I think the biggest problem with UAF is the attitude of the team. This where the coach comes in. There are not enough words to say how sick and tired I am of the Michigans, Notre Dame etc. coming into to the Carlson and laying the smack down on the Nooks. Will beats skill anyday. They need a coach who will teach and preach about getting into the other teams face. People outside of Alaska do not respect the program or the state as a whole, and it is all about attitude. I thought Tavis was a horrible coach, obviously Doc couldn't hang in Fairbanks, they need a coach that will preach attitude and toughness. On another note, I wish the "U" would build an on campus arena. The Carlson is awesome when it is packed and loud, but to be truthful the place is a dump. Since I have been here, ( 6yrs roughly) with the exception of the scoreboard, there has been no improvements on the place. It is hard to sell a program to a young player when the Carlson is where you play your home games. The athletic department needs to put a little bit of time and money into the facilities. I see better days ahead, but not for awhile.

Doc seems like a pretty good recruiter, I do not know why the U would want him to leave. I would like to think with all of the incoming talent over the next few seasons the Nooks would have a pretty descent chance in the CCHA, in the very near future. Being in Montana I did not get a chance to see the Nooks play this past season, but from looking at box scores, maybe they need to change their style of play and do more of what Gadowsky did and play the run and gun style. They finally have a good Non-Conference schedule lined up for 08-09, and it would be a shame to go through that with yet another new head coach.

Patrick would be a better fit, he won a national Championship with Bucky the Badger and hopefully he could build a winning atmosphere.
On Ferguson, Patrick named Nanooks’ hockey finalists
