Coach RT!

HCF is excited to announce Robert Thomas as the Head Coach for the 10U Major team!

His career after Fairbanks took him to Wasilla where he played in the NAHL and then his path took him overseas to Finland’s Suomi sarja, where he continued his professional career with JHT.
Robert has coached multiple competitive level teams locally; he has been on the coaching staff for Team Alaska for the last several seasons and he led the charge in establishing the HCF skills program.
In 2024 he accepted the role of HCF Hockey Director.
Robert has a unique ability to break down the technical side of skill development while teaching the why behind every movement. That approach builds smarter, more confident players with a naturally high hockey IQ.

Hockey Club Fairbanks is excited to announce that Megan Bunch was elected to be the Board President on April 29, 2026.

Megan takes the reins of the HCF Board from Luther Brice.
Luther has been a leader with HCF since its inception 10+ years ago. He has been involved in the Fairbanks and Alaska hockey community for more than 25 years as a Coach and Board Member with HCF, FAHA and Alaska Ice Breakers.
During his tenure the organization saw significant growth in player participation, expanded development programs, and strengthened partnerships across the local hockey community. The Fairbanks hockey community has been blessed by Luther's leadership, and we are grateful for all he has given us.

Since becoming a board member and treasurer in May 2020 Megan has completely revamped the HCF financial policies and procedures. She has been a driving force behind establishing policies that keep HCF fiscally responsible and transparent. She developed procedures that help teams clearly track their finances while ensuring they feel supported by both her and the organization. Her commitment to using sponsorship funds wisely has been unwavering, and under her leadership, the scholarship program has grown significantly—allowing many more players to benefit from financial assistance. Her husband has coached for HCF for several years and both of her sons play for HCF and Monroe HS.

The Board is excited for the future under Megan's guidance as President.

On Saturday, September 6 in Anchorage as part of the Alaska Hockey Hall of Fame Ceremony, Robert Thomas (RT) HCF Hockey Director will be presented with the USA Hockey New Leader Award!

A little about RT: I grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska, and started playing hockey at five years old. I played all of my minor hockey within the state before finishing my junior career in the NAHL. After that, I spent two seasons playing semi-pro in Finland, where I also began coaching as an assistant with a local youth team.

When I came back home, I continued coaching and have been on the bench ever since. What I enjoy most is helping players grow not only as athletes, but as people. As Hockey Director, my goal is simple: keep hockey fun, affordable, and accessible so every kid has the chance to play the game I love.

I also run a summer league for AAA, junior, college, and pro players returning home, along with “Breakfast Club,” an early-morning summer skate for players home for the summer and holidays. Both were created to give players the chance to stay sharp and enjoy competitive ice time without the heavy cost.

At the end of the day, I just want to give back to the game that has given me so much and be a positive, steady presence in the lives of young athletes.

Congratulations Robert, HCF is blessed to have you at the helm of our program!

Introducing Coach Vockeroth!

I've reached the tipping point at 20 years where I can say I've coached more seasons than I played!

My coaching philosophy is to pass on my passion for the game, and in doing so empower athletes to take ownership of their development path.
As a firm believer in the ADM, the team will focus on growing individual's skills and universal on-ice habits that are transferable to any on-ice situation, team or system.

Players can also expect small area games to be a staple of practice as they build upon the competitive nature of hockey and are the best tool for improving their decision-making process and hockey IQ.

Introducing 10U Minor Head Coach Ashly Young! 

Born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, I grew up around the game and have been playing hockey since I was 8yrs old. Attended several National Camps and played D1 hockey on an athletic scholarship at University of Minnesota Duluth. I decided to move back home in 2010 to pursue my career as a special education teacher.

I decided I wanted to start giving back to the hockey community and started coaching. I have been coaching ever since then, ages ranging from 6U all the way to 19U both girls and boys hockey. I enjoy this different journey in my life from a player to coaching because I am still able to be a part of a game I loved so much and the game that helped molded me into the person I am today.

I am married and have 3 kids who also play hockey. I love being active, fishing, baking, being busy, but my most favorite thing is being a mother.
