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.

Moberg an All-American



ST. PETER, Minn. — Three Plattsburgh State players received All-America honors Thursday, led by first-teamer Stephanie Moberg.

Moberg, a senior forward, made her second straight appearance on the East First Team, while goaltender Mandy Mackrell and defenseman Kara Buehler made the East Second Team for the first time.

Isabel Iwachiw (Trinity), Jamie Kivi (Elmira), Randi Zukas (Amherst), Sarah Dagg (RIT) and Katie Stack (RIT) all made the East First Team. Iwachiw also received the Laura Hurd Award, given to the player of the year.

The awards are given out by the American Hockey Coaches Association.

Moberg led Plattsburgh State with 25 goals and 43 points, both career highs. The Saratoga Springs native was named First-Team All-ECAC West and ECAC West Player of the Year earlier this month.

Moberg was the runner-up for the Hurd Award.

Mackrell, a junior from Cleveland, Ohio, took over Plattsburgh State's starting goalie job this season and posted a 17-3-2 record with five shutouts. The ECAC West named her Goalie of the Year.

Buehler picked up a career-high 19 assists as she helped anchor the Plattsburgh State defense. The junior from Skaneateles was also an All-ECAC West selection.

The Cardinals finished the season at 23-3-2.
