Marc Rovner is an award-winning attorney who manages the legal department for BETA Abstract. Outside of his duties as an attorney, East Rockaway, New York, native Marc Rovner is a New York Rangers season ticket holder. The National Hockey League (NHL) team recently paid tribute to lifetime fan and New York hero Steven McDonald, who, at 59 years old, died from a heart attack on January 10. McDonald, a former police officer, was shot 30 years ago while on patrol in Central Park. The resulting gunshot wound left him paralyzed, but he remained on the force and in 1995 was promoted to detective. Former and current Rangers players expressed sympathy on social media, while the team planned an extensive ceremony in his honor prior to its game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on January 13. During the pre-game skate, every Rangers player wore on his jersey the number 104, which was McDonald's badge number. McDonald will continue to be remembered by the Rangers through the Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award, which is given annually to the player who best exemplifies McDonald's fighting spirit.
