Kyle's fandom started on a business trip to Pittsburgh in 2014, when he found the time to take in a Penguins game against the Rangers.
"I went by myself, fell in love with the Penguins, my first hockey game ever," he said. "Then went to see them against the Canadiens, and I'm here again."
The Penguins' 3-1 win over the Senators was Donald's first win live in three tries, and it won't be the last as hockey has become a big part of life for the Aberdeen native.
"It wasn't until I could see my first Pens game in 2014," Donald said. "I played a lot of soccer, but now hockey has taken over from soccer. It's great. Interest has peaked. I've now got subscriptions to hockey channels, buying more gear. Hopefully one day If I have kids, my kids will play hockey."
One of the biggest challenges of being a fan overseas is watching games, especially when there are time zone differences involved. Scotland is five hours ahead of Pittsburgh, but Donald has continued to find a way to stay informed on how his Penguins team is performing.
"I record the games," Donald said. "They're on quite late, midnight or 1 a.m., so I record them and watch them the next day or a couple days later."
However, with the Penguins' recent playoff success, Donald has made sure to watch the games live when they matter most.
"When they won the Stanley Cup in 2016, I stayed up all night, until 5 a.m. watching (Game 5 against San Jose)," he said. "They didn't win it in that game, but then I watched it again and they finally won it. That was probably my favorite moment, just sitting there watching the 2016 Stanley Cup win, thinking I'd never see it. Then back in 2017, they did it again, so I've seen two Stanley Cups."
Donald's enthusiasm for the game has been infectious to some of his friends as well, who are also learning to love the sport of hockey.
"We actually had a little bit of a party," Donald said. "Myself and two other guys, and now a couple of my other fans are hockey fans as well. It's pretty exciting."
The sport of hockey has led to him having a new favorite city across the pond, too.
"Coming into the city, the bridges, you come through the tunnel and see the whole city, the three rivers, it's awesome," Donald said.
"And…" Donald paused. "Penguins hockey, it's awesome."
