Alaska Fairbanks: "The Polar Bears played local military teams from Ladd and Eielson Air Force Bases early in the season with the Fairbanks team not making their debut until early March when they defeated the university team by a 5-2 score. The Polar Bears played in the Fairbanks Winter Carnival hockey tournament later in the month but were eliminated by 8-4 losses to Fairbanks and 4-3 to the Eielson Outlaws. The Polar Bears had defeated Eielson five consecutive times earlier in the season including 7-6 in February when Don Wilbur netted a hat trick with two goals in the third period and Mike Chamberlain scored with just 20 seconds remaining in the game."
