    yeah, I could see this working. One reason the Oswego games are so packed full of students all the time is the fact that all the students go because its so full of other students. It sounds like a paradox, but its true. People who come to Oswego who don't like hockey before they start school here start going to the games because its a very social event. Once they start watching they get hooked and continue going to the games. we regularly get 2,800 people per game and I'd say that 1/3-1/2 of them are students.

      The majority of Plattsburgh State hockey has been based on the community support, not college kids. If you wanted to make 50% college, you would have to tell a hell of a lot of loyal Cardinal fans they are not welcome to the games anymore. Not going to happen. Also the $$$ that the college would lose from free addmission vs. paid addmission. Now having said that, if they were to knock out that back wall and build some sort of a bleacher/bench system for more students maybe. But unlike other major DIII programs, Plattsburgh has lived off its community members, not college kids. I love the atmosphere don't get me wrong, but the idea has been tried for years. Especially with Captain No Fun still in charge, I'm not sure its a good idea.

        The students turned out big time at the USA game. The band played, the students cheered,painted faces and bodies and threw t shirts into the crowd. I found them much more active than last year and enjoyed their participation. It certainly added to the atmosphere. Hope they turn out again on the 18th!

          This is correct. Once Oswego moved into the CC in 2007 it became the "cool thing" to go to Laker games. There were decent student turnouts at Romney during my freshman year, but nothing crazy unless it was the Plattsburgh game and even then 75% of the people that showed up for that game were there to throw the stupid bagel onto the ice rather than watch the game.

          I will say atleast the students have learned a few chants and cheers that have stuck since I've been there and honestly 1,000 strong in the student section every night has started to make the CC one of the most intimidating places to play in D-III.

            The college looked at the number of student tickets that were "consumed" for each game and they averaged 400 students per game which is now the number set aside for the students each game. of course that number rises for the Oswego game so it becomes more of a hot commodity.

            Romney will be missed by all that have been there for the great match ups between Platty and 'Wego!!!

            After Closing out Romney the right way, We opened the new rink the right way.... another loss for the Lakers!

                    Well, when they were giving away up to 4 cases of beer in between periods for score-o, so I don't think they were too concerned about whether people were bringing in booze or not. I remember the whole crowd being lit up.

                      Should be an entertaining weekend of hockey for plattsburgh, buff state looks like they could be a tough team this year. I know those suspensions are from 3-8 games do we know who will be coming back and when? Also I know Bob likes to make an example of people, do you think he'll start those players when their suspensions are over or sit them for a few more games to make a point?

                        Jobb, Farnan, and Taylor as per BTB Monday night. It will be interesting to see the lineups this weekend. Im not sure who you take out really. We have a lot of depth with these freshman all who could be starters at pretty much any DIII program. And still have Docking and McLeod in waiting.

                          I predict we wont be seeing the Gidaro, Blake, Cassidy line...at least two, if not all three.

                              I think you will still see Gidaro in the lineup still, as for the goalies.....your guess is as good as anyones.... I wouldn't rule out a rotation between Leis and Cladeux for a little while.

                                You are probably right....but its nice knowing any one of those three could step in if needed. Blake has a nice physical game, Cassidy is a good role player and Gidaro could become a nifty offensive minded player. Bob can pkug players in that fits each games situation. I think (with no offense to Morrisville and or Potsdam) we cant really get a good idea where this team stands until they
                                A. Play better competition
                                B. Get to full strength

                                We've played a Potsdam team that while goaltending has improved is still a long ways from the calibar of teams making the NCAAs and a Morrisville team who went 0-2 vs the Western powers being outscored a combined 12-3. If Plattsburgh can get 4 poi.ts this weekend I will start to believe a little more.

                                Same thing for the goalies....Cadieaux looked shaky against Morrisville the first period but looked decent the last two periods, but its Morrisville. And then Josh looked great Saturday, but its Potsdam. I think both will get at least one more start each before the Primelink.
