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

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.

A Super Bowl Champion Brings His Experience to Tappan Zee High School

The Tappan Zee High School football team got a special visitor at practice when former New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw stopped by to spend time with the players and coaches.

For the young athletes, it was more than a visit from a former NFL player. Bradshaw is a two-time Super Bowl champion who helped the Giants capture Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI.

Bradshaw’s presence gave players an opportunity to meet someone who experienced the highs and challenges of playing football at the highest level. His journey from high school football to the NFL serves as a reminder that hard work, preparation and perseverance can open doors far beyond the football field.

During his career with the Giants, Bradshaw became known for his tough, physical running style and ability to make big plays. He played an important role on two championship teams and remains a familiar and respected figure among Giants fans.

For Tappan Zee’s players, however, the most meaningful part of the visit may have been the chance to hear from someone who has been where they hope to go.

High school football is about much more than Friday-night games. It is about learning how to work together, overcoming adversity and developing the discipline that can carry young people into whatever comes next.

Having a two-time Super Bowl champion walk onto the practice field brought those lessons to life.

For the Tappan Zee football family, Bradshaw’s visit was a memorable reminder that the football community stretches well beyond the lines of the field—and that sometimes, a little inspiration from a champion can make a lasting impression.
