Despite having been a Plattsburgh hockey fan since 2008 when I was a freshman this is my first away trip to Oswego...where's a good place for a quick bite between the women's and men's championship games and what might be a good sit down place that will be open after the game (assuming we don't get some 4 OT ridiculousness in either game)...

Sub Shop! Highly recommend a Cheeseburger Sub but anything from Sub Shop is honestly good
 
Whacko Gringo is a fantastic Mexican place. Cheap seats is the best place for wings. press box is ur classic American restaurant/sports bar. Red Sun fire roast also has great pizza/pasta/meats. Would say laparilla for the seafood but they're closed for winter. There's also the classic canales Italian just make sure the team bus isn't in the parking lot. If u guys win and wanna celebrate accordingly a drunk wonzones calzone has saved many college kids lives before just don't use their bathroom. (They're also open till 4am they know their clientele)
 
Rink snack bar will be closed between games (they have a not too bad poutine). We always hit the Sub Shop before Lakers games (and we did last week between the woman's game and the men's).

All the above are good for after the game (except Canales may be closed that late and LaParillia is no longer in business). Blueline Club will be at GS Steamers after the game.
 
Shoot my bad they might want to change that temporarily close status on google also wow they closed in December pretty recent

The concession stand at Oswego is one of the best around. Decent prices and good food (though, the typical concession stand variety). Despite the fact they no longer sell Hoffman Hots (Boooo!), they still have decent hot dogs, very good fries, pretty darn good (but smallish) pretzels, and outstanding huge chocolate chunk cookies (though lately they've been more chips than chunks). I haven't tried anything else, but they do have burgers, I think chicken fingers, some specials, the usual. If the other items are as good as what I've had, you'll be fine. Just get in line early before a game or after a period. They can get long.

They do have some tables outside the rink proper and a lot more tables downstairs, if you want to sit and relax. Obviously, you could go out, but you're talking at most two hours between games. Less of course if there's overtime.

As for a nice place after the game, I'll let the locals answer that. There are some good places, I just can't recall them offhand.

yes the line can be looooooong btw periods of a Platty game for sure...Glad the Blueline Club,Oswegos booster club, now has the hospitality room, saves me a bunch of time just to get a drink.....Looking forward to a great game both mens and women's...Let's Go Lakers!!!!
 
And with that last loss it's the end of an era for the SUNYAC welcome Hobart and Skidmore and congrats to Hobart on their 25-26 SUNYAC championship. Let's just hope Taylor doesn't pull another 2 0.950 goalies out of nowhere again after next year cause I highly doubt anyone wants to deal with beaver/goyer 2.0 for another 4 years
 
With the Financial Aid packages that Hobart and Skidmore can offer over SUNYAC schools, everyone is playing for third. Presidents and ADs should be embarrassed for putting member schools at such a disadvantage.

could not agree more, the leadership at the SUNY institutions just put all sports at a distinct disadvantage, but its D3 sports so many dont give a F*^k....Coaches will have to adapt and overcome...my daughter is going to play Volleyball next yr at Cortland,they have the past 3 SUNYAC titles ,will now have to compete with William Smith who gathers players from all over the country....wait and see what happens....
 
Sure looks like that didn't hurt the Cortland football team. The SUNYAC still have a distinct advantage when it comes to net tuition compared to HWS..It's been said here that Hobart gives heavy financial aid to good hockey players which, I'd like to know where these facts come from. Hobart can be competitive if someone has serious financial need and even grant generous scholarships for the exceptional students, but I think if you post the net tuitions for the athletes on each squad this statement may not hold water Frankly, Hobart has to pitch their Economics major in competition to accredited Business majors or Communication/Sports Management that many in the SUNYAC have. Now when a prospect meets Coach Taylor and the team on a visit that can really close a deal, even after they show them the Cooler. But if a recruit really wants a major like Business /Communications/Sports Management offered by Cortland , Oswego or Plattsburg(Hobart is strictly Liberal Arts) and sees the better rinks, that can be a big differentiator that Coach Taylor may not overcome . Don't get me wrong, as a Hobart grad the colleges have a lot to offer in addition to the best coach in D3 Hockey, but some of the SUNY schools have great offerings and great alumni networks too..... hey, look at Cortland Football filling Yankee stadium for Cortaca and winning a National title, that's pretty awesome. I know every league has issues (except for the NESCAC that oozes money) , but Hobart hockey is happy to join the SUNYAC that looks like it will be more competitive than the last year of the NEHC.
