Alaska Aces, Anchorage

In 2006—just three seasons after joining the ECHL—the Alaska Aces became the second team in league history to win both the Brabham Cup for most points during the regular season and the Kelly Cup as playoff champions. To make sure the league truly knew who they were, or perhaps because they thought they left their spare locker room keys inside one of the Cups, the Aces won both again in 2011. That consistent play has helped the team build a loyal following, a fact that's impossible to ignore as fans clang their cowbells in support during games at Sullivan Arena. Mascot Boomer the polar bear does his part to rile up crowds by strutting around the arena and getting fans on their feet for every home contest.
