NEW YORK -- Former New York Rangers goaltender Mike Richter will do the honors of cutting the ribbon at the grand opening ceremonies of Last Licks ice cream store Saturday at noon at the brand new location at 104 South Ridge St. in Rye Brook. Richter and Last Licks' executive vice president Steve Costello will announce Richter's brand new ice cream flavor, "Ricky Road." Richter, who led the Rangers to the Stanley Cup title in 1994, will be joined by Steve Costello, family, friends and dignitaries at the 1 p.m. ribbon-cutting ceremonies.
