Day 280, 10/7/2011

The Fairbanks Ice Dogs’ home season opener was heaving to the gills with fans eager to see the game. The Tier II Junior A NAHL team are recent Robertson Cup champions.


Tonight they play the…Jackalopes???

Fif-ty fif-ty!

Fights break out ever so often at these games. 

There are purists who much prefer the town’s other outstanding team, the University of Alaska Fairbanks Nanooks, to the Dogs, but I have to admit I much prefer this brand of blue collar style excitement. It’s sort of like comparing an Olympic wrestling match to the UFC octagon.
