One of the key components to fight what Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas described as a “heroin crisis” on Long Island is awareness of the issue.
So, her office reaching out to the Islanders for help resulted in fan favorite Matt Martin recording a public service announcement currently airing on the MSG Networks as well as on WRHU, which broadcasts the team’s games.
“The Islanders organization is taking this very seriously,” Singas said before Tuesday night’s game against the Hurricanes at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum.
Singas brought approximately 12 Nassau County middle- and high-schoolers to the game, with the Islanders providing the tickets as she works on her three-prong approach to fighting the heroin problem in the area.
