After two years without a Whitefish Bay ice rink, local kids are flocking to Cahill Park to ice skate and play hockey with their friends.
If the sight of 20 kids playing hockey in the park isn't the scene of a Norman Rockwell painting, it should have been. That sight is now commonplace in Cahill Park, where on Thursday night, kids ages six through 13 slapped the puck around, while others enjoyed a more leisurely skate on the 100-by-200-foot ice rink.

A ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday morning to dedicate the park formerly known as Water Tower Park to Whitefish Bay native Craig Counsell, who retired from a 19-year major league baseball career last year.

Counsell will be at the ceremony and will help Village President Julie Siegel unveil a new park sign. The Village Board unanimously voted to rename the park Craig Counsell Park after a suggestion was made by a village resident. Whitefish Bay Little League President Josh Levy will also dedicate a new flag pole in honor of Tom Rice, a …
