More News on a Professional American League

Ice Hockey. Dog sledding. Winter Sports. In Alaska there are probably people playing everything I would think though with shorter summer sports seasons due to the weather. Alaska has a population base big enough to even have competeive local leagues. There are about 730,000 people in Alaska with a substantial population around the biggest city Anchorage.

Alaska have a lower division Ice Hockey team that play out of Anchorage and have had a couple of NHL players.

Hockey would be big in the Yukon as well. Along with various other winter sports curling especially. Keep in mind that the population of Yukon is pretty tiny (34,000) and most of that is concentrated in the town of Whitehorse.(28,000 in the town and immediate area)

This is correct, with dog sledding being the more popular in both areas. Dog sledders such as Hugh Neff and Lance MacKey are as popular as say Christian Ronaldo in Portugal.

BAseball and softball are also wildly popular during the summer.
