Hundreds of people celebrated in Suffern to cheer on the state championship hockey team. &nbsp;

The village held a parade Wednesday night to support the Mounties after the team&nbsp;won the state title Sunday In Buffalo&nbsp;against West Genesee.&nbsp;

It’s a special win for so many reasons, including&nbsp;senior Whill Thyberg, who fought a combination of COVID and mono for about a month. He still made it this past weekend to finals.&nbsp;

&nbsp;"It felt great to be able to end my senior year on such a high note when I thought I was not going to be able to get back on the ice," says Thyberg.&nbsp;

Thyberg says he’s still building back strength, but he just tried out for baseball - and he’ll be playing hockey for St. Thomas Aquinas in the fall.&nbsp;

HVFORECAST

Looking day out there. But it's definitely better today than it is tomorrow and we even have a few peaks of sun. Possible. We are kind of wedged in between two air masses. We have a really humid setup in between, but there is a little bit of dry air higher up in the atmosphere that could bring some breaks in the clouds. I think that the model guidance is kind of overdo the sunshine, but I wanted to show you his bigger picture view because you can now see that next storm system coming our direction. So probably seeing more clouds and fog by about 1011 o'clock tonight, the latest and then by Sunday morning, even if you're an early riser, you're waking up to light rain and persistent rain and it's just going to continue all morning on Sunday, all afternoon. It's a gross feel. Now, the good news is most of this rain is light so that kind of limits the severe aspect to it. But you know, these roads could be a little bit slick because of just the amount of rain, just the duration of it just really lasting all day. There are improvements for Monday morning, we're seeing peaks of sunshine early in the day, but then things cloud over Monday afternoon, we have a northwest wind that's gonna come in and cool us down. So here are your temperatures this afternoon? We're in the mid ff as we close off the evening. How about near 50 again? It's gonna feel a little chillier because we start to introduce rain into the forecast. You're low tonight in Kingston is 40 it's 47 in Yonkers, so not a huge spread and we don't warm up much on Sunday. You're only 45 in Kingston now, that's pretty close to average, but you factor in the rain and it feels so much chillier. Westchester County, maybe parts of Rock County, you could hit 50 tomorrow. But again, this is coming with a guarantee that it is gonna rain. Now, there could be a few dry breaks, but most of the day is gonna be wet and then for the work week, we dry out. So, you know, good timing. If you have plans for the work week, 50 on Monday might be a little optimistic because we do vet northwest breeze in the afternoon. I am expecting a majority of the day to be in the forties and then we are stuck in the low forties for Wednesday for Thursday. The first night of Hanukkah looks very cold and so does Wednesday night at 26. That's gonna be pretty chilly next weekend we rebound, close to average, but we're tracking a chance for some precipitation. So we'll keep an eye on it for you. You're watching News? 12.

alright. Some positive news now. Hundreds gathering and suffered to cheer on the state championship hockey team tonight. But there is a lot more to celebrate than just a trophy news. Twelve's veronica jean's house. The drama in Rockland County where the team plays VJ See those two blue banners 92 and 2012 we'll soon there is going to be another banner hanging from up there. This suffering team is inspiring a whole new generation of skaters but it's taken a lot more than just hard. Nice to get here. Especially for one senior. It was a parade just like this one that sparked a dream for Will Freiburg. Absolutely. He was seven in 2012 when sufferings last hockey state champs paraded around town. All those guys on the fire trucks and just like, wow, I want to do that now. He's that guy on the fire truck but he almost wasn't a struggle getting out of the hospital. New Year's Day. He felt weak like he was getting a cold. He tested positive for Covid. He thought with all his shots, he'd be over it in days. Instead, he ended up in the ICU with Covid mono and breathing so difficult. Doctors talked about intubating him to have your son in ICU. It's out of your hands. It was terrifying. He couldn't swallow, couldn't breathe. One doctor told Wiberg's mom Shannon, it was the worst case of mono she'd ever seen. But at the end of January, almost £35 lighter. He went home. We definitely thought that was it. That Will was gonna be done for the season. He wasn't weeks later, he got clearance to get back out on the ice and this past weekend, only about two months after leaving the hospital, he's a state champion. There's no way that we ever thought that that would happen. But it did. And now he's the one hoping he'll inspire some other kid to keep playing great story. Never been part of a champion. So VJ, you said fiber is a senior, what's next for him? He's still getting his full strength back but he says he's signed on already next year to play at ST thomas Aquinas as a hockey player. He also says his team has just been amazing through this whole thing there for his family, for him. With lots of texts and lots of good food to help him kind of get that strength back and do some healing. His coach describes him as the ultimate teammate. So it only makes sense that now his team was there for him. Veronica jean seltzer News 12. That is great news to look forward to seeing the ice inspirational. Alright, thanks veejay tomorrow ST Patrick's day in case
