It's been said that long, long ago a few people in Alaska were once intrigued with flyball. There was an early version of a flyball box, one having a single foot pedal and tin can to hold and pitch the ball. Later, a newer version with a solitary hole and carpeted front was tried. Sadly, flyball in Alaska never seemed to take-off nor did it become an active dog sport. A decade of years slipped by.
In 2004 the winds of change blew upon "The Last Frontier" and there appeared two dogs who knew the game well.
In the midst of an icy lair, with authority and raised sticks, the ACES hockey team declared "let there be flyball!"
And...so it was...the very first Alaska flyball demo.
Indy, Erin, Timber and Linda fulfilled the command in April, 2004 with a 2-dog flyball extravaganza presented to Anchorage, Alaska ACES hockey fans!
See for yourself as Bob, the ACES announcer tries his best to intimidate the athletes while Timber and Indy steal the show and WOW! the crowd...
About six months later the first flyball club in Alaska was formed. In January 2005, Timber and Indy shared their encore invitation from the ACES Hockey Team and performed a 4-dog demo together with Willoughby and Colby.
