However, the board offered an opportunity to reinstate the sports programs if supporters could raise enough funds to cover two years of operating expenses. For the hockey program, the amount needed was $3 million: $1.5 million for the 2021-22 season and an additional $1.5 million for the 2022-23 season.<\/p>\n<p>A collection of hockey boosters, alumni, fans and community members dedicated to saving Seawolf hockey from elimination created a volunteer group called Save Seawolf Hockey to coordinate the fundraising efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Save Seawolf Hockey\u2019s short-term vision was to raise $3 million by Feb. 2021 in-order to meet the Board of Regents directive. The group\u2019s long-term vision was to obtain pledge dollars and provide support to sustain the program in perpetuity.<\/p>\n<p>On Feb. 25, 2021 the Board of Regents approved an extension to the fundraising deadline to August 30, 2021.\u00a0The extension came with an agreement between UA leadership and hockey supporters that the following will occur:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>supporters must raise the full amount to cover two years of operating expenses ($3 million),\u00a0and<\/li>\n<li>supporters also must raise the full amount to reinstate the UAA gymnastics program ($444,000 by June 30, 2021 and $444,000 by June 30, 2022) due to Title IX requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Save Seawolf Hockey successfully raised the $3 million needed by the extended deadline to protect the program from elimination. Upon reaching its goal, Save Seawolf Hockey transitioned to Seawolf 5th Line to continue working toward its mission.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_text=&#8221;IMG_5181&#8243; src=&#8221;https:\/\/seawolf5thline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_5181.jpg&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||3%|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; border_width_left=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_left=&#8221;#ffc527&#8243; border_width_left_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; border_width_left_phone=&#8221;0px&#8221; border_width_left_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Seawolf Hockey Alliance is a nonprofit when doing business, and known publicly, as Seawolf 5th Line.&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/seawolfhockeyalliance.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seawolf Hockey Alliance<\/a> is a nonprofit when doing business, and known publicly, as Seawolf 5th Line.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/seawolfhockeyalliance.org\/&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Seawolf Hockey Alliance&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Button &#8211; Seawolf Hockey Alliance&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;\/leadership\/&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Our Leadership&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Button &#8211; Seawolf Hockey Alliance&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seawolf 5th Line is a non-profit corporation created to collaborate with the University of Alaska Anchorage to ensure the men\u2019s ice hockey program is sustainable and continues to grow and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":395,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
