    I remembered what it was, and it had nothing to do with hockey. Anyone have any suggestions of things that are can't-miss in Lake Placid?

      Considering that only time that I was there was for a month in the summer of either 1960 or 1961, I think that my knowledge is outdated, and what a 12 or 13 year old boy liked, you probably wouldn't like anyway. I do remmeber that I enjoyed it. My bother, a cousin, and I were visiting a grandaunt who spent her summers there at the time.

              WaP has a tweet stating that Schroeder's application for a medical redshirt has been approved.

                  If it is still there-the Charcoal Pit on the way north and west out of town was a can't miss. Incredible food and drink. Also from way back (pre Jenny) I knew a hot blonde nurse up there named Gia who doubled as a swim suit model-now that was something that was definitely can't miss!! (will have to make sure the wife does not see this post or i am a dead man)

                    Emily Dickinson also wrote "I heard a fly buzz when I died." Not sure how either quote is germane.

                        This might be an instance of competing goals. It is not always ideal to move as high as possible on a given weekend -- instead, it might be better to remain a little lower but have a stronger buffer against the teams below you. In my view, this weekend is about shoring up our current position, while Atlantic City (if we make it) would afford us an opportunity to really jump up the rankings.

                          True, and another thing is to try to assure that winners of other league tournaments aren't teams that would not have made it anyway. Multiple such winners would be even worse.

                            When we made it in 2011, with exception of Atlantic Hockey, everyone who won their league championship was already in at-large.

                              If you are looking for food it is hard to say as it seems every year I go up there most places have changed hands. Except the Noonmark diner in Keene Valley on the way into the village. They have excellent pancakes if you ask me.

                              If you are looking for stuff to do while there you have a lot of options. Something's I would recommend are:

                              1) Bobsled ride
                              2) Go to the top of the ski jump
                              3) depending on amount of snow toboggan run on Mirror lake
                              4) again depending on snow you can rent snow shoes and they're are a lot of nice trails to use them on.
                              5) if you're a skier/snowboarder, of course, you have to do Whiteface. If you are in luck they will have enough snow and you can do The Slides Awesome back country trails

                              These are just a few things. I suggest you go to the travel center in town and they have plenty of information and will be glad to answer any questions you may have.

                              Enjoy it I love it up there any time of the year.

                                Lake Placid Pub and Brewery.
