Now that the nail is in the Aces coffin , with one hand on our noses---all hockey fans need to get on board and support UAA hockey . Sure--the team has a poor work ethic , sure they're coach is lousy and needs to be fired , sure their fans are mostly nerds that run behind a curtain for free popcorn between periods , and sure there's harder hits in the parking lot and in the stands than the ice---but we have no choice.  We either support UAA hockey or it's done leaving us with no live hockey to watch on weekends.  It's do or die time for hockey in Anchorage . Let's all support UAA hockey this season and if they don't turn it around next season , then we can show them the door as well.
