Good News: "Macdonald battles back from cancer to lead RPI"

Kirk MacDonald has an excellent 2004-05 season playing for the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute hockey team. He was their leading scorer and put in their biggest goal of the season on national television.

MacDonald is back on the ice, working out with the team and preparing for the team's October 15 opener.
