News: Battle Of Plattsburgh

With the conference title on the line, both Plattsburgh and Oswego were looking to bring their best performance to the ice. Of the two, Oswego was prepared and ready to do battle. Plattsburgh, on the other hand, was in for a rough night.

Tonight's NCAA Division III men's ice hockey matchup between Plattsburgh State and Buffalo State had all the makings of a physical and demanding battle. With Buffalo State averaging eighteen (18) minutes or so in the penalty box per game - and the recent disqualification from post-season play - it likely would be a tough night on the ice.

As the Plattsburgh State Cardinals prepared to do battle with rival Oswego, several things were certain. Both teams have had a solid start to their 2009-2010 seasons. Both teams were tied for the top spot in the SUNYAC conference. And after tonight, only one of the two rival squads would grab the reigns and establish their superiority.

A favorite local tradition is the Battle of Plattsburgh reenactment - which takes place every fall in beautiful Plattsburgh, NY.  This event (sponsored by the Battle of Plattsburgh Association) is meant to honor and reflect upon the significance of the land and naval battles that occurred here during the War of 1812.

A timeline of the Battle of Plattsburgh I created as a project in one of my classes.

Welcome to the Kent-Delord House Museum. We present to you a family who were community leaders for three generations in Plattsburgh, NY, from 1797 to 1913. They were involved in the Battle of Plattsburgh during the War of 1812, the American Civil War, and the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
