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 — Amanda Peterson scored what proved to be the game-winner early in the third period to lift Beekmantown to a 2-1 victory over St. Albans in nonleague girls' hockey Saturday.

Cailee LaPorte got the Eagles on the board first with a goal at the 2:23 mark of the second period. Lauren O'Connor picked up the assist on the goal.

"I put three of my freshmen on a line and they seem to be connecting pretty good," Beekmantown coach Ray Guay said. "It was kind of a broken play. She sent it towards the net and it went off one of their players and went in."

Leading 1-0, Peterson connected just 38 seconds into the third period to give the Eagles (13-0-2) a two-goal lead. Bailey Waterbury and Amy LoTemplio were credited with the assists.

"Peterson has been a clutch player for us," Guay said. "She got a nice pass from Waterbury, but she always seems to get goals when we need them."

The Peterson goal was necessary as Aly Hardy scored with 1:45 left in the game for St. Albans on an assist from Jade Remillard.

"This was nonleague, but St. Albans is one of Vermont's premier teams," Guay said. "They won states last year.

"This was the third time we have played them this year; last time we beat them in a shootout. Beating them three times is always a good thing."

Christina Emery captured the victory with 17 saves in net for Beekmantown.

Shanley Horigan turned away 35 saves for St. Albans in the loss.
