Fairbanks Ice Dogs

Head Coach: Ryan Theros (2nd season)

2023-24 season record: 22-30-2-6 – 52 points (6th in Midwest Division)

2023-24 leading scorer: Reece Cordray (47 points)

2024-25 Division: Midwest Division

With his 1st year at the helm complete, Fairbanks Head Coach Ryan Theros is looking forward to build on that season and his experience. The Ice Dogs fielded a young roster last season but as two players aged out and more moved on to collegiate hockey, Theros set a strong focus on rebuilding the goaltending group and building his roster around the returning players. With a strong fanbase behind him and the Ice Dogs, his goal is to bring the Robertson Cup back to Fairbanks and develop his group as players on the ice and young men off the ice.
