In late November, the ice rink was officially opened with a ceremony attended by more than 100 guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe started this foundation back in 2015,\u201d Mr. Albert said at the rink\u2019s groundbreaking back in April. \u201cIn the winter months, there\u2019s no skiing, there\u2019s not much sledding, and it\u2019s tough to keep ice frozen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Albert said that when his son began playing hockey in 2015, no ice rink was available for kids on the North Fork, so he and his wife came up with a plan to build one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight years later, that rink opened for business in November. The crowded ceremony featured local political leaders, and former Islanders, including Ed Westfall, for whom the new ice rink was named.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The co-owner of the Islanders was there, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCaryn and Troy worked for years to raise the funding and the Islanders Children\u2019s Foundation was a major contributor,\u201d Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky said in an interview with the News-Review. \u201cWe\u2019re so thrilled that our ticketholders and our sponsors have given us this incredible recreational outlet. Physical education is an important building block for our children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, officials said, there were only three indoor hockey rinks in all of Suffolk County. The Calverton rink is the fourth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hockey players and their parents from both forks will no longer have to travel all the way to rinks in Hauppauge, Dix Hills or Kings Park to play and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The foundation donated the rink to Riverhead, which in turn granted the operating and management rights back to Peconic Hockey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey have gifted the Town of Riverhead a $2.5 million ice rink and dome,\u201d said Riverhead Town Councilman Ken Rothwell. \u201cThey were able to manage and pull together countless volunteers \u2014 from businesses to parents of children who play hockey \u2014 and bring everyone together and participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople volunteered time for painting and cleaning and moving soil and helping out in all different capacities. It was a vision by many, but it was started by Troy and Caryn Albert.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Previous Winners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>2022: <a href=\"https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\/2023\/01\/114232\/2022-sports-person-of-the-year-bob-finan\/\">Bob Finan<\/a><br>2021:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\/2022\/01\/108692\/2021-sports-person-of-the-year-the-riverhead-athlete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Riverhead Athlete<\/a><br>2020: No winner chosen due to COVID-19 pandemic<br>2019:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\/2020\/01\/97477\/2019-sportsperson-of-the-year-ethan-greenidge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ethan Greenidge<\/a><br>2018:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\/2019\/03\/91338\/2018-sportsperson-year-pat-kelly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pat Kelly<\/a><br>2017:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\/2018\/01\/85045\/2017-sportsperson-of-the-year-bill-hedges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bill Hedges<\/a><br>2016:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\/2017\/03\/78525\/2016-sports-people-of-the-year-paul-koretzki-and-bob-szymanski\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paul Koretzki and Bob Szymanski<\/a><br>2015:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\/2016\/01\/70866\/2015-sports-person-of-the-year-james-suarez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">James Suarez<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Riverhead News-Review\u2019s 2023 Sports People of the Year weren\u2019t playing the sport themselves, but rather were making it possible for many others to play a sport they might otherwise not be able to play on the North Fork.
