Air Force will take part in this weekend’s Kendall Hockey Classic in Anchorage, Alaska, after the host school worked out the Falcons’ travel accommodations during the government shutdown.<\/p>\n
All Air Force intercollegiate events have been postponed by the shutdown, but Alaska-Anchorage confirmed late Tuesday that the Falcons would indeed travel to Anchorage for the tournament. Air Force is scheduled to play Alaska on Friday and Alaska-Anchorage on Saturday.<\/p>\n
“Despite the government shutdown, we are pleased to announce that we have worked with the Air Force Academy to accommodate their travel to Alaska,” Alaska-Anchorage athletic director Keith Hackett said in a news release. “Thanks also to the hard work of our staff and the assistance of our terrific corporate partners at Alaska Airlines, we will be able to provide a first-class experience for both our own student-athletes and those from the visiting teams.”<\/p>\n
