Islanders Fans Raise Nearly $6K To Buy Billboards Calling For Snow’s Firing

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Disgruntled Islanders fans are rallying together in an effort to have general manager Garth Snow fired.

Fans launched a GoFundMe page Wednesday aimed at purchasing a billboard on Flatbush and Sixth avenues in Brooklyn, near the Barclays Center, that would read “Snow Must Go.”

The campaign reached its goal of $2,700 within 90 minutes, and as of Thursday, donations were still pouring in, so the organizers are now planning a second billboard about a mile south of Barclays on Atlantic Avenue.

“It’s time to send a clear message to Islanders owners Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin,” the GoFundMe page reads.
