As you know and as we reported, the New York Islanders took advantage of the visit of the Montreal Canadiens tonight to pay a well-deserved tribute to their former number 22, the great Mike Bossy.
They did a pre-game ceremony, but there were also several other nice nods to Bossy throughout the evening.
Bossy played 10 seasons with the Islanders and was certainly one of the most popular athletes of his generation, as well as a great person.
Notably, proceeds from the 50/50 from tonight's game in New York will go to the Mike Bossy Memorial Fund.
