New commits for Geneseo: Two goalies, Jacob Torgner and Joel Favreau--both had strong numbers in juniors and should compete with Harris for game time. Sean Melso, top D-man in the NCDC the last two years (27 goals and 73 assists for 100 pts. in 98 games), former teammate of Zarudny with the NJ Hitmen. Should be an instant impact player. Forward Carter Diceman from the OJHL Champion Collingwood Blues. Big energy guy and plays physical at 6'3" 200lbs (22 goals, 29 assists for 51 pts. in 66 games last season). There should be another announcement at forward very soon.

Canton is admitted as an associate member for men's hockey. Everyone not already scheduling Canton loses 2 nonconference games...

On the bright side, there is now SUNYAC Women's Hockey as the NEWHL folds in

I think everyone was playing them at least once. Most were playing them twice. Heck, Potsdam played them four times last season!

So, I'm assuming based on what I heard a number of years ago, the new travel partners will be as follows:

Potsdam-Plattsburgh still
Oswego-Canton
Cortland-Morrisville

Everything else stays the same.
 
Plattsburgh hasn't scheduled Canton since 2019.

Steve Moffat is quoted speaking positively about this news in Plattsburgh's news release on their site today but I feel like if he really wanted them on the schedule he'd have played them more recently...
 
To The Campus Center in Oswego....Cam Symons Forward. 6' 185...BCHL...54gp..16g,26a.42tps....Go Lakers good luck!!!
 
Oswego Lakers pick up transfer goalie from Sacret Heart Brandon Milberg....Soph,played in 3 games last season....should be a interesting goalie battle ....Best of luck Brandon ( resisting Biden pun here)...
 
Goalie for Plattsburgh

GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo and SUNY Brockport are excited to announce that the Empire 8 has accepted their athletic programs as the two newest full time members. The Knights and Golden Eagles will become the 10th and 11th full-time members of the conference and will make history as the first public institutions to join the Empire 8. Geneseo anticipates beginning competition in the Empire 8 in the 2024-25 season.

"This is an exciting new chapter in the storied history of Geneseo Athletics," said Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation Dani Drews. "We are grateful for the opportunity to join such a respected conference as the Empire 8, providing our student-athletes with an outstanding NCAA Division III experience that supports their academic and athletic excellence."

Membership in the Empire 8 will maintain Geneseo's competitive excellence and prioritize the welfare of student-athletes by cutting travel time in half for regular season conference play. This will result in less time away from campus and allow them to balance personal, academic, and athletic responsibilities at an even higher level.

"SUNY Geneseo prides itself on offering equally exemplary academics and athletics, a rare combination," said Geneseo President Denise Battles. "We are thrilled to join the Empire 8, a conference that has earned an outstanding reputation for competitive excellence as well as its leadership in NCAA Division III, most notably in sportsmanship and student-athlete development. This move enhances the overall student-athlete experience, which is of paramount importance to Geneseo."

Current Empire 8 full-time members include Alfred University, Elmira College, Hartwick College, Houghton University, Keuka College, Nazareth University, Russell Sage College, St. John Fisher University and Utica University.

"We are ecstatic to welcome Brockport and Geneseo as core members of the Empire 8," said Empire 8 Executive Commissioner Chuck Mitrano. "Both institutions have excellent academic profiles, field competitive teams, and are committed to enhancing the student-athlete experience. Like our current members, their athletes are highly accomplished in the classroom and active in their communities. Both institutions are passionate about the role intercollegiate athletics plays in the educational mission developing young women and men into well-rounded future leaders. Moreover, they fit into our geographic footprint enabling us to retain and strengthen opportunities for our student-athletes while being fiscally responsible. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary and reflect on our history, this is an exciting look into a very bright future for the Empire 8."

The 2023-24 season will mark the 54[SUP]th[/SUP] year of competition in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC). Geneseo has won the past seven Commissioner's Cup titles, after winning 12 of 19 conference championships in the 2022-23 season. On the national stage, Geneseo has finished in the top-25 in the Division III Learfield Sports/NACDA's Directors' Cup standings each of the last six years of competition.

"This year will be bittersweet as we leave the SUNYAC, where we have enjoyed great success and developed fierce rivalries," said Drews. "The opportunity to create new traditions in the Empire 8 while laying a strong and healthy foundation for current and future Knights is the right direction for SUNY Geneseo."

Equestrian and women's golf will remain in their respective conferences (IHSA and NWGC), while plans for men's ice hockey will be announced in the near future. Please stay tuned to geneseoknights.com and follow us on Twitter/X, Facebook, and Instagram!

 
Guess - they go to the UCHC to protect the conference from the MAC and Utica heading for another pasture.
