Skate with the Nanooks has become so popular here that the team has increased the frequency of the event to three times per season. This season, UAF even hosted a New Year's Eve party following the Colorado College game. The festivities featured hourly airplane ticket giveaways to a city in each time zone beginning with New York and including Chicago, Denver, San Francisco and finally Honolulu. On ice games as well as movies for the kids and refreshments continued until nearly 1:00AM. No word yet on season attendance figures (2 games remaining against Mankato State this weekend) but this year will likely prove to be the best yet. It's nice to see the fan appreciation work in both directions. I suspect that other programs will continue to see the value of these promotions. They don't cost much but they make a huge impact on the faithful followers. Mark Sonnier UAF '90, '96
