Does this look kinda familiar? Well unfortunately for
you, it is not Donald blogging in disguise. It is plain, old (I'm not
really old though, only 20) A Seawolves Fanatic a.k.a [AKSWF] blogging here. D
paved the way; set the tone of what you the reader wanted. A fair, somewhat
unbiased take on Seawolves Hockey, the ADN and that numskull Doyle Woody just
don't cut it. That's why I totally jumped on D's site when I first found it.
There was a community, sure there occasionally was the crazy aunt or
uncle that showed up and made things uncomfortable. But we
persevered, knowing we wanted the same thing. A winning program that we all could
take true pride in, well for whatever reason D and Jimjamesak have left, and I
don’t think they’re coming back. Sure they have posted on USCHO, but that's not
the same. Sure D will occasionally pop in for the chats that Alaskana have so
kindly put up for us, but that's not enough. Whether you liked D or not, he's
done a lot for the UAA Hockey Program and us, I hope he is happy out in the
Chicago area.
It is my hope that
I can post twice a week once the season starts up again (I'd likely provide a
preview and post weekend wrap-ups). I know Suze and Alaskana have expressed
interest in posting for Seawolf Hockey, I will gladly accept your help and your
take on our program. If not, anybody else is welcome to join if their willing.
As for the layout, I will be changing things around, seeing what works and what
doesn't. And, sorry Suze and whoever has expressed interest in having a picture
upload feature. Blogger does not want any part of that for whatever reason; I
could look into having an image hosting site. But for now, you could email me
your pictures and I could upload them for you. There is another blog being set
up, and can be found by clicking here and here. As far as I'm concerned, I
like that you the reader has options. I'll let you decide who you want to read
from, and be a part of. I won't try to sway you either way. As much fun as it
could be reliving the Monday Night Wars via Seawolf Hockey, I won't take the
first swing. It's all about the defense baby.
I hope this site
can create the same kind of community we had over with D, but this can only
come with time. So sit back, let your hair down, and let go. Much like my
favorite band RED (shameless plug), it’s time to soldier on and get ready for
the future. The new WCHA is upon us, Athletic Director Steve Cobb has said a
new hockey arena is in the works (take that with a massive intake of salt), D's
blog is done. Just, let go. That is the first step to moving on, no?
