November 25, 2025: In front of nearly 1,000 local elementary school students, the SUNY Potsdam men's hockey team (4-4) defeated SUNY Canton (4-5) 4-3 in overtime on a goal from junior defenseman Rocco Seery (Bloomingdale, Ill./East Coast Wizards). The Bears' "School Day" game was attended by students from Lawrence Avenue Elementary, Norwood-Norfolk Elementary and the sixth grade from St. Lawrence Central. HOW IT HAPPENED Canton broke the ice at 12:58 of the first period. Junior forward Jackson Drysdale (Owen Sound, Ontario/Brantford 99ers) scored from the left faceoff circle. Junior forward Nico Shoener (Bloomingdale, Ill./Nashville Spartans) and freshman forward Colton Alexander (Cochrane, Alberta/Neepawa Titans) had the assists. Kangaroo penalties gave Potsdam a five-on-three power play and the Bears made the most of the opportunity. Senior forward Mathieu Parent (Kapuskasing, Ontario/Renfrew Wolves) found junior assistant captain Eli Doughart-Wood (St. Louis, Mo./Navan Grads) at the right point. He ripped a shot past Canton senior goalie Kelson Hooper (Ogdensburg, N.Y./Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights) to tie the score. Sophomore forward Owen Watson (Smiths Falls, Ontario/Smiths Falls Bears) started play in the left corner and picked up the second assist. Canton regained the lead with a power-play goal at 16:27 of the second period. The Roos went point-to-point to sophomore forward Logan Kelly (Cobourg, Ontario/Cobourg Cougars) in the left faceoff circle. Kelly one-timed a shot past Bears sophomore goalie Luciano Chinappi (Hilton, N.Y./Boston Jr. Rangers). Senior defenseman Scott Cremen (Arnold, Md./Team Maryland) and senior forward Evan Pringle (Aurora, Ontario/Oakville Blades) picked up the assists. Drysdale gave the Roos a 3-1 lead with a shorthanded goal 3:32 into the third period. Junior forward Conor O'Brien (Wilbraham, Mass./Powassan Voodoos) and sophomore defenseman Jake Howard (Pompton Lakes, N.J./Utah Outliers) earned the assists with the breakout. The Bears answered just 52 seconds later. Sophomore forward Finnegan Kilmurray (Ottawa, Ontario/Smiths Falls Bears) intercepted a Canton pass and fed freshman forward Platon Krasnoiarov (Khabarovsk, Russia/New Hampshire Mountain Kings) in stride. Krasnoiarov then beat Hooper to make it 3-2. At 15:15, junior forward Will O'Brien (Jefferson Hills, Pa./HC Rhode Island) knocked home a rebound off a shot by senior forward Ryan Mahlmeister (Massapequa, N.Y./PAL Islanders) to tie the game. Watson had the second assist. Just 40 seconds into overtime, senior forward Jeremy Quesnel (Alexandria, Ontario/Hawkesbury Hawks) picked up a loose puck behind the Bears net and carried down the ice. He left it at the left point for Seery, who fired from the left faceoff circle to beat Hooper for the game-winner. INSIDE THE NUMBERS  Canton outshot the Bears 41-29. The Roos were 1-for-5 on the power play and Potsdam went 1-for-6. Chinappi finished with a career-high 38 saves to earn his first career victory. Hooper stopped 25 shots.

