FAIRBANKS - The Alaska Nanooks hockey program has announced the addition of sophomore goalie, Zak Brice. Brice, a Fairbanks native, spent his freshman season with the Arizona State Sun Devils in the NCHC. He is a left-handed catch standing at 5-11, 181 pounds. 

"Zak is a hard working, athletic goaltender," said head coach Erik Largen. "He is a tremendous competitor as well. He's a great teammate and a student of the game who's always looking to improve." Before attending Arizona State, Brice spent two seasons in the NAHL with the New Jersey Jr. Titans after a season in the BCHL. In 2022-23, his first year with the Titans, Brice appeared in net 38 times. He posted a 2.29 GAA, .921 save percentage, three shutouts, and 25-8-1 record in 2178:30 minutes.

In his second season with the Titans, Brice appeared in the same amount of games and posted a 22-13-1 record. He had a 3.22 GAA, .900 save percentage and another three shutouts. In total, through three years and 77 career NAHL games, Brice was 48-21-2 in net, with a 2.76 GAA and .910 save percentage, including six shutouts and four playoff games. 

Brice did not appear in a game for the ASU Sun Devils in his lone-season. He intends on studying business administration at UAF and is the ninth addition, and second transfer on the 2025-26 roster.
