Calgary Herald writer Eric Duhatschek said McDonald learned of it through Vancouver Canucks PR rep Steve Tambellini.
&#8220;I&#8217;m a little embarrassed by it all. It caught me off guard. It&#8217;s something you always dream of happening. I don&#8217;t know what else to say. It&#8217;s a real honor.&#8221;
McDonald finished his career with 1111 regular-season games played scoring 1006 points. His final season was in 1989, when he won his first and only championship.
