CANTLON: COLLEGE PLAYOFFS ARE UNDERWAY

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HAMDEN, CT - The topsy-turvy world of Division I college hockey this year was on display again last weekend and in Hamden, CT being the most prime example. The Brown University Bears, a .500 team entering the weekend, upset the fifth-ranked team in the nation in the first round of ECAC quarterfinals, sweeping the Bobcats on their home ice. Last Friday, the Bears thoroughly out-played Quinnipiac who were without three players as a result of suspensions from an end of the regular-season wild brawl with both the league and intra-state rival, Yale. On Saturday night, Alex Whalen scored two goals and gave QU a seemingly safe 2-0 lead entering the third period. That lead disappeared faster than you could say, "Quinnipiac." The Bobcats surrendered two goals, 32 seconds apart in the first 1:54 of the final frame from Max Gottlieb, (Old Bridge, NJ) and Tommy Marchin. Brown built a 3-2 lead in part from a gorgeous Alex Beaudoin breakaway goal. Beaudoin took a loose puck at the blue line and snapped a shot to the stick-side and they held on for the 4-3 win to advance to the conference semifinals this coming weekend in Lake Placid, NY. It will be their first appearance since 2012. A key play in the second period was a blocked shot by Zach Giuttari (Loomis Chaffe) of an open net shot after Brown netminder, Gavin Nieto, was caught out of position on an attempt by Ethan de Jong. The blocked shot kept the score at 2-0. Yale's season ended when they lost in two straight games to Clarkson University in the always tough arena. In Hockey East, in Game 1, UMASS-Amherst had to go to double-overtime to win 6-5, but they came back in Game 2 with a 6-0 series-ending win over New Hampshire. The Hockey East playoffs at the TD Bank Garden in Boston saw BU vs. Northeastern in the first game and Boston College vs. UMASS-Amherst in the second. Hockey East Major awards were announced with Hobey Baker nominee Cale Makar being named the conference's Player of the Year. In UCONN’s season-ending win over UMASS-Amherst, Huskies head coach Mike Cavanaugh gave a full vote on Makar. “He plays at another level and that is one of the best defensive corps in the country. He’s got my vote for Hobey Baker.” BU’s freshmen, Joel Farabee, was named Hockey East Rookie of the Year. UMASS-Amherst's head coach, Greg Carvel, won Coach of the Year by guiding the Minutemen to their first conference title ever. The Big 10 Final has a football feel to it with Penn State playing at Notre Dame. NCHC semifinals at the Frozen Faceoff in St. Paul, MN pits Colorado College vs. St. Cloud State and defending national champion University Minnesota-Duluth against Denver. The ECAC Final Four at the Herb Brooks Arena in Lake Placid sees Cornell vs. Brown and Clarkson vs. Harvard. In Division III, at the Frozen Four being held at Wisconsin-Stevens Point, one of the semis features the host school playing Hobart College and Norwich University (VT) playing Geneseo (NY). WOMEN’S FROZEN FOUR The National Women’s Four comes to Quinnipiac this weekend at People United Center. On Friday there will be two semifinal games and the Final on Sunday. Among the four finalists participating are the Wisconsin Badgers. They are coached by former Hartford Whaler and member of the famed 1980 US Olympian, Mark Johnson. They make their sixth straight Final Four appearance and feature Jessica DeVito (Kent School). #6th ranked Cornell knocked off the #3 ranked team, Northeastern, winning in overtime on a breakaway goal by Gillis Frechette to earn their berth. It’s their first Final Four appearance since 2012 and the Lady Big Red feature Paige Lewis from New Canaan. #4th ranked Clarkson, a two-time defending national champion, will make their fifth straight appearance in the Final Four. They won as leading scorer Elizabeth Giguere (Quebec City, QC) tallied the overtime winner over #5th Boston College, the Lady Eagles winning by a score of 3-2. Both games are airing on the Big 10 Network at 4 pm and 7 pm with Sunday’s Final at 2:30 pm. INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY The Kuwait Warriors won their first title in the KIHL (Kuwait Ice Hockey League) beating the Kuwait Stars in their short season four-team league. They finished nine points ahead of the Stars. The league-leading scorer is a Serbian, Bodan Zidarevic. He is one of eight import players in the league the rest of teams rosters are Kuwait natives as they seek to grow the sport in the Arabian peninsula. One of those other imports was the league’s second-leading scorer, Czech-born and former Danbury Whaler, Kamil Vavra, who is with the Kuwait Falcons. Vavra also is an assistant coach with the Kuwait National Team Read the full article

