A CUTTING-EDGE SKATE EVOLUTION
A
n article on the National Geographic
website says that
ice skates have been
around since 3000 B.C. and
were originally made from
animal bones. Based on a study
from Federico Formenti of the
University of Oxford in Eng-
land, the article said researchers believe the skates were
used in Finland for traveling
across large frozen lakes.
More than 5,000 years have allowed for a lot of innovations and
improvements. Skates might not
be used to help individuals hunt
for food anymore, but skates are
still important to hockey players.
Steve “Wack” Serwacki,
store supervisor at Monkey
Sports Superstore (Woodbridge, N.J., and Norwood,
Mass.) said that now is a great
time to be a hockey player
because of the advancement in
skates and how to buy them.
“Buying skates now, or any
piece of gear for that matter, is
a luxury. Everyone makes great
stuff on the whole, and we have
so much information at our
disposal, from product videos
to online media to demo days
to you name it,” Serwacki said.
“It’s a great time to play this
great game because the gear
is made so much better and
there’s so much more of it out
there. We have options. Back
in the day, you didn’t have options like you do now.”
ACCORDING TO SERWACKI, the most important thing to consider is
how the skate fits. “If the skate doesn’t fit correctly, a myriad of problems
can ensue from that,” he said.
Serwacki said there shouldn’t be much wiggle room, especially in
the heel. He said the heel should be snug. Also, there is sizing for the
width of the boot, and that is important to take into
consideration.
“Some people will alter between the two most
commonly found widths, that being ‘D’ and ‘EE’ width.
These variances are fractions within one another but
can make a world of difference when comparing similar
sizes,” he said.
“You also have to consider toe cap height, toe box volume and the
‘fill’ of the skate, that being how much your foot recesses down into the
heel when you drop your foot in,” he added. “These are all important
factors when looking for that great fit.”
The best way to find the right fit is to not be afraid to ask for help. The
pros suggest going to a top-notch pro shop and trying on the boots
yourself so you know exactly how they fit.
“You have to go to a place that’s reputable and a person that knows
what they’re doing when you go for a skate,” said Union College head
coach Rick Bennett, who also played in the NHL for the Rangers.

so much and my feet were so

forward.”
MANY KIDS GO TO THE SKATE
shop and purchase the same
equipment as their favorite players so
they can look like them and because
“if it’s good enough for the best, then
it’s good enough for me.” While using
the players to promote equipment is
a common marketing technique, the
kids might also be interested in the
how behind the
buying process,
not just the what.
What do the
HOCKEYSKATES
pros consider
when they need new skates? For all,
comfort really is the key.
“I don’t want something digging into
my ankle or side of my foot,” said Keith
Kinkaid (Farmingville, N.Y.), a goalie with
the New Jersey Devils organization.
“You don’t want something poking you
or being a bother to you.”
Kids will be drawn to a skate
because of how it looks, but for a
number of pros, the look isn’t nearly
as important a factor as how they feel
in the skate. “Young kids might get
excited about the appearance of the
skates. They’ll think of it as an accessory,”
said Jon DiSalvatore, who had 28
points for the Syracuse Crunch in the
2013-14 season and has scored 60
points four times in his nine-year AHL
career. “It’s fun to look good and fast
and more importantly you want to be
comfortable, your heel set in the back,
the boot isn’t too wide, and your toes
are touching the top just a little bit.”
DiSalvatore said it was important
to note that going to buy boots isn’t
exactly like buying sneakers; the boots
run smaller than your average shoe.
“I’m an 11½ shoe and I’m a 9½ skate,”
he said. “You don’t want to order them
the same size. The width too could
be different than what you normally
experience in a shoe store. I know
there’s all sorts of ways to order online,
but I encourage players to try on a
bunch of skates, roll their ankles, bend
on the edges, see how the foot feels
shifting from side to side, because that’s
how the game is played.”
It’s also important to break in the
skates. Some pro shops these days
have a special oven to heat the skates
enough so when you put them on
right away, they mold to your foot.
“I’ll have them use the skate
oven and then you sit there 10 or
15 minutes just sitting, not walking
around, and the molding will form to
your foot,” Kinkaid said. “You do that
two times, use them for two practices,
and then you’re ready to go.”

