Although plans are in a preliminary stage, officials are looking to renovate and expand the Avis Alaska Sports Complex.

Fans fill the stands during the UAA and Simon Fraser hockey game at the Seawolf Sports Complex in Anchorage on Friday, Sept. 23, 2022.

Officials from UAA and the Seawolf 5th Line, a hockey booster organization, say they are moving forward with developing a plan to renovate and expand the Avis Alaska Sports Complex. That “not only would allow us to meet our needs, but more community needs, and really start to look at us being able to host more tournaments and maybe create some features that the hockey community and ice sports culture just doesn’t have right now,” Buchholdt said.

UAA head hockey coach Matt Shasby said a new facility would be especially important for recruiting, especially since the transfer portal has become such a significant factor in college athletics. Student-athletes are transferring at record rates, opening up a whole other recruitment process that wasn’t part of the equation even five years ago.

“You need to be very thoughtful about it,” Shasby said. “You’re not just building four walls and tossing a rink in. You’re trying to create a new destination for both and youth hockey and for the next 30 years. ... There needs to be a reinvestment into that market.”