NYPA’s Patricia Wilson Recognized with Entrepreneurs’ Hero Award

The Reh Center for Entrepreneurship at Clarkson University will host its seventh recognition dinner on Thursday, April 6, where it will honor three individuals for their commitment to and support of entrepreneurship.

Patricia K. Wilson, the New York Power Authority’s Economic Development Manager for the North Country, will be recognized with the Entrepreneurs' Hero Award. This award is given annually to an individual or group who provides resources resulting in increasing the viability of multiple entrepreneurs located in the communities served by the Reh Center for Entrepreneurship.

Wilson joined NYPA in May 2016 to fill the newly created position of Economic Development Manager for the North Country, based out of the St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project in Massena. In that role, she works in close collaboration with area economic and community development professionals to bolster existing businesses and build new ones. Among her areas of focus are connecting businesses to lower cost power opportunities, NYPA-supported funding resources and advancing the opportunities outlined in the St. Lawrence County Economic Development Study, which includes a focus on entrepreneurial growth.

Those strategies include: an Entrepreneur Accelerator to aid high-potential growth entrepreneurs in scaling up their businesses; Main Street Small Business Services designed to simplify small business starts; deploying programs that will Foster Youth Entrepreneurship; and, work in partnership with existing initiatives that advance entrepreneurial opportunities, like Clarkson University’s Reh Center for Entrepreneurship and the Shipley Center for Innovation.

The team of local leaders working with Wilson to advance those entrepreneurial activities includes: Marijean Remington, Atlantic Testing Laboratories; Tom Plastino, St. Lawrence County IDA; John Wicke, SUNY Potsdam; Dale Rice, SBDC – St. Lawrence County; Brooke Rouse, St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce; Ron Bacon, Community Bank NA; Erin Draper, Reh Center for Entrepreneurship; Melinda Little, Point Positive; Ben Dixon, St. Lawrence University; and, Lenore VanderZee, SUNY Canton.

In the 18 years leading up to her role at NYPA, Wilson helped strengthen and grow small- and medium-sized firms throughout the North Country region as a marketing consultant for CITEC Business Solutions, an economic development partnership program of the Department of Commerce and Empire State Development.

She is a graduate of Massena Central Schools and Marist College, where she completed the rigorous Science of Man Honors Program, receiving her Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts, with a concentration in marketing. She has completed certifications as a Family Business Advisor through the Galliard Group, a Eureka! Winning Ways Growth Coach, and a Lean White Belt.

In her 30 years of community involvement, Wilson’s service has included the Massena Village Planning Board, Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massena, Boys & Girls Club of Massena, Moving Massena Forward Task Force, Adirondack Economic Development Council, and two terms on the Massena Village Board as Village Trustee, Deputy Mayor and member of the economic development committee.

She credits her parents and grandparents with instilling in her the importance of community involvement and her interest in helping businesses to thrive. They leveraged their success as small business owners to launch merchant associations, provide “makers” with space and sales opportunities and founded numerous events to entice visitors to the community.

Growing up in Massena, Wilson now lives in the house her grandparents built there, with her husband Les. Her 26-year-old daughter, Christina, is an Education Specialist at Massena Central School and her 22-year-old son, Ian, will graduate from Clarkson this spring.
