Join the fun at the Alaska Nanooks Hockey Fan Fest
September 10, 2014
The 2014 Alaska Nanooks Hockey Fan Fest will celebrate the start of the season from
noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 13, 2014, at the Patty Center. The event is free.
"Fan Fest is a fun, interactive event for all ages of Nanooks fans to come help Alaska
hockey kick off the season," Head Coach Dallas Ferguson said. "Alaska hockey has some of the greatest fans in college hockey, and Fan Fest
is a great way to connect our fans with the student athletes. We are looking forward
to a great event on Sept. 13!"
Fans will meet the players, coaches and staff while enjoying games and activities
in the Patty Center gymnasium. There will also be a "Skate with the Nanooks" session
at the Patty ice arena where 24 fans will be selected to test their puck shooting
skills against an Alaska Nanooks goaltender.
