Assemblyman Zebrowski & West Haverstraw Mayor D’Amelio Unveil New Roller Hockey Rink at Peck’s Pond

Published

on

WEST HAVERSTRAW, NY – This past Saturday, Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski joined with the Village of West Haverstraw Mayor Robert D’Amelio and Village Officials for the ribbon cutting of a new roller hockey rink at the Peck’s Pond Recreation Facility.

Zebrowski was able to secure $125,000 in state funding for the revitalization project including critical resurfacing and new boards for safety and insulation of the rink during the colder months. The Pecks Pond Rink had been in a state of deterioration and needed these infrastructure upgrades to be operational.

The ribbon cutting of the rink coincided with the New York Rangers “Breaking the Ice” event that promotes youth sports by introducing kids to hockey. The Village of West Haverstraw partnered with the Rangers to provide a free one hour program including instruction from NY Rangers alumni – and are planning more of these events in the future. With the Rangers collaboration, this rink could provide long lasting hockey opportunities for kids in the North Rockland community and beyond.

“Any way in which we can expand opportunities for our kids to get outside and play is a win for the entire community. I am so glad that I was able to secure this funding to revitalize the Peck’s Pond Roller Hockey Rink. I’d also like to thank Mayor D’Amelio and the Village for investing in this project, recognizing the importance of recreation not only for kids, but adults too. I look forward to our continued work together on projects that enrich the Village,” said Assemblyman Zebrowski.

“This grant allowed the Village to take on the re-surfacing and restoration project all at one time. The Village would not have been in a position to complete the project of this magnitude in one year and our youth and organizations would have suffered. We’d like to thank Assemblymember Zebrowski for his dedication to the youth and wellbeing of our community. The refurbishment couldn’t have come at a better time as it has allowed us to partner with the New York Rangers to offer street hockey programs in the future,” concluded Mayor D’Amelio.

Caitlin Clark Makes WNBA History With 45-Point Masterpiece, Joins Elite Company

Published

on

Caitlin Clark delivered one of the greatest individual performances in basketball history Friday night, pouring in a career-high 45 points to lead the Indiana Fever to a thrilling 110-107 victory over the Seattle Storm while rewriting the WNBA record books.

Clark didn’t just have a career night—she made history.

The Fever superstar added 10 assists, four steals and two blocks, becoming the first player in WNBA history to record a 40-point, 10-assist game. Her 45 points also set a new Indiana Fever franchise record.

The performance becomes even more remarkable considering Clark accomplished the feat while playing just 29 minutes as she continues to return from a back injury and was still on a managed minutes restriction. She shot 11-of-18 from the field, including 6-of-10 from three-point range, and sealed the win with a clutch late three-pointer and four free throws in the closing seconds.

Clark also became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 200 career three-pointers, accomplishing the milestone in just 74 games, breaking the previous record of 81 games.

Her historic stat line also places her alongside some of basketball’s biggest names. According to widely shared statistical research, Clark is one of only five players in NBA/WNBA history to record at least 45 points, 10 assists, four steals and two blocks in a single game. The others are Michael Jordan, Dwyane Wade, Luka Dončić, and Cade Cunningham.

For many basketball fans, Friday night’s performance was another reminder that Clark is already reshaping the WNBA record book just two seasons into her professional career. From becoming the league’s first player to post a 40-point, 10-assist game to reaching 200 three-pointers faster than anyone before her, the Fever guard continues to accomplish feats that place her among the sport’s all-time greats.