what matters is that they’re still earning
a paycheck to play the game they love.
Just as hockey on this side of the Atlantic is an increasingly international
game, in places like Moscow, Berlin,
London, Helsinki and a hundred cities
in between, players from the United
States and Canada can be found on rosters at every level of the European game.
Some are castoffs who never found a
path to the pros in North America. Some
bounced around the minor leagues here
before opting for a new start over there.
Some are proven players whose names
would ring familiar to even casual hockey fans, but who for one reason or another ended up forging a different path
— often an unexpected one.
At least one North American can
be found on almost every elite team
in Europe. And make no mistake: The
majority of them are not exiled hasbeens just trying to hang on. In Germany’s top-flight DEL, for example, it
was rare for a non-North American to
lead any team in scoring last season.
The quality of the many European
leagues is as varied as the languages
spoken among the nations involved.
There are dozens of leagues throughout Europe, and in some countries
there are multiple leagues with promotion and relegation structures akin
with the continent’s soccer circuits.
In other words, there are lots of places
for a wayward North American to land.

from West Islip, N.Y., played seven seasons in North America, including a twogame cup of coffee with the New Jersey
Devils, before opting to hop across the
Atlantic and join Spartak Moscow in
2013.
It was a strategic move for the 5-foot11, 195-pound forward who showed
some scoring pop in the minors but
was hampered by concussion issues.
“For me, it was mostly to get on the

THE
PRIDE OF
NORTHCOUNTRY
By Phil Shore
The 2014 NCAA women’s ice
hockey national championship was a
chance to rewrite the history books.
Since Clarkson University was
founded in 1896, no sports team had
won an NCAA championship.
In the past two seasons, no team had
beaten the Minnesota Golden Gophers
in the NCAA tournament finals. This
season, no team had
beaten Minnesota in
KNIGHTS’ RATTRAY
WINS KAZMAIER, PG. 7 the final 26 games
prior to the title game,
and no team all year had scored more
than three goals against Minnesota.
No team outside of the Western
Collegiate Hockey Association had
ever won the championship.
But as the clock expired March 23 at
TD Bank Sports Center on the campus of
Quinnipiac University, it was the thirdseeded and ECAC member Clarkson
Golden Knights who were celebrating
a 5-4 victory over top-seeded Minnesota
and hoisting the championship trophy.
“A lot of people were assuming Minnesota was going to win again,” said
sophomore Shannon MacAulay, whose
goal with 4:16 remaining in the third
30
period proved to be the game-winner.
“That was a motivator for us. We used
it to our advantage. We worked just as
hard, if not more than they had, for this.
That was one of the best parts, knocking off them, proving everyone wrong.
We never got a crack at them until now.
It was cool to get a chance and take it.”
Two weeks before the tournament
started, the Golden Knights lost to Cornell in the ECAC championship game
but rebounded nicely in the NCAA
tournament with wins over Boston
College (3-1) and Mercyhurst (5-1).
In the semifinals, Mercyhurst actually opened the scoring for the game,
putting the Golden Knights in a hole
before they stormed from behind.
So when Minnesota scored first in
the finals thanks to a goal from Sarah
Davis 9:40 into the game, the Clarkson
players were able to keep their poise.
“We told the kids before the game
that it was going to be a full 60-minute
game, that we had to stay composed,”
said Clarkson co-head coach Shannon
Desrosiers. “It didn’t matter because
we knew if we stayed composed, we’d
win. Don’t panic.
“(The semifinals) was the first time
all year we had won a game after

