We don't need to sugarcoat it. ALK isn't a team for everyone. We see it on every GM's counter-offer in FA.
Anchorage is cold. Ice cold. No trendy night life. No sandy beaches. No tinsel and glamor.
The northern lights are pretty, but let's face it, it's a tough sell. (1/4)
The press may be crickets, but I haven't been. I've already publicly rebuked the players involved, internally punished them and made my expectations of them crystal clear. Do not conflate my players with Adam Tevela to try and make a point. You have much stronger tools. -GL
Isn't it about time everyone leaves Adam Tevela alone? He hasn't even touched a negative news cycle in ages, and yet there's a constant judgment cloud over him while players who aren't even all-stars ran through the streets of Montana like damn clowns and the press is crickets...
@stachattaccNY Not anymore, you don't. I've seen enough street cam footage to tell you both that you're done. I've texted you and Dustin both an address. Be there or don't expect to suit up in an Alaska jersey again. -GL
@FBAreportaur Was a pleasure to plan and facilitate this game. Not least of all to let them spend time together in Ravi's homeland with family, but it just happened to work out well timing-wise.
@RibbonsAndDimes@HemKeya Okay, lovebirds save it for the wedding ceremony and vows. (Which you two still haven't notified me or your teammates of the dates on, afaik, unless you've got a private official ceremony happening first)
Arctics faithful, your preseason schedule is set!
10/19 - @ Arizona Demons, in Mumbai, India (cultural celebration of @HemKeya and appreciation of their wedding to @RibbonsAndDimes )
10/24 - vs. Huntsville Mayors
10/26 - vs. Seattle Summit, in Juneau, AK
10/28 - @ Biloxi Venom
@3XThreatTerry Yeen... table? That's an interesting way to refer to a tauric fur, Terry.
Is your GM a table too? Should I come to your first meeting with a tablecloth and a teaset draped over my back, maybe a deck of cards?
We thank @Tripl3Trey for everything he's done in Alaska, and welcome @YourKenjiFrost to the Last Frontier. While we understand fans' confusion at this deal, this trade was done at Mr. Conley's request and we will allow him to tell his story on why.
TRADE: The Alaska Arctics send Tyler Conley and $8m in 2024-25 Cap to the Tallahassee Typhoons in return for Kenji Frost and TAL's 1st Round Pick in the 2025 FBA Draft.
We wish Mr. Ó Raghallaigh the best in Vegas, and reiterate this was not personal, but done out of necessity on other factors. We will see you on the court and look forward to seeing the best you can give us, and welcome Ms. Thompson to the Arctic crew!
TRADE: The Alaska Arctics send Ciarán Ó Raghallaigh and ALK 2nd Round Pick in the 2025 FBA Draft to the Las Vegas Wildcards in return for Poppy Thompson and $2m in 2024-25 Cap.
We wish Mr. Ciappara well over in Williamsburg and thank him for his invaluable time with Alaska last year. He will be missed, but absolutely earned this contract.
This one's gonna hurt for a while. But this is just the tip of the iceberg of what Alaska can do. Get your tickets ready for 24-25 and show your Arctics players some love for an incredible run!
Alaska congratulates @HemKeya and Dustin Foley on making the ASW festivities! And while @IceConley was voted in, he kindly stepped out to make room for others. Thanks for believing in your Arctics, fans!
@FBAreportaur Just like when I left the FBA and had a long career in Europe, it seems my first stop wasn't a harbinger of how the second one would go.
I mean, I have rings from both leagues, though, so you tell me...
We thank Mr. Serra for his services here, and wish @CraftyLex23 the best in his future endeavours. This move was done exclusively due to Mr. Serra's previous statements about being unhappy in Alaska, rectifying a return brought about by previous management.
AMNESTY: The Alaska Arctics utilize their Amnesty to void the remaining $15m, 1 year contract of Alessandro Serra. Alessandro is immediately available as a Free Agent and is not restricted to a length cap.
