The Islanders and Rangers are about to meet for the 338th time, but the story of the night at UBS Arena will happen right before puck drop. Floral Park’s Dominick Critelli, a 104-year-old World War II veteran, will perform the national anthem on his saxophone. Critelli was knighted and awarded the French Legion of Honor, France’s highest military honor, by the French President for his courage and devotion in liberating France during World War II. He attended a ceremony that was also attended by former U.S. President Joe Biden. To read more about Critelli and his life, click the link in bio. - #longisland #veteran #islanders #rangers #hockey
