PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

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.

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.

LAKE PLACID — Evan Knox scored two goals and Lake Placid pulled away to a 5-1 victory over Northeastern Clinton in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference hockey Saturday afternoon.

Knox gave the Blue Bombers (3-2, 2-1) the lead in the first period and broke a 1-all tie at 5:23 of the second after Bobby Marks had tied the contest for the Cougars at the 3:41 mark.

Lake Placid then broke it open in the third on goals by Dylan Cassidy at 4:31, Keegan Barney at 11:13 and Alex Coffrin at 13:32.

Both teams took 19 shots on goal and Brady Hayes made 18 saves in the Blue Bombers' nets.

"It was an up and down the ice game and we had a nice third period," said Lake Placid coach Keith Clark. "We scored on the opportunities we had.

"We played hard again."

It marked Lake Placid's second win over NCCS this season.

Niskayuna 1

PLATTSBURGH — Tyler Huber's goal at 11:49 of the second period broke a 1-all tie and helped send the Eagles (4-1) to their non-league win at Lake City Stars Arena.

Beekmantown bounced back from Friday's 4-3 loss to Saranac Lake.

"We had a tough loss the night before and I wanted to see how the boys would respond to the adversity," said Beekmantown coach Justin Frechette. "They passed with flying colors and I was proud of them.

"Our work ethic was good and we got good leadership. We're off to a 4-1 start to the season."

Austin Bradish gave the Eagles the lead at 12:34 of the first period, only to have Sam Hartz answer for Niskayuna at 14:31.

It stayed tied until Huber's goal, and then Kyle Mathieu added some insurance when he tallied at 6:54 of the third.

Beekmantown held a 39-14 shot advantage and Brandon Foster made 13 saves in net for the win.

"Our defense did a great job in their zone and our wingers did their job sliding the puck off the boards and into the neutral zone," Frechette said. "We were able to get the puck in deep and go to work. We got a lot of pucks on the net."

Beekmantown plays at Northeastern Clinton Wednesday.
