New York Islanders Daily: Honoring Jiggs McDonald For 50 Years

Unfortunately for Jiggs McDonald he didn’t get to call a great game last night. But, the main story from last nights loss was the honoring of McDonald, and the legend that he is in the broadcasting and hockey world.

Neil Best of Newsday had a great opinion piece on McDonald. He talks about how McDonald broke into the broadcasting business at 27 years old which is impressive in itself.

“He’s part of the family. He’ll always be part of the family . . . I think the fans connect with him. Let’s face it: When Jiggs is doing the game, don’t we all feel a lot younger?
