On December 11th, 2020, the University of Alaska Fairbanks Division 1 Hockey Team were blinded with the news that their administration has decided to opt out of the current season. The cancellation came with no notice and no consideration of the staff or players. We've continuously followed rules and guidelines at the rink and around the community to do our part so we can have a season, the work the team has put in thus far seems as if it is unnoticed by administration. This decision goes beyond just hockey, it impacts our mental health. We sacrifice and work our whole lives to play the game we love and taking it away affects not only our season but also our personal well being.

We ask for your support and signature on this petition to show the University of Alaska Fairbanks Administration and staff how much this season means to the players, staff and community.
