Isles Puppy with a Purpose 5.0 Named 'Butchie'

Drumroll paw-lease… the puppy’s name is in and it’s quite fetching.

The new Isles Puppy with a Purpose will be named Butchie, as voted on by New York Islanders fans, in partnership with the Guide Dog Foundation.

The name is an ode to legendary Islanders forward, four-time Stanley Cup Champion and current MSG Networks color commentator Butch Goring. They will be best pals, as long as Goring keeps a few bones in the toy department.

The future guide dog Butchie is three months old and will embark on a 14–18-month training program before being matched with someone who is blind or has low vision.

The adorable yellow lab will make frequent appearances at UBS Arena this season! Follow along on social media and keep an eye out for the team’s puppy calendar that will be released at a later date.