NoveMber 5, 2025: Junior forward Jackson Drysdale scored twice, but the SUNY Canton men's hockey team fell 4-3 in overtime to the Potsdam Bears in a non-conference road matchup on Tuesday. SUNY Potsdam welcomed members of Lawrence Ave Elementary, Norwood-Norfolk Elementary, and St. Lawrence Central Elementary to the game which featured an 11 a.m. start time. There was standing room only at Maxcy Ice Arena with attendance estimates coming in at 1124 spectators.    Records: SUNY Canton (4-5-0, 0-3-0 SUNYAC) | SUNY Potsdam (4-4-0, 1-2-0 SUNYAC)  HOW IT HAPPENED  The Roos got some heavy pressure going early one with four shots on net in the first 1:20.   With 12:04 left in the period, the Roos got a 3v2 going the other way with clean look near the left faceoff dot by Reilly McKinnon, but it hit the right pipe. With around seven minutes to play in the first, Niko Schoner fed Drysdale the puck from the top of the crease into the low slot. Drysdale redirected it and the puck slid under the pad of Luciano Chinappi as the Roos opened the scoring. Despite dominating shots on goal at this point of the game, SUNY Canton ran into trouble after getting called for a cross-checking penalty, then only 20 seconds later, were called for a slash. This gave Potsdam a 5v3, and the Roos initially held their own, but with 4:32 left in the first period, Eli Doughart-Wood scored on the two-man advantage off a slap shot from out near the blue line. The first period ended tied in a 1-1 tie with the Roos holding a 17-8 advantage in shots on goal. Potsdam looked much better in the start of the second period than they did in the start of the first, putting together several solid shifts in the SUNY Canton zone and outshooting the Roos 7-5 through 10 minutes. The Roos committed a five-minute major with 9:26 remaining in the period, but the penalty kill looked incredible with SUNY Canton forcing dump-ins and going the other way on rush chances. The Roos outshot the Bears 3-1 early despite being outnumbered 4-to-5 before drawing an interference call on Potsdam. After some 4v4 action, SUNY Canton had a shortened one-skater advantage. As the Roos were set up in the Bears' zone, Pringle played it to Scott Cremen at the blue line and Cremen saw Logan Kelly open on the left faceoff dot for the one-timer. Kelly slapped a missile past Chinappi as the Roos got their first lead of the day.   The Roos held onto their 2-1 lead into the second intermission while continuing to dominate shots on goal as they were doubling up Potsdam 36-18. Potsdam got on the power play early into the third, but the Roos won a puck battle behind their net and an odd-man rush developed going the other way with Connor O'Brien and Drysdale. O'Brien fed Drysdale the puck at the left hash marks and Chinappi could not get over in time as Drysdale for a shorthanded goal and a 3-1 SUNY Canton lead with 16:28 left in the game. After this third goal though, the Bears started to ramp up the intensity. Following a zone clear, Platon Krasnoiarov beat the Roos down the ice and scored just 54 seconds after the Roos made it 3-1. The fast-paced 3-2 hockey game lasted for the next 10 minutes, but with just over five minutes left, Potsdam knotted it even. Owen Watson took a shot that Kelson Hooper made a save on, but Will O'Brien got the loose puck in front of the net and slid it in for the game-tying goal with 4:45 left to play. Regulation ended with the game at 3-3. Potsdam outshot SUNY Canton 10-5 in the third period, but shots on goal were still 41-28 in favor of the Roos. SUNY Canton won the opening faceoff in the 3v3 overtime, and Cremen and the Roos took it behind their net looking for options. Spencer Sasenbury came up the left side down the ice with the puck, but good defense from the Bears forced Sasenbury to behind the net where Potsdam took over. The Bears wasted no time coming up with speed down into the Roos zone, and Rocco Seery took a wrist shot from the left face-off dot which snuck into the SUNY Canton net as the Bears won the overtime game 4-3.  Drysdale's two-goal performance was a career-best for the Owen Sound, Ontario native as well as his first multi-point effort. He also led the Roos with five shots on goal while Kelly scored his second goal of the season in the game. The Bears had four unique goal scorers, and nine players logged points in the game. Seery scored the overtime game-winner and Watson was the only multi-point performer with two assists. Hooper made 25 saves for the Roos while Chinappi faced 41 shots, stopping 38 of those in his hard-earned victory. Final shots on goal were 41-29 in favor of SUNY Canton. The Roos were 1-for-5 on the power play and scored a short-handed goal. Potsdam scored a power play goal on their first opportunity but could not convert on their next five attempts.

