Cardinals hold auditions in goal - {Article courtesy of the Plattsburgh Press-Republican 10/26/2014}

By COURTNEY LEWIS Press-Republican
PLATTSBURGH — Charged with replacing two-time All-American Mathieu Cadieux, the Plattsburgh State men’s hockey team got a look at all three of its goaltenders in action Saturday.
The netminders each played a period and Mark Constantine led the offense with two goals and an assist as the Cardinals defeated André-Laurendeau 6-2 in a men’s hockey exhibition at Stafford Ice Arena.
Plattsburgh begins the regular season with a SUNY Athletic Conference road game Friday at Potsdam. Its home opener is scheduled for Nov. 14 against Buffalo State.
The Cardinals have an almost all-new goaltending contingent this season.
Spencer Finney, who transferred from Colgate last year and played one period for the Cardinals, started in net Saturday. He stopped all eight shots he faced. Brady Rouleau, a Fort Macleod, Alberta native who was on Quinnipiac’s roster in 2013-14, played the second period and made two saves. Ryan Hubbard was between the pipes in the third. The freshman from West Bridgewater, Mass., turned away 11 shots.
Plattsburgh coach Bob Emery said the starting job was up for grabs going into the game, and the coaches will watch the tape and evaluate the trio.
“I don’t have a problem with having one goalie, two goalies or three goalies,” Emery said. “Three goalies is tough, however. But we’ve platooned two over the years; we’ve played one. I don’t have a problem either way.”
Constantine, a senior forward, said the Cardinals started out a little shaky but “came together” as the contest went on.
“It gives us a good read on what we need to work on going forward,” Emery added. “I thought it was good to get our first game under our belt. We definitely have a lot to improve. We made a lot of mental mistakes (Saturday), but that’s par for the course for our first game.
“I think that team came to play hard, and I think our mental lapses were covered by our goaltenders really good, which helped a lot.”
Constantine put the puck in the top-right corner of the net 13:10 into the game, and the Cardinals added two more goals in the final two minutes of the first period. Kyle Hall got his stick on a loose puck out front and snuck it in the left side of the goal, and then Michael Cassidy scored from in close.
Constantine one-timed a shot for a power-play goal early in the second period. Defensemen Andrew Rossy was the only freshman to score, finding the net about seven minutes after Constantine. Dillan Fox capped Plattsburgh’s scoring by flicking in the puck as he skated across the slot with less than three minutes left in the period.
André-Laurendeau, which is based in Montreal, received goals from Hubert Delisle and Xavier Bissonnette in the third period. Francçois-David Chouinard stopped 43 of Plattsburgh’s 49 shots.
Plattsburgh’s current roster features 18 returning players, including four of the top five scorers from last year. Last season’s leading point-getter, Alex Jensen, left Plattsburgh to play in Europe. Emery said the roster could still change.
“I think our strength is going to be defense, No. 1, and then holding a lead down and outworking teams down low and making them tired,” Constantine said. “We’re going to be in great shape.”
Emery said the Cardinals are hoping to play a rugged style.
“We tried to get tougher as a team this year, with a little more grit,” he said.

Fun bit of trivia: since Zach Blake was the only Potsdam player to score goals tonight, every person who scored in this game has played for the Cardinals.

Cards rally past Bears in opener {Courtesy of the Press-Republican November 1, 2014}

Going into the season, the Plattsburgh State men’s hockey team’s main focus was scoring goals down low. They did that in their season opener Friday, even if it took a while to get the puck to start going in.
The Cardinals tallied four third-period goals to beat Potsdam 4-2 in a SUNY Athletic Conference game.
“I thought we played hard,” Plattsburgh coach Bob Emery said. “As a coach, you want them to play hard and smart. I thought we played with a lot of emotion. It’s just, the first goal is hard to get.
“I thought once we got the first one, we’d get a couple, and we did.”
Plattsburgh’s first goal came with someone in front screening the goalie, and the next two were on a deflection and a rebound, respectively. Emery said the Cardinals did a great job going to the net.
After Potsdam got on the board in the first period, Plattsburgh played a much stronger second period, according to Emery, but couldn’t get the puck past Jon Hall. In the third, the Cardinals scored three in the first six minutes, starting with Brandon Beadow’s shot from the point at 2:10.
Michael Cassidy, who had five goals all last season, gave Plattsburgh the lead just 33 seconds later and then made it 3-1.
“I thought we did a great job in the second period, and they did a great job defensively and their goalie played really well,” Emery said. “I thought if we kept hammering and hammering, their defense would break instead of bend. And I thought we broke them, finally.”
The Bears got back within a goal when Zach Blake scored on the power play at 10:45, but freshman Ayrton Valente restored Plattsburgh’s two-goal lead.
Emery said Spencer Finney got the start in net because of his performance during last week’s exhibition game, and the junior netminder made 29 saves.
“I think Spencer had some great saves,” Emery said. “He had a really good game in the net (Friday), and I thought that was key to our win.”
Connor Toomey, who transferred in from Merrimack, earned two assists for his first points at Plattsburgh.
Blake put Potsdam ahead with just under six minutes left in the first period. The Bears outshot the Cardinals 13-11 in that frame, but Plattsburgh ended up with a 39-31 advantage.
Hall totaled 35 saves for the Bears.
Emery saw a positive sign in the fact that the Cardinals were able to rally for the win.
“I like the fact that we came from behind. That was a problem last year; we couldn’t come from behind,” he said. “We did a good job coming back in the third period.”
