UAF Nanook Hockey Open Polar Bear Bent on Destruction

NCAA Hockey, Alaska Nanooks

I'll See Your Fairbanks-Ravaging Grizzly and Raise You a Solar System-Destroying Polar Bear

Just when you thought you had seen the worst poorly-animated, sports-promoting bears had to offer and it was safe to go back to Fairbanks, Alaska, I bring you this, the promo for the University of Alaska, Fairbanks Nanooks.

Yes, Injury Rate shared the incredible intensity of the Fairbanks Grizzlies mascot but he never realized that this video had an ancestor, a mighty satellite-smiting polar bear from outer space bent on destroying the solar system... and Anchorage, Alaska. Furthermore, while his bear may stand 100 feet tall and wield a pick-axe, it does not propel itself through outer space by shooting fire from its ass, wielding a hockey stick.

Clearly, the folks in Fairbanks are just biding their time with football and hockey until they can once again legally follow a sport with the levels of violence they require: bear baiting.

Goooooo UAF Nanooks! There is quite the rivalry between Fairbanks and Anchorage! May the Nanooks and Grizzleys prevail! The Nanooks get some pretty awesome players! You can check out #34 Willie Rogers in this U-tube video.. it's is a little difficult to hear, but shows a nice entrance thru our Polar bear and names off his achievements.
This was from 2007-2008 when he was named CCHA-Goaltender of the Week on Dec 10th after stopping all 32 shots for a shutout, and receiving #1 Star in the 3-0 win at #1 Miami.... he was also named CCHA goaltender of the Week on February 4th after stopping 75 of 79 shots (.949) at the home for the Western Michigan series, marking the 1st sweep of the season.

Since when does a little drama mean actually hurt the promotion of sports? And you must remember, our mascots, The Grand Polar Bear and The Almighty Grizzley are not what you would call your usual tame recruits!
