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.

Storm, PHS win in hockey

DID YOU KNOW?


You can look back over the last 70 years at some of the area athletes and personalities who made headlines in area sports. Flashback will revive memories of great local athletes and outstanding team successes.

PLATTSBURGH — Logan McDougall scored twice for Saranac Lake Friday night as the Red Storm dumped Beekmantown, 4-3, in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference hockey.

Beekmantown battled back from a 3-1 deficit, but Saranac Lake's Tyler Randig scored the game-winner on a deflection late in the third period.

"I give Saranac Lake a lot of credit for traveling on a cold night and playing a good, hard-fought hockey game," Beekmantown coach Justin Frechette said.

Beekmantown's Brett Carnright knotted the game at 1-apiece shortly after McDougall gave Saranac Lake the lead. However, Drew Tedford and McDougall scored early in the second period to gain a 3-1 advantage.

Ethan Waite cut the deficit to 3-2 with a second-period goal on an assist from Kyle Mathieu and Cole Carter.

Mathieu then tied the game at 3-all before Randig netted the deciding score.

Dolan Riley tallied two assists for the Red Storm, and teammates Devin Darrah, Sam Annis and Nicholas Magro each had one helper.

Frank Buksa assisted on Mathieu's goal.

Beekmantown (3-1) hosts Niskayuna today at 1:30 p.m. at Lake City Stars Arena.

Plattsburgh 5,
Niskayuna 2

PLATTSBURGH — C.J. Worley scored two goals and Plattsburgh High School shook off a slow start for a non-league victory at the Stafford Ice Arena.

Luke Miller gave Niskayuna a 1-0 lead in the first period before the Hornets tallied three times in the second when Jack Tolosky tallied his first varsity goal at 3:49, Worley at 12:03 and Jordan Conroy at 14:33.

Brett Burdo and Worley added third-period goals for PHS, which took a 5-1 advantage. Sam Hartz then closed out the scoring for the visitors at 13:54.

Brandon Bechard made 15 saves in net for the Hornets (2-1, 1-1), who held a 38-17 shot edge.

"We played well in the second half of the game," said Plattsburgh coach Jamie Reidy. "We played well enough to win, but we'll have to step up a little bit to be ready for Saranac Lake on Wednesday.

"We did the basics a little better tonight and our top line of Worley, (Ryan) Latinville and Conroy played well."
