Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award

Presented by Northwell

Together, we celebrate the life of a hero, Detective Steven McDonald.

The Steven McDonald Award presented by Northwell for the 12th year, is awarded annually to the Ranger who, as chosen by the fans, "goes above and beyond the call of duty."

The award, which has been given out since the 1987-88 season, bears the name of New York City Detective Steven McDonald, who was shot and injured in the line of duty on July 12, 1986 and passed away on January 10, 2017.

Every time you talk about this wonderful family and the award, it brings me back 13 years (when he won the first time), because it was my rookie year, the first time I met the family and got an understanding of the impact they had in this community. I got to know them over the years, (they're) very nice people and obviously it's a huge honor to receieve the award. - retired Ranger Henrik Lundqvist: Winner in 2005-06 & 2017-18
