Does Alaska have professional sport teams?

Answer 1

Alaska has two professional (including minors) level teams: 1) Alaska Aces - ECHL (East Coast Hockey League) 2) Fairbanks Ice Dogs - Tier II, Junior A, NAHL (North American Hockey League) Team

Answer 2

There are no major league professional sports teams in Alaska, but there is a minor league hockey team in Anchorage. In addition, college hockey teams, such as University of Alaska-Fairbanks, are involved at the NCAA Division I level. Sports in Alaska generally revolve around the outdoors, including skiing, fishing, hiking, Mountain Biking, and camping. Perhaps the biggest sporting event in the state is the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, covering 1,159 mi (1,865 km) from Anchorage to Nome. The race is held in March, and both men and women compete. With a $50,000 purse, it is the most lucrative sled dog race in the world.

Other annual sporting events include the Great Alaska Shootout, in which College Basketball teams from around the country compete in Anchorage in November, and the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics in Fairbanks in July.
