“I am thrilled to be joining the MSG family at such an exciting time for the network and the Islanders,” said Shannon Hogan. “It will be fantastic working with a franchise rich in tradition and a young team on the rise. During my four years with Fox Sports Detroit, I had the pleasure of working with some of the best managers, coaches, players and analysts in the business. My experience with the Islanders and MSG will add many more people to that list. Interacting with Detroit's passionate fans was a pleasure and I'm looking forward to a great relationship with the Islanders fans. I can't wait for my adventure in New York to begin!”
