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.

Cardinals' Satim, Grace earn SUNYAC honors
FREDONIA — Plattsburgh State's Eric Satim has been named the State University of New York Athletic Conference Player of the Week in men's hockey while teammate Mike Grace has been honored as Rookie of the Week. The period ended Sunday.

It marks Satim's first such award since Jan. 26, 2009, while Grace is the first Cardinal freshman to earn the rookie award since Kyle Kudroch last March 2.

Satim, a junior forward from Montreal, led the Plattsburgh offense with six points on three goals and three assists, helping the No. 3-ranked Cardinals to a SUNYAC road sweep of Buffalo State (7-0 on Friday) and Fredonia (10-2 on Saturday). He capped the weekend with a four-point effort against the third-place Blue Devils, scoring two first-period goals within a 1-minute, 48-second span to erase a 1-0 Fredonia lead.

A defenseman from Rochester, Grace topped all Plattsburgh blueliners with four points, all on assists, in the road sweep. The defense recorded its first shutout of the season against the Bengals and allowed just two goals on the weekend. He ranks tied for 4th in SUNYAC defensemen scoring with six points.

In other Plattsburgh men's hockey news, the Cardinals (6-1 overall and SUNYAC) maintain their No. 3 ranking in the NCAA Division III poll compiled by USCHO.com and released today. They received 254 points behind top-ranked Saint Norbert (297) and No. 2 Oswego (270).
