Anchorage Dominates the Ice Dogs in Fairbanks
October 8, 2022 – North American Hockey League (NAHL) – Anchorage Wolverines News Release
The Anchorage Wolverines beat the Fairbanks Ice Dogs 6-2 at the Big Dipper Ice Arena in
Fairbanks, shocking the Ice Dogs in their home opener. Anchorage scored five unanswered goals in
the contest and went three for four on the powerplay, rolling past the home team with an impressive
offensive performance. Shane Soderwall also played well in between the pipes for the Wolverines,
making 25 saves on 27 shots.
Fairbanks got the first goal of the game, scoring just a minute and fifty-six seconds into the
1st period. Anchorage would have a chance to respond when they went on the powerplay for the first
time with seven minutes left in the frame, and they capitalized quickly, with Aiden Westin potting
his third of the year off assists from Layton Liffrig and Cameron Morris. The Icedogs regained the
lead late in the period, but with under two to play in the 1st Wilson Dahlheimer scored another
powerplay goal to tie the game going into the middle period.
The rest of the game would be dominated by the Wolverines, with Anchorage scoring two
goals in both the 2nd and the 3rd period. Logan Lyke got what would eventually be the game winning
goal off an excellent pass from Andy Ramsey, and then Trent Powell added to the lead two and-a-
half minutes later. In the 3rd, Mortiz Lackner scored his first junior goal just over five minutes in, and
later in the frame, Cameron Morris added to the Wolverines’ lead, scoring his first goal of the season
on the powerplay. Morris’s goal would be the last of the contest, with Anchorage winning by a final
score of 6-2.
Lackner ended the game with three points, tallying two assists alongside his goal. Morris and
Westin both had two points apiece, with the rest of the Wolverines’ scoring being more evenly
dispersed. In fact, of the 19 skaters dressed for Anchorage, 13 had at least one point in the game. The
