The Cardinals are the name of the sports teams of the State University of New York (SUNY) @ Plattsburgh.

Cardinal Hockey is by far the most notable of Plattsburgh State sports, featuring perennial national powerhouses in both men's and women's ice hockey.

The men's hockey team has won two NCAA D-III Championships (1992 and 2001) and 18 SUNYAC Championships. The women's hockey team has won two NCAA D-III Championship (2007, 2008) and two ECAC Western Division Championships (2006 and 2007). The 2006-2007 Lady Cardinals' team that won the National Championship went undefeated (27-0-2); a feat accomplished for just the fourth time in NCAA hockey history (men's or women's at any level).

Cardinal hockey players have been named first team All-Americans a total of 16 times. For the men's team, Tracey Belanger (1999), Jason Desloover (1998), Steve Moffat (1998), Joe Ferras (1987), Peter DeArmas (1985), Gaetan D'Anjou (1982), and Doug Kimura (1980, 1981) have been first team All-Americans. For the women's team Bree Doyle (2006, 2007), Danielle Blanchard (2007, 2008), Jenn Clarke (2006), Erin O’Brien (2005), and Elizabeth Gibson (2004) have been first team All-Americans.
