Discussion

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.

Delventhal named to NCAA committee

INDIANAPOLIS -- Bruce Delventhal, the director of athletics at Plattsburgh State, has been named to the NCAA Division III Men's Ice Hockey Committee, effective immediately. He will serve a four-year term through the 2010-11 season.

Delventhal joins committee members Steven Nelson (Athletics Director at Wisconsin- Superior), Allan MacCormack (Athletics Administrator at Lebanon Valley College), Michael McShane (Head Hockey Coach at Norwich University) and Mark Ostapina (Head Hockey Coach at Milwaukee School of Engineering) in the selection of the NCAA tournament field and championship administration of the sport.

"I feel fortunate to have been asked to serve on this committee. I have worked with the NCAA throughout the years in different areas, but this will be the first time that I will serve on one of the organization's committees in an official capacity," Delventhal said. "I also feel that this appointment is a sign of the respect the NCAA has for SUNY Plattsburgh and the institution's entire athletic program."

Delventhal has worked for the American Hockey Coaches' Association since 1988 as secretary/treasurer. He is also a member of the board of Hockey Coaches Care, a non-profit charitable organization which raises money to help people in need at all levels of the hockey community.
