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.

PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh State women's hockey team plays a preseason contest today before opening the 2009-10 season next weekend.

The Cardinals will host the Nepean (Ont.) Junior Wildcats at 1:15 p.m. at Stafford Ice Arena.

The exhibition replaces one originally scheduled against Ontario Hockey Academy.

The Wildcats, an Intermediate AA club, faced four ECAC West teams last month. They beat Utica 2-1, Oswego 3-0 and Potsdam 6-1. Neumann beat them 5-2.

Alex Gaucher-Loksts leads the Wildcats with 21 points in 22 games. Vanessa Welten has 19 points, including a team-high 11 goals.

Plattsburgh State beat Nepean 6-0 in an exhibition last season.

The Cardinals start the regular season by visiting Chatham Nov. 14-15, and their home opener is the following Saturday against rival and defending ECAC West champion Elmira.

Plattsburgh State was picked by the coaches to finish third in the conference and is ranked fourth in the USCHO.com Division III Women's Poll.
