"If the Islanders want to engage in the public debate of taking this life, they need to stop playing hockey and run for office."
The NY Islanders hosted a fundraiser during their season finale to support recently convicted NYPD Sergeant Erik Duran, who was found guilty of manslaughter. Duran's actions led to the death of Eric Duprey. The Islanders donated part of their 50/50 raffle proceeds to Duran's legal defense, which sparked outrage among fans and advocates. While some, like the Sergeants Benevolent Association, supported the Islanders' actions, others, including Duprey's family and civil rights activists, expressed deep concern over the organization's alignment with Duran's defense efforts.
