Friends and families along with members of GAHA, the Batavia Men’s Hockey League, the Batavia United High School team, ice rink users and supporters of the David McCarthy Memorial Foundation as well as City of Batavia governing personnel were on hand at 22 Evans street on Friday night for the dedication and unveiling of the new sign at the newly named David McCarthy Memorial Ice Arena.
The David M. McCarthy Memorial Foundation was formed in 2007 in honor of David McCarthy, who died after a motor vehicle accident in November 2006 at the age of 29. After the foundation was approached by David’s close friend Guy Pellegrino over a year ago about naming the rink after David, the completed sign was officially dedicated on Friday night.
