About Us
Foundation.
Fairbanks, Alaska has a rich hockey tradition dating back to the early 1900’s when organized hockey began. For over a century Fairbanks has hosted a variety of organizations and levels of hockey including youth, girls, competitive, non-competitive, senior, junior and college. Fairbanks teams and players have experienced successes at the national and international levels as well.
Fairbanks is fortunate enough to currently host a NCAA Division I hockey program (UAF Nanooks) and a premier Junior A Hockey team (Fairbanks Ice Dogs) in our small northern city. These programs were built with many hours of hard work and dedication to the sport of hockey over the past 100 years. The programs that exist today are products of the past builders, players, coaches, parents, and fans of the game.
Fairbanks has a strong history of building the game and producing quality players, teams, coaches and referees and it is this strong history that will lead us into the next generation of our game.
Hockey Club Fairbanks is proud to be the largest youth hockey organization in the state, and have athletes in our program participating at all levels from Developmental to National Bound Teams. For more details about our programs & teams click here.
