I don't think it is that UAA doesn't want to help UAF, it is the fact that we
would like to play other teams. With the WCHA scheduled as it is, we only have
2 games to play with. Although I like the rivalry between UAA and UAF, I would
also like to see other teams such as Michigan, Lake Sup., and Maine.
Reincarnating the Nissan Jeep Classic could help both causes, UAF and UAA
could play in it and there could be two other new teams.
 
I also support UAF in the WCHA. I like the proposal that went around a couple
of weeks ago that splits the league into 3 smaller divisions according to
location.
