Lakers Lose in Stunner Against Potsdam
The Oswego State men’s ice hockey team lost against the Potsdam Bears by a score of 1-0. After the loss, the Lakers drop to 18-4-2 overall and 13-1-1 in SUNYAC play while the Bears move to 10-9-5 on the season.
Aside from a power play goal from Potsdam in the first period, the game consisted of only chances. The Lakers outshot the Bears 42-20 but were unable to find the back of the net mainly due to the play of Potsdam’s goalie, Brendan McMeninmen. Max Novick led Oswego with a career high 10 shots.
The SUNYAC’s leader in goals against average and save percentage, David Richer, stopped 19 shots for the Lakers.
Oswego will have its regular season finale tomorrow against Plattsburgh in their annual Whiteout Game at 7:00 pm. The team will also honor its three seniors including captain Mitch Herlihey as part of Senior Day.

Syracuse Chiefs dormant stocks cleared with new ownership
By Ryan Fox
OSWEGO, N.Y.– Two years ago, 4,000 people held stock in the Syracuse Chiefs. This year, that number is down to 1,700. Syracuse.com reports that the Chiefs turned over 5,626 shares held by 2,300 people to New York state in 2015 and 2016 as abandoned property because the club had lost contact with their owners.According to Chiefs General Manager Jason Smorol, the team had no choice but to turn over the stocks, as it was required to clear its shareholder rolls of “dormant” stock by the state’s Abandoned Property Law. Under this law, businesses in New York are required to transfer abandoned money or securities to the state comptroller’s Office of Unclaimed Funds in a process called escheatment. While the transfer of dormant stock is required by state law, Syracuse.com reports that the Chiefs had never transferred it before their 2013 change in leadership.
The Chiefs have been community owned since 1961, when the AAA Montreal Royals moved down to Central New York. The local community wanted to ensure their team would be in Syracuse without worrying about a satellite owner moving it to a bigger market. Shares of the team were sold in 1961 and 1967 at $10 a share. With the team’s impending sale to the New York Mets, an official Chiefs press release values valid shares at $1,440 a peice. Abandoned shares have been frozen at $19 a share.
Syracuse.com reports that Smorol is in talks with the Comptroller’s Office about reissuing stock to those who come forward before the sale to the Mets goes through.
Owners of purged shares can contact the state comptroller’s office to try and reinstate their shares at (800) 221-9311.

If that sounds like a typical Saturday between friends it’s because at the heart of the Story Teller’s Guild, there’s a community of people who enjoy spending time together.Vice President Tiffany Baez said the Story Tellers Guild is close knit group of people like a family. Baez said that although not everyone might be interested in the club because it is what she calls ‘nerdy’, the members of the club really enjoy it.
Story Tellers’ Guild Member Jessica Miller said the Story Tellers Guild was the first club she joined on campus.
“Most of my friends on campus are in the club. It gives me stuff to do so I don’t sit in my dorm all night which is fantastic,” Miller said. Miller said she wrote a game for the club this past week which she said is something she never thought she’d do.
