I am not sure why you think that UAF makes sense. UNO is driving distance for C.C., UND, DU, Minnesota, Mankato, SCSU and UMD?
UAF means another flight to Alaska for 10 teams in the WCHA. UNO is the team and the only way that UAF gets in; is the UNO deal falls
through. I think you will see an announcement very soon that UNO is going to be in the WCHA.
