List of Alaska Nanooks men's ice hockey seasons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of seasons completed by the University of Alaska Fairbanks men's ice hockey team.

Alaska has made two NCAA tournament appearances in its history. However, as a result of NCAA rules violations, the berth in 2010 has been vacated and Alaska officially has never played in a Division I national tournament.
