Hundreds gathered at the St. John of God Roller Hockey rink in Central Islip Saturday to celebrate the life of Billy Moon, an FDNY firefighter from Islip who died of head injuries sustained in a 20-foot fall at his Brooklyn firehouse Dec. 12. The presence of Moon, a volunteer coach in the league, could be felt in every corner of the rink during a day of hockey in his honor, from his name on the scoreboard to his last name and favorite number, 88, on the back of each jersey. Proceeds from the event will benefit the late firefighter's family.
