Siena's ACHA D2 coaches are coaching the Adirondack team (which for some strange reason includes most of the capital district...), so I actually got the pleasure of helping out with the first round of try-outs (ironically, the one held in Albany, not Plattsburgh).
Good group of kids. Some really fast skaters. Some not so much. Coach put them through it all in that tryout, and more than a handful of them looked to still have the endurance to keep it going. I'm not 100% positive how many from that try-out made it, and how many were from the Plattsburgh try-out. But I can tell you that if they got the same talent level or better from the Plattsburgh try-out, they've got one helluva hockey team for the ESG age group. Lots of future college potential, if you ask me. The oldest of these kids will be entering their senior year of High school the fall... they have plenty of time to mature even more in prep school or juniors, if they choose to go that route.
Also pertinent to DIII Men's Hockey... Central's Women's team, the only one on the list with only 1 coach listed, is coached by a very familiar name: Glenn Thomaris of Elmira, NY.
