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

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

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.

Red Storm wins on ice

SARANAC LAKE — Drew Tedford tallied two goals as Saranac Lake stormed past Saranac 3-1 in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference boys' hockey.

"We put in a solid perfomance today," Saranac Lake head coach Will Ellsworth said. "The big thing was our third line of freshmen that really stepped up and gave our first two lines a break.

"It was the best the third line has played all season."

Tedford put the Red Storm (11-9-3, 4-3-2) up 1-0 late in the first period with a goal with 13:24 gone with Brandon Patraw and Logan McDougall picking up the assist.

The Chiefs struck back late in the second period as Kevin Kurz scored with just 48 seconds remaining in the period with Shea Branon picking up the assist.

Tedford wasn't done as he scored the game winning goal with 13:25 gone in the third period. Patraw added a empty-net goal moments later with Nick McGrath picking up the assist.

Dana Tarentelli had 15 saves in the win and Aaron Tenbuuren had 22 stops in a losing effort.
