It s time for the Plattsburgh State men s hockey team to take care of business. Defending their title would get the nationally-ranked Cardinals back into the NCAA Division III Tournament, where they finished third in the country last season. I ve been happy with our last three games, but not totally satisfied. We re still giving up too many quality scoring chances, and aren t playing as well as we are capable of.
Good defense comes from the heart and mind.
You have to play defensively with heart, and also think out there on the ice. But emotionally we are much better. I ve been satisfied with the little things we ve been doing, like blocking shots and finishing checks. That will be key to our success as the season winds down. Fredonia did play unbeaten RIT tough a little over a week ago, dropping a 4-2 decision on the Tigers home ice.
