Chris Kreider opens up about his mental health issues
New York Rangers fans were given a heartfelt revelation recently when veteran left winger Chris Kreider shared that he struggles with anxiety. Hockey players are supposed to be tough. They're supposed to play through anything and everything. But there's sometimes stuff you can't necessarily see, stuff that's not physical. I've personally dealt with anxiety, and it's a common thing. When you're in it, you feel like you're on an island, going up and down. I don't think it was until the last few years where I realized how many people are experiencing it or have experienced it.

Gilded Age Summer Rowing Parties on the Tappan Zee
To escape New York’s hot, steamy summer evenings in the Gilded Age, villagers enjoyed evening barge parties on the Hudson River hosted by the Nyack Rowing Association (N.R.A.) founded in 1880. Built like a large, flat, floating platform with seats for rowers, barges moved like a boat but without the “tippy” feel of a standard rowboat. The club stored their barges on the first floor of their magnificent clubhouse built on a dock at the foot of Spear Street. Designed in a luscious Queen Ann style, many thought it the finest rowing clubhouse of its day. It became one of the most visible features of Nyack for those approaching the village by boat.
