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.

Beekmantown girls advance to semifinals

Press-Republican

CHAZY — The Beekmantown girls' hockey team played to its potential Friday night.

Five players scored a goal each as the unbeaten Eagles skated to a 5-0 victory over Albany Academy in the Upstate High School Hockey League Tournament quarterfinals.

"It's the fourth-straight year we've made it to the Final Four and we've been to the finals twice," Beekmantown coach Ray Guay said.

"We're overjoyed. We came out tonight playing like we can. Even though Albany was a threat, I had a deep bench and we used it. We wore them out."

Jessica Huber and Kallie Villemaire scored in the first period for Beekmantown, while Lauren O'Connor, Brielle Carnright and Kirsten Doran tallied in the second.

Doran and Amy LoTemplio each added two assists.

"The defense got in on the scoring, which is always good," Guay said. "Doran and Amy (LoTemplio) are defensemen.

"We worked as a fully-functioning team tonight right from the drop of the puck. We put pressure on them all night. We played three full periods and to get where we want to be, we need to do that."

Christina Emery recorded the shutout in net for the Eagles with 11 saves. Beekmantown held a 39-11 advantage in shots on goal and Shannon Zoe stopped 34 shots for Albany Academy.

The Eagles (18-0-2, 16-0-2) will likely play either Oswego or Alexandria Bay in the Final Four semifinals.
