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.

Eagles capture CVAC title

Press-Republican

ROUSES POINT — Cole Carter found the back of the net during a scramble in overtime to give Beekmantown a 3-2 win over Northeastern Clinton and its second straight Champlain Valley Athletic Conference boys' hockey title.

The Eagles (14-1-2, 7-0-1) have 15 points with two games left and own the tiebreaker against Lake Placid, the only team that could catch them.

"I want to congratulate our players and everyone involved in the program for winning the CVAC championship with a great effort (Wednesday)," Beekmantown coach Justin Frechette said. "The past couple weeks we've had a lot of adversity with flu, sickness, injuries. I was pleased with how the boys responded."

Kyle Bisonette gave the Eagles a 2-1 lead 6:35 into the third period, but Alex Duffy knotted the score less than two minutes later.

Carter tallied the winner 2:07 into the extra period.

"There was a scramble in front of our net," Northeastern Clinton coach Rob Francis said. "We didn't clear the zone. It was a bouncing puck, guys were diving all over the place and one of their guys managed to get it over Kyle (McCarthy)."

Nate Foster assisted on all three Beekmantown goals, and Carter finished with two points. Dustin Plumadore made 31 saves for the win.

Austin Bradish opened the scoring just over five minutes into the game, and Northeastern Clinton's Reece Tucker answered not long after. Both goals were scored during power plays.

McCarthy had 23 stops in the Cougars' net.

"It was back-and-forth hockey. Could've gone either way," Francis said. "I'm real proud of our boys. We've played five games in a week, and we have a short bench right now. I couldn't be happier with the effort."
