Welcome<br />

On behalf of the Alaska School Activities Association (ASAA) Board of Directors<br />

and ASAA’s corporate partners, welcome to the 2017 ASAA/<strong>First</strong> <strong>National</strong><br />

Bank Alaska 4A Hockey State Championships! To the student-athletes, we<br />

applaud your dedication to doing your best for yourself and for your school.<br />

To the coaches, counselors and parents, thank you for continuing to support<br />

interscholastic sports and activities. And to the spectators, we appreciate your<br />

being part of this statewide championship event.<br />

Alaska's passion for hockey has translated to a new level of celebration in<br />

high school hockey. In 2005, a traveling trophy was created by <strong>First</strong><br />

<strong>National</strong> Bank Alaska. Move over Stanley <strong>Cup</strong> - now there's <strong>First</strong><br />

<strong>National</strong> <strong>Cup</strong>! Title winners in each classification take home<br />

a huge traveling trophy to showcase their victory at<br />

State. Donated by <strong>First</strong> <strong>National</strong> Bank Alaska, the trophies<br />

reside at the schools of the 4A and Greatland tournament<br />

champions for one year, before they are passed on to the<br />

next year’s champions.<br />

To the student-athletes, we applaud your dedication to<br />

doing your best for yourself and your school. Coaches,<br />

administrators and parents, thank you<br />

for supporting interscholastic sports and activities.<br />

And spectators, we appreciate your being part of<br />

these statewide championship events.<br />

Billy Strickland, Executive Director<br />

Alaska School Activities Association<br />

Sportsmanship<br />

Creed<br />

“This contest<br />

is being played<br />

under the authority<br />

of the Alaska<br />

School Activities<br />

Association. ASAA<br />

rules provide<br />

for fair play and<br />

good sportsmanship<br />

among athletes<br />

and coaches.<br />

Since booing and<br />

jeering do not<br />

support anyone,<br />

we expect fans<br />

to be positive in<br />

supporting their<br />

favorite team with<br />

encouraging comments<br />

and cheers.<br />

Please refrain from<br />

words or actions<br />

that would reflect<br />

negatively on your<br />

school and team.<br />

In other words, BE<br />

A FAN----NOT A<br />

FANATIC.”<br />

History of Hockey in Alaska<br />

Anchorage High School hockey coached by Art Allen<br />

played its first game in January 1958. Anchorage<br />

High School competed against an Alumni<br />

team with 3 games played the first year, all against<br />

the Alumni team. The following season (1958-59)<br />

high school hockey was recognized as a varsity<br />

sport. Competition consisted of men teams from<br />

Fort Richardson, Army <strong>National</strong> Guard and a City<br />

team (Hohn Plumbers). All games were played on<br />

outside rinks. Teams shoveled their own rinks, with<br />

numerous cases of frostbite recorded. In the 1959-<br />

60 season, the Prep team played the same competition<br />

except at the end of the season when Anchorage<br />

High School defeated Fairbanks High School<br />

twice providing the State with its first high school<br />

competition. In 1961 Anchorage High School was<br />

split forming West and East High School. The Intermediate<br />

League now was composed of two high<br />

schools and two local men teams.<br />

On February 13, 1965 Anchorage watched its first<br />

indoor hockey game at the Anchorage Sports Arena<br />

with East defeating West 3-2. In 1965 the league<br />

was renamed the Cook Inlet Hockey League. 1966<br />

saw the addition of Dimond High School to the<br />

conference coached by Tom Pfingst. The 1967<br />

season witnessed Chugiak High School entering<br />

the league under the direction of Steve Moen. This<br />

marked the first season that the league consisted of<br />

all prep teams.<br />

The 1969-70 season introduced the first year of season<br />

ending playoffs with West defeating Conference<br />

Champion Dimond. The 1970 season brought<br />

more league change with Chugiak dropping out<br />

and the addition of a team of college students. In<br />

1971 Service High School coached by Dick Thompson<br />

entered the league. Chugiak re-entered the<br />

league in 1972 again making the conference an all<br />

high school affair. In 1973 the Bartlett Golden Bears<br />

began league play bringing the conference to its<br />

current number of six teams. 1977 the Conference<br />

name changed to its present name of the Anchorage<br />

High School Hockey Association.<br />

In 1983, the first sanctioned ASAA state tournament<br />

was held as there were now three regions with<br />

hockey teams. Region 3 was the most recent addition<br />

with teams at Kenai, Soldotna, Palmer, and<br />

Wasilla High Schools. Region 4 (Anchorage) had<br />

teams at West, East, Chugiak, Dimond, Service, and<br />

Bartlett. Region 6 (Fairbanks) had teams at Lathrop,<br />

West Vallley, and North Pole. In 1990, Skyview was<br />

added to Region 3 and Colony was added in 1992<br />

to make a total of fifteen 4A schools with hockey<br />

programs.<br />

In 1996, ASAA voted to classify the hockey state<br />

championships to allow an increasing number of<br />

smaller high schools an opportunity to be featured<br />

at the state tournament. The Greatland Hockey<br />

Tournament at this time had eight members and<br />

the two with the best season records were invited to<br />

compete for a one game state championship game<br />

to be played in conjuction with the existing state<br />

hockey tournament. That first year, Delta Junction<br />

was the champion of a four team tourney that was<br />

attached to the large schools tournament.<br />

In 2000, the first ever state tournament for small<br />

schools (under 400 enrollment) was established.<br />

The Greatland Hockey Conference was established<br />

five years earlier to give smaller 1A, 2A, and<br />

3A schools a shot at a statewide title. The previous<br />

three years, the final championship game was<br />

played as part of the 4A State Tournament. Beginning<br />

with 2000, a full separate tournament for all<br />

small schools was held in a separate location. Two<br />

new Anchorage schools---South Anchorage and<br />

Eagle River---were added to the Cook Inlet Conference<br />

in the fall of 2004 and 2005.<br />

And in 2005, both state tournaments were held at<br />

the same site---the Big Dipper Sports Arena in Fairbanks.and<br />

it was renamed the “Frozen Pond’ State<br />

Tournament. Presently the 4A schools classification<br />

sends eight teams to state from three conferences:<br />

Cook Inlet (4), Northern Lights (2), Mid Alaska<br />

(2). The Greatland Conference sends its top four<br />

teams to state. The present site for this combined<br />

state tournament is the Wasilla Sports Complex that<br />

was opened in 2005.<br />
