is nearing gone. On the seniors note, I hope the parents had a good weekend, it's too bad we couldn't get a split with them here. Major kudos to UNO, we were in it for a majority of the weekend but UNO was unrelenting. As they should be, they still have a shot at first place and I applaud them for not taking us too lightly. Looking ahead, we play UA_ in two weeks (Squarebanks for Friday and The Sully for Saturday night) and then Denver the following week in a Friday night, Sunday afternoon schedule (Times are 5:37 pm AKST and 10:07 am AKST).

Game Day 2/16/2013

Damn it in a beautiful day, the clouds have now rolled in but damn I was too tired to get out and enjoy the sunshine. Anyways, looking at the standings we are all but guaranteed last place unless we win out and Bemidji losses out. Even for an optimist like me, it's over. Might as well enjoy ourselves right?

This Week in the WCHA

Things to look out for

• Junior Jordan Kwas has five Power Play goals, nobody else has more than one this season
• He also needs only one more goal for ten on the season
• Sophomore Kory Roy has yet to register his first collegiate goal, 0-9-9 in 48 GP
• Needs to see action tonight to appear in 50 career GP

Game Day 2/15/2013

I hope everyone had a fantastic Valentine's Day, but you know what time of the week it is. We finally got a split! It had been like forever since we last did that (Nov. 30th & Dec. 1st vs. St. Cloud State). Tonight is Parent's Night, there are 1,000 bag tags (whatever those are) for the early comers, and the Family Four Pack is again available this weekend.

Family is still the Promo Code

Also, this is the last full home weekend for the departing seniors:

Chris Crowell (Captain)
Tyler Currier (Instigator...in a good way)
Alex Gellert (Stud)
Daniel Naslund (Swede...everybody loves the Swedish...well their women at least)
Scott Warner (STUD D-Man and Assistant Captain)

When these guys leave, they will leave some holes in our depth chart and locker room. Let's give them a proper send off, well you guys can, I have to go help out a friend tonight.

Game Day 2/8/2013 (Updated)

Yeah I know, I'm still figuring out my schedule but let's dive right in shall we. Overall it was a great weekend, we got two points via a tie and a tie, I would have much preferred a win and a loss but oh well. Kurt will not be available to make the Michigan trip, and we on the radio side will be listening to Michigan Tech's Dirk Hembroff. I believe David Tuttle is away on assignment, I forgot where. And I don't think Tuttle has ever been on the road with Kurt for any on-air broadcasts. I hope Kurt heals up, but if that means we miss him for another few weeks so be it, I'd rather him be healthy as opposed to coming back to soon for just a broadcast. Here is a piece by goseawolves.com.

We play Michigan Tech this weekend and I'm hoping for the best, potentially if Wisconsin sweeps Bemidji and we sweep MT we could have 12 points (same as Bemidji) but we would be behind them because of the head-to-head match up (1-0-1 in favor of Bemidji). I like when we can open up our style and just go down and up the ice, our boys have now shown we can hang with opponents when it's five-on-five. We have to stay out of the box, and have some fun. Don't take stupid penalties, yeah you can stick up for your teammates but don't do it in a way to get a penalty. We need points, wins, not more penalty minutes. Game times are 3:07 pm AKST and then 1:07 pm AKST.

This was a great fight by the way, my friend was at Buffalo Wild Wings and said the place went crazy as Overreem was heavily favored and hyped up

• Sophomore Derek Docken has totals of 1-2-3 in 4 games against MT
• Sophomore Andrew Pettitt has amassed 0-2-2 in 2 games vs. MT
• Junior Jordan Kwas has four Power Play goals, nobody else has more than one this season