moment.
getting scored on first. It was huge.
We had done it two days before. We
would get our chances. We just had to
stay with the process,” she added.
Those chances would come, and
they would come in a flurry. The Golden Knights scored three goals in a span
of two minutes. “Hockey is a big momentum game, especially in the championship game,” said senior Jamie Lee
Rattray, whose power-play goal put the
team up 3-1. “It was getting the puck to
the net and creating some havoc.”
Momentum shifted again, however,
as the Gophers scored twice before
the end of the period. The two-time
defending champions on such a roll
might discourage other teams, but the
Golden Knights kept a confidence that
was present all season long.
“I think when you play big games,
you have to weather storms like that,”
Rattray said. “They scored two goals to tie
it up, and we did a good job to weather the
storm between periods. We regrouped.”
With 8:28 remaining in the third period, senior
defender Vanessa Plante scored on a slap shot
to put Clarkson ahead. Then with 4:16 left in the
game, MacAulay got the puck on a breakaway,
went one-on-one with Minnesota goalie Amanda
Leveille, put the puck past her top-shelf, and almost
accidentally took out the referee on the celebration.
“The energy in the rink was phenomenal.
When I got the breakaway, I tried to stay calm
and relax,” MacAulay said. “It was a big goal,
which got us two ahead and gave us confidence. We just had to battle it out.”
The Golden Gophers answered with a goal
of their own, but they wouldn’t steal the momentum like they had done in the second period. The Clarkson defense stayed strong and
the Golden Knights held on for the victory.
“The final two minutes were stressful,” MacAulay said. “Our team was just trying to stay
confident. We just kept thinking defense first,
battle on the boards and keep things simple. We
had to keep telling ourselves we were going to
win. Having Erica Howe was helpful. We knew
she wasn’t going to let anything past her.”
“I would think with four minutes left it was
just the moment was so real,” she added when
asked about worries that Minnesota would tie
the game like they had earlier. “There’s four
minutes left and we were going to win it.”
It was that confidence in their own game
that helped Clarkson set a team record in victories all season. It was that confidence that
carried the Golden Knights in the finals.
“It’s belief and confidence in each other and
our system,” Desrosiers said. “It was our goal
from the start of the year, and they knew if they
kept working and believing, they could do it.
You always think that’s a cliché, but when you
see it happen, it’s not.
“There was no doubt in our mind as a coaching staff that we were going to get that one. We
were confident because they were,” she added.
As MacAulay pointed out, the championship game did have a bit of the classic David
and Goliath feel to it. Minnesota — who Desrosiers said is a “very special team and special
program” — is the prominent
women’s ice hockey team,
which is just a part of the
large Division 1 landscape at
the university.
Hockey is the only
Division 1 sport, however, at
Clarkson, and Potsdam is not
necessarily a big city. Desrosiers said the support from
the Clarkson faithful — those
who had been waiting for the
school’s first championship in
any sport — was inspiring.
They even surprised the
team when they got back to
campus. “At the rink, there
were over 1,000 fans. They
brought us to center ice and
introduced our team,” Desrosiers said. “With all our fan
support there and along the way, it’s unique to
see how it brings together our community and
alumni. Today (co-head coach and husband)
Matt (Desrosiers) and I are trying to respond
to hundreds of messages.”
The fans and alumni are happy to see the Golden Knights finally come out on top, but the players, especially the seniors, could not be happier.
“It’s a dream come true,” MacAulay said.
“When you start in the NCAA, it’s something
you always think of. You work hard for it, so
it’s an amazing feeling.”
Rattray shared her teammate’s excitement.
“After Olympic gold, it’s the hardest trophy
to win,” she said. “It’s pretty special, and I’m
going to take it all in.”
Rattray is part of a senior class that, in an interesting twist of fate, came completely full circle
from where they began this championship journey four years ago. “Our seniors opened their
first game their freshman year against (Minnesota),” Desrosiers said. “And they lost 5-0 the first
game. It just shows what they put into it.”
Rattray — who earlier that weekend won
the Patty Kazmaier Award — had one goal and
one assist in the final and was named tournament MVP. Senior goalie Erica Howe made 34
saves. MacAulay had one goal and two assists.
As is the case with any championship team,
however, Desrosiers said the victory was a
complete team effort.
“We had all of our depth show in the championship game,” she said. “Three of our scorers were on our, quote, ‘third line.’ We have so
much depth, we don’t see it as that. We just
have three lines, none better than the other. It’s
neat to see those kids rise to the occasion.”
Desrosiers, Rattray and MacAulay admitted
that they were not sure the enormity of the victory had set in on them quite yet, and also were
not sure how to exactly describe their feelings.
Like their play on the ice, however, sometimes
it’s the simple ways that work best. MacAulay
seemed to sum it up pretty well: “To be looked at
as national champions is pretty sweet.”

championship game.
VanGlahn, Aveson spark Cardinals

By Phil Shore
As the old cliché goes, “If at
first you don’t succeed, try, try,
try again.” You could also say,
“The third time’s the charm.”
After two consecutive
seasons of losing in the NCAA
Division 3 women’s hockey
tournament semifinals, Plattsburgh State (28-1-1) defeated
Norwich, 9-2, for its first national
championship since 2008.
“I think the biggest thing it
means to me is that we as a
team accomplished something
that has eluded us for the past
two years,” Cardinals head
coach Kevin Houle said. “That
is the ultimate and a great feat
for those kids.”
Getting to the championship almost eluded them this
year as well.

was a trigger for
enough time for either team to
score a goal, let alone decide
a winner. It wasn’t until there
was 4:49 left in the extra period
that senior defender Allison Era
scored her fourth goal of the
season to give the Cardinals the
1-0 victory and push them to
the championship game.
“After the game I was
exhausted and ready to go to
sleep,” said senior Chelsea VanGlahn (Point Pleasant, N.J.).
But for the last game of the
year, and for the seniors’ last
game of their careers, being
tired wasn’t an option.
“The next day I woke up and
my legs were tired, but I knew
it was my last game and one
of the most important games
I ever played,” VanGlahn said.
“The big thing is mind over
matter. You have to keep telling
yourself you’re not tired.”
Houle said that despite
