A winter storm in northern Alaska has prevented the Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé Crimson Bears hockey team from hosting their senior night Sunday against the Kodiak Bears.

“We are working through details with Kodiak to play on Monday and Tuesday,” JDHS coach Matt Boline said. “If that doesn’t work for them, we will try again in the next couple weeks before the end of the season.”

Alaska Airlines flights to and from Kodiak were cancelled Saturday evening and Sunday morning, which left the Kodiak team grounded at home.

Crimson Bears seniors Elias Schane, Elliot Welch, Jack Barrett, Nolan Cruz, Hunter Lingle, Emerson Newell, Isaac Phelps, Zachary Prather, Issy Martin, Paxton Mertl and John Melancon were to have been honored Sunday night.

The tentative new date for senior night celebration is Friday against Homer.
