Sadly, after almost 40 years, this is the last year of the Great Alaska Shootout. The article linked below gives a million reasons it's folding, but as you'd guess, it mostly comes down to $.
I have great memories of growing up, staying up late, and watching this tournament in Alaska every Thanksgiving. For whatever reason, I took comfort in the idea of this tournament happening what felt like half a world away -- it was the TV equivalent of listening to Mike Liut make saves on the transistor radio under my pillow. I'll miss it!
Competition, expense bring curtain down on Alaska Shootout
