I am hopeful to see live hockey in the upcoming season. We all know the Bears are going to run the table in the SUNYAC. Lol

SUNYAC announced East/West division for a lot of upcoming sports. Will be interesting to see if they do it for winter/hockey as well.....Comment

The NCAA has proposed a 3 V3 in overtime for all conference games. If nobody scores in the 5 minute OT then there will be a shootout. Is this going to apply to D3 and the SUNYAC??Comment

If it's passed, my understanding is yes. I think they are trying to more closely match their game to the next level (NHL)... I would welcome it. I don't find the 5 minutes of 5v5 to be very interesting. I find most teams are trying not to lose the point for a tie than going for the win.Originally posted by Shield View Post

Wow another 3.5 star recruit looks like a stay at home dman with some offensive ability,National rank of 160 seems exceptional compared to all the other recruits,not sure how much these things count but looks good from here...Dmac didn't see Tommy Cahill on your recruit list coming over from Kings I believe,their top scorer..Originally posted by dmac1103 View Post

I don't have high hopes - NYC just cancelled the NYC Marathon in NOVEMBER...Malls and gyms have no idea when (or if) they'll be allowed to open. SUNY seems to be a pretty large opportunity of control for Governor Cuomo. I don't see him passing on using it. I'll be stunned if there are students on campus for Fall 2020.Originally posted by geneseo View PostSteve

The SUNYAC has recently made plans for Fall sports to commence and most campuses are planning some kind of hybrid instruction in the Fall with smaller classes. Unless, New York's Covid numbers rise again or there are definite signs of a second wave beginning, I think we'll see some kind of on-campus activity in the Fall. Of course that might not hold for campuses in urban areas where "reopening" is moving more slowly.Originally posted by spwood View PostComment

Yea that's what a lot of Colleges are planning right now. I will say on the "hockey" front, it is a complete mess what they want rinks and teams to do. A few of us have been sneaking down to a local rink to get some ice time. Its show up 15 minutes prior to your ice slot, get dressed in a parking lot, go in, two people per locker room, put your skates and helmet on, one player goes out one door, and one to the other. When youre done, you have 15 minutes to clear the rink. No showers, no changing, no socializing. There is then an hour break before the next group can come in.
On the ice, us coaches have to wear a mask if we are with in 6 feet of a player. Only two coaches on the ice at a time. Right now we can only have 10 people total on the ice at a time, so we are looking at splitting our teams up into two groups. There is talk that USA Hockey will limit team rosters to 12 players, which is great since they made us fill a roster with out having tryouts and we have a larger roster than 12. So if they come down with this rule we get to tell kids "sorry but you're signed, but you're cut".
For some of us in NY we can start "legally?" begin skating in extreme small groups. Non contact drills, and must maintain 6 feet and still follow all the guidelines above.
I honestly don't see how you will have a DIII schedule. The schools will not want the liability of bringing in teams from other states to play a sport that (for the most part) loses money for the school. Look at the NESCAC...planning on starting Jan 1. Other leagues not allowing overnight trips. So Plattsburgh has to travel to Oswego, play, and travel home? A lot of home and home weekends. Buffalo trips are pretty much out. Are they going to be like baseball and get rid of conferences and just do regional play to limit travel?
Now you have the Tri-State Gov. putting travel restrictions from high rate states. While most are from the West/SouthEast, what happens when it creeps back north? So Mass has a spike, do we cancel all games with them now?
A lot of moving parts with no real finish line in site....Comment

Congrats to Coach MacDonald. I remember he was a very skilled player and always the fastest skater on the ice. Best of luck at StoutOriginally posted by geneseo View Post#OneKnightComment
