Alan "Ducky" Drake has been calling Plattsburgh Cardinals hockey for 37 years. His catch phrase, "Stick a fork in the (opposing team's nickname), they're done!" has been used countless times during that time span. But according to Drake, last night was the first time that he had used the phrase only to have the opposing team come clawing back on Plattsburgh.
Ducky stuck the fork in Potsdam when sophomore Vick Schlueter scored to give the Cards a 3-0 lead with 18:11 left in regulation. The Bears then scored three straight goals and eventually left the Stafford Ice Arena with a tie.

Plattsburgh Announcer Ducky Drake Guilty Of Premature Forking
I'm a sports reporter who most recently covered Syracuse University football for Clear Channel Syracuse (620 WHEN & 570 WSYR).
I attended SUNY Oswego where I majored in Broadcasting-
Mass Communications. I was also the Voice of the Lakers (VOTL) from 2007-2009 on 88.9 FM WNYO Oswego. It was during this time that I created this blog, then known as the WNYO Sports Blog. Upon leaving Oswego, I took the blog with me. I am a supporter of SU & Oswego State Athletics, as well as the New York Yankees, NY Giants, and NY Rangers. The VOTL.com is also simulcast on Bleacher Report.
