2010.03.13 Plattsburgh Faces Middlebury in NCAA Quarterfinal MatchupThere was no doubt tonight's NCAA quarterfinal matchup between Middlebury and Plattsburgh State was going to be intense.

On paper, this would presumably be a dead heat. Both teams had nearly identical overall season records heading into tonight's game (Middlebury was 19-4-4 and Plattsburgh was 18-5-4). In their respective conferences, Middlebury defeated Bowdoin for the NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Conference) Championship while Plattsburgh wound up second best in the SUNYAC (State University of New York Athletic Conference) after succumbing to a grueling Oswego assault.

With the conference title on the line, both teams were looking to bring their best performance to the ice.

2010.02.27 SUNYAC Semifinal - Plattsburgh vs BrockportWith the regular season over with, the Plattsburgh State Cardinals were looking to continue their post season run to earn a shot at the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) championship. Brockport had a fighting chance against Plattsburgh tonight. However, if history was any indication it would be Plattsburgh's game to lose.

Brockport was ready for action - with highly regarded senior goaltender Todd Sheridan in net. Some regard him as one of the finest goaltenders in the conference. Some say he is a force to be reckoned with. Yes, perhaps he is one of the finer goaltenders in the conference. Big deal. I say there is only one word to describe Sheridan in net...

Google Buzz: Is it worth all the hype?

Will Google Buzz be a contender in the social media arena?Admittedly, it is with some trepidation that I slide into the world of Google Buzz. Why? I don't really know. At the moment, I have a pretty full social networking arsenal at my disposal. I have a LinkedIn account which I am looking at breathing new life into. I use Facebook and Twitter religiously. And lastly, I have my own personal space courtesy of this blog.

The last thing I want to do is join another social networking space...but I'm willing to make an exception here.

Stop Governor Paterson From Closing Point Au Roche & Macomb State Park

New York State Governor David PatersonOne of my favorite things to do in the summer is enjoy the beautiful scenery in Upstate New York. Whether you are enjoying an outdoor BBQ among the lush trees, going for a short walk on the trails, spending some time on the beach, or simply enjoying a game of horseshoes - there is something for everyone at our state parks.

One of my favorite parks to visit is Macomb State Park - a park that just so happens to be on Governor Paterson's list of ones that are proposed to be shut down (which includes the closure of 41 parks and 14 historic sites, and service reductions at 23 parks and 1 historic site) courtesy of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPRHP), Governor David Paterson, and Commissioner Carol Ash.

2010.02.13 - Plattsburgh battles Fredonia in final regular season gameTonight's game demonstrated why the Plattsburgh State Cardinals are one of the top teams in NCAA Division III men's ice hockey.

First, I have to give Cardinal goaltender Josh Leis some serious props for tonight's performance. In addition to providing rock solid goaltending all night long, he kept the Blue Devils at bay with several huge saves. Leis delivered when he was called upon; confidently stopping and controlling shots throughout the night.

This confidence seemed to permeate throughout the entire team.