November 22, 2025: Holly Gruber stopped 36 shots overall and was helped out by a third-period goal from Lara Beecher as the Clarkson University Women's Hockey team finished off a home sweep over the weekend, downing Yale University 3-2 in ECAC Hockey action Saturday afternoon at Cheel Arena. The Golden Knights, ranked 11th in the most recent national poll, improved to 9-5-1 on the year and 5-2-1 in ECAC Hockey contests, while Yale, rated 14th in the last poll, fell to 7-4-0 and 4-4-0 in league games. Clarkson will be in the District of Columbia next weekend, taking on Ohio State on Friday and St. Cloud State on Saturday. There were plenty of scoring opportunities for both teams in the first period, as the teams combined for 28 shots on goal with the majority of attempts staying on target instead of going wide. In fact, the very first shot of the game for either team found the back of the net, barely a minute into the contest. Sara Manness carried the puck into the offensive zone and pushed the puck forward for Manon le Scodan. She then went below the goal line and used some vision to see her teammate in front, sending a backhand pass into the slot for Janelle Evans, who finished off the play on the glove side of Yale goaltender Anna Phillips at 1:02. Yale recovered with a goal about seven minutes later and then took the lead in the final moments of the opening period. The Bulldogs got their first goal at 8:35 thanks to a strong stretch in the Clarkson defensive zone, putting four shots on goal in less than 30 seconds. The fourth of those attempts came in a three-shot flurry, with Sophia Levering's first attempt from the point getting it close and then Cami Bell stuffing in her own rebound to make it 1-1. Ten minutes later, the Bulldogs took the lead with a transition out of their own end, creating a 2-on-2. It eventually turned into a 3-on-3, but that was due to a pass finding an unintended mark. Carina DiAntonio was on the left hand side and attempted to pass through the slot to Avery Chesek, but a Clarkson defender was able to deflect the puck away. Unfortunately for the Knights, it ended up on the stick of a trailing skater, as Molly Boyle was the recipient of the redirected puck, flipping her shot under the crossbar at 18:35. Yale controlled the second period in terms of shots (25-12) and shots on goal (13-4), but it was Clarkson that was able to come away with a score and even up the contest at 2-2. Midway through the period, the Knights had the puck in their offen                         sive zone when it was poked away from Sara Manness. The freshman collected the puck behind the net and then began a square of passing, going around the end line to le Scodan, back to the right point for Morgan Walton, and then over to Keira Hurry at the left point. Hurry took a shot from between the left circle and the blue line, utilizing a screen by Manness in front, and the puck found a soft spot in the defense at 12:35, Hurry's fourth goal of the year. It wasn't until the third period that either team was whistled for a penalty, with the Bulldogs going on the power play early on in the frame. Yale nearly regained the lead following a Holly Gruber save when the rebound went to a Yale stick but the next attempt slid behind Gruber in the crease and over to the right side boards. That was Yale's best chance by a wide margin as the teams remained tied. When Yale came up empty after the power play, the Knights used the small shift in momentum to take the lead for the first time since early in the opening period. The Bulldogs turned the puck over in the Clarkson defensive zone and Sena Catterall backhanded the puck beyond the blue line and through most of the neutral zone, finding Lara Beecher for a 1-on-1 at the opposite end of the ice. Beecher went along the right side, dragging the puck to delay her shot, and eventually wristed a shot over the right shoulder of Phillips to make the score 3-1 at 7:42 in the third.     Yale pulled its goaltender with about three minutes to play in an attempt to knot the game up one more time, but three shots went wide, two were blocked before they challenged Holly Gruber, and one save was made by Gruber with roughly 90 seconds to go, as the Knights survived the late flurry of attempts from the Bulldogs. Yale finished with a 38-22 lead in shots on goal, giving Gruber 36 saves for the Knights and Phillips 19 saves for the Bulldogs. There was only one power play in the contest, with Yale coming up empty in that two-minute stretch.

