After spending some time on the concourse, QuackerJack joined fans in the seating bowl and helped assist the Ice Girls with between-period promotions. Finally, QJ showed off some of his dance moves on the JumboTron as ‘YMCA’ played throughout the arena. All of the fans at Nassau Coliseum had a blast on Mascot Day with the mascot voted the “Best of Long Island.”
