Alaska Fairbanks: "Coach Leonard Brumm, who played on the 1948 NCAA ice hockey champions from the University of Michigan, injected new life into the hockey program rebuilding the rink which was soon called Brumm's Glacier and starting the hockey season much earlier than usual in the fall semester. The team, which sometimes skated as the University All-Stars with Brumm playing at defenseman, improved rapidly during the season and was able to defeat Eielson, Ladd, and finally the defending All-Alaska champion Fairbanks Eagles team. Brumm, Christensen, Ferko and Stephl then joined together with the Eagles team to venture to Anchorage for the Fur Rendezvous where they won the All-Alaska Hockey Tournament and the state championship."
