FAIRBANKS – On Friday night, Alaska cemented home ice for the first round of the playoffs with its dominant 7-2 victory against rival Alaska Anchorage in game three of the Alaska Airlines Governor's Cup.
 
The Nanooks will be the No. 3 seed for the first round of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs and will the host the No. 6 seed, which could be any of these four teams – Michigan Tech, UAA, Northern Michigan or Lake Superior State.
 
The final pairings will be determined following Alaska's regular-season finale against Anchorage tonight, which will complete the season schedule in the entire WCHA.
 
Alaska will host the best-of-three postseason series from March 13-15 at the Carlson Center.
