June 7, 2017 – Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino congratulated the Pelham Memorial High School hockey team who won the New York State Division II championship in March.

“To win the state finals is always an amazing feat,” said Astorino. “To go 25-1 and bring home the first championship ever? It doesn’t get much sweeter than that. These guys should be very proud of themselves.”
The team was escorted by Head Coach Ed Witz and his staff, as well as Athletic Director Stephen Luciana.
The Superintendent of Pelham Schools is Dr. Peter Giarrizzo, and the Principal of Pelham Memorial High School is Jeannine Clark.