November 16, 2024: Emma-Sofie Nordström recorded 33 saves, but a late third period goal and an empty netter gave the sixth-ranked Clarkson Golden Knights a 2-0 win over the ninth-ranked St. Lawrence University women's hockey team in non-conference action on Saturday afternoon at Cheel Arena. Saturday's game looked a lot like Wednesday's, as the first two periods remained scoreless and both goalie's were up to the task keeping the game deadlocked 0-0. After the first 20 minutes, Clarkson held a slight 8-7 edge in shots on goal. With 2:30 to play in the second, Tori Verbeek looked to give St. Lawrence the edge, going one-on-one with Clarkson goaltender Julia Minotti, but Minotti went down for the leg save. Equally, the play headed back down the ice and Nordström shut the play down for a battle of the goaltenders. The Saints sent a flurry of shots on net as the clock wound down in the second, but the game remained tied 0-0 and the Golden Knights held a 27-21 advantage in shots. The Golden Knights found the back of the net with six minutes to play in the third. A bad turnover down low, gave the Knights the puck and Anne Cherkowski sent a low shot past Nordström for the 1-0 lead. Clarkson sealed the win with a long-range empty netter from Haley Winn for the 2-0 final. "Tough break for our team today," said head coach Chris Wells. "I thought we played a solid game. Both games this week were back and forth with each team getting their chances. Clarkson executed one more play than we did today and that was the difference." "It's one of the better games we have played over here in a while, and we had good belief right up until the end. We grew another step closer to getting to where we want to be this week with these games regardless of the outcomes. Players are getting better in a lot of areas that will pay off each weekend in our league." Nordström recorded 33 saves for the Saints, while Minotti finished with 27 for Clarkson. Clarkson finished with a 35-27 advantage in shots on goal and outshot the Saints 66-59 overall. Neither team was able to capitalize on the power play, both going 0-for-3 on the afternoon. St. Lawrence moved to 8-5-3 on the season, while Clarkson improved to 10-3-1. The Saints hit the road next weekend to take on Yale and Brown, November 22-23. Game times are scheduled for 6 p.m. on Friday vs. the Bulldogs and 3 p.m. on Saturday against the Bears.  

November 13, 2024: Sarah Marchand scored and Emma-Sofie Nordström made 28 saves, as the ninth-ranked St. Lawrence University women's hockey team skated to a 1-1 tie with sixth-ranked Clarkson in non-conference action in front of 3,251 spectators for a school day game on Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday's crowd of 3,251, featuring schools from all around the North Country, set a new women's hockey attendance record at Appleton Arena. A fast-paced game from the start, both goaltenders were up to the task, as the Golden Knights held a slight 10-9 edge in shots on goal after the first 20 minutes. The same continued in the second, as the Saints and Golden Knights were locked at 0-0 and Clarkson led 21-15 in shots on goal. Marchand broke the ice for the Saints, just 24 seconds into the third period. Taylor Lum fed Marchand, who skated into the Golden Knights zone, she passed it off to Kennedy Wilson from deep in the corner, but the original shot from Wilson was stopped by Julia Minotti. The rebound was corralled by Marchand, who lifted a high shot over Minott's shoulder for the 1-0 lead. Just about four minutes later as the Saints attempted to clear, Shelby Laidlaw picked up the puck of the board and fired a shot from the point past Nordström to tie the game up 1-1. Both teams had their fair share of chances in the remainder of the third, including a breakaway from Abby Hustler, but she wasn't able to get the shot off. With 20 seconds to play, Haley Winn also looked to net the game winner, but she'd get tied up as the clock expired. Following a scoreless overtime period, the game moved to penalty shots. Marchand, the second skater for the Saints, put on the brakes and went top corner for the 1-0 shootout lead. Nordström stopped the next, but both Nicole Gosling and Sena Catterall found the back of the net to give the Golden Knights the 2-1 shootout win. "What another fantastic day for North Country and women's hockey," said head coach Chris Wells. "The fans were excellent and engaged and both teams put on a very entertaining game for everyone in attendance. Both teams played fast and physically. It was a game where the result was exactly what it should have been. Both teams could have won on many occasions." Nordström stopped 28 shots for the Saints, while Minotti finished with 26 for Clarkson. The Golden Knights finished with a slight 29-27 edge in shots on goal. Today's non-conference action moved the Saints to 8-4-3 on the season, while Clarkson moved to 9-3-1 overall. "A tremendous amount of work went into putting on this game and we can't thank SLU enough for providing an experience that we will all remember. Clarkson administration set the standard last year with this game and were also lending a helping hand this year. We look forward to next year already!" The Saints will head to Cheel Arena in Potsdam on Saturday, November 16 for the second game of the week. Puck drop is 3 p.m.
