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.

Freshmen step up for Cardinals

MORRISVILLE -- Freshmen accounted for eight points Saturday night in the Plattsburgh State men's hockey team's 8-3 win over Morrisville in State University of New York Athletic Conference play.

The Cardinals, playing their first road game of the season, improved to 3-0 in the conference and 4-0 overall.

Freshman Kyle Kudroch and Phil Farrow led the Cardinals with two goals each.

Shawn Dennis, Riley Hill, Dylan Clarke and freshman Vick Schlueter added a goal each.

"Our freshmen needed a game like this," said Plattsburgh State head coach Bob Emery. "It was good for their confidence to let them see how it's done and get some results. Kudroch and Schlueter worked their tails off."

Kudroch's unassisted goal, his first as a Plattsburgh State player, put the Cardinals ahead to stay at 5:44 of the first period. He added his second goal early in the third.

Schlueter then closed out the Plattsburgh State scoring with his first goal as a Cardinal.

The Cardinals held a 3-1 lead after one period and a 6-1 edge after two.

"We did what we had to in order to win the game," Emery said. "I give them credit. Morrisville doesn't have a lot of skill, but they work their tails off. They're not an easy team to play against.

"They got into some early penalty trouble and we have all our guys back on the powerplay this year. We took advantage of that and forced them to play catch-up hockey against us."

Timothy Dorak, Andrew Alarie and Evan Kernohan scored for the Mustangs (0-6, 0-4).

Bryan Hince turned away 18 of 21 shots in the Plattsburgh State nets. The Cardinals finished with a 47-21 advantage in shots on goal. Plattsburgh State went two-for-10 on the powerplay and the Mustangs, two-for-four.

The Cardinals are back on the road this coming weekend for SUNYAC contests at Brockport on Friday and Geneseo on Saturday.

"This is the start of a big stretch on the road for us and it was good to get the first one," Emery said. "We'll see how we do next weekend."
