Basically Central New York and Lawn Guyland (spelled phonetically as the locals pronounce it) only. They don't recruit the western part of the state.
ND had a player a few years back, Kevin Randall, who was from my neck of the woods. Blake Riordan (Albany goalie who scored a goal vs. Cornell in first round of last year's tourney) is from this area as well. Maryland also got a player from this area.
Not national powerhouse programs in this area, but pretty good overall talent, and more open recruiting, at least in Western NY, than you might think.
