With five games to go in the 2023-24 regular season, the Rangers played host to the Montreal Canadiens but before puck drop, our attention was brought to ice level as public address announcer Joe Tolleson welcomed the McDonald Family back to the Garden ice to announce the annual recipient of the Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award. Always a touching moment as the award is now presented by Steven’s son Connor, as the Rangers take to reflecting on the legacy of Steven McDonald. An always touching ceremony as this year’s honors would go to a well-deserving Vincent Trocheck.
Giving the extra effort – every shift, every game.
