NHL GREATS PARTICIPATE IN MACY'S THANKSGIVING PARADE
Recent Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Eric Lindros and former Rangers great Adam Graves were aboard the Discover NHL "Frozen Fall Fun" float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York on Thursday.
The 36-foot long by 20-foot wide float featured a synthetic ice rink with children skating, a 12-foot tall turkey that served as a goal and an assortment of colorful fall décor. Singer Daya also delighted the crowd and even signed some hockey sticks for a few lucky fans.
