PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

Semifinals matchups set; Cardinals to play Buffalo State Saturday

Anonymous Press-Republican The Press Republican Thu Feb 23, 2012, 02:23 AM EST

FREDONIA — Plattsburgh State's Mike Grace, Mathieu Cadieux and Kyle Kudroch were named to the SUNY Athletic Conference men's hockey All-Conference teams this week.

A junior defenseman from Rochester, Grace made the First Team. The blueliner has 11 assists, 10 of which came in conference play. He was also named All-SUNYAC last year.

Grace has appeared in all 25 games thus far, providing a veteran presence in a defensive unit that has allowed just 48 goals. Plattsburgh has held its opponents to 1.92 goals per game, which is second in the SUNYAC and fourth in Division III.

Cadieux, an Oshawa, Ontario native, was selected as the First-Team goaltender. The sophomore has made an immediate impact in his first season with the Cardinals. He finished the regular season with a 14-4-3 record and a .931 save percentage. His 1.80 goals against-average ranks second in the SUNYAC and sixth in the country.

Cadieux is one of just three sophomores to receive All-SUNYAC accolades and the first Plattsburgh goalie to be recognized since 2008-09.

Kudroch, a senior forward, made the Third Team — his first All-SUNYAC nod. He led the Plattsburgh offense much of the year, finishing the regular season as its leading scorer with 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists). The Cottam, Ontario native has appeared in 104 games and registered 79 career points.

Semifinals set

The second-seeded Cardinals will host third-seeded Buffalo State in a SUNYAC semifinal at 7 p.m. Saturday. The Bengals edged No. 6 seed Potsdam, 4-3, in Wednesday's quarterfinals.

No. 1 seed Oswego will host No. 5 seed Fredonia, which defeated No. 6 seed Geneseo, 4-1, Wednesday. The championship game will be March 3, hosted by the highest remaining seed.
