Its been nearly 3 months since the last puck hit the ice at the Nassau Coliseum, yet in the second week of July Islanders hockey news is still abundantly present.
This Tuesday begins a week of Islander related events starting with the vote on the completeness of the Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement that was submitted by the Lighthouse Group. The vote will mark a major milestone towards the completion of the Lighthouse project, which was stalled due to ongoing political rhetoric between developers, town and county government. But following a successful meeting between Charles Wang, Tom Suozzi, and Kate Murray in which they agreed to work together to expedite approvals for the project. All readers are encouraged to attend this important meet to help preserve Long Island’s future and Islanders hockey. Following Tuesdays Lighthouse festivities,
Wednesday will feature Tavares Fest part 2 at the Nassau Coliseum. The Islanders organization will be holding a press conference to formally introduce John Tavares as an Islander and will probably hand him his number 91 Vintage blue Islanders jersey that he will be wearing for the 2009-2010 season. The event is open to the public and should have a healthy turn out of fans and an even healthier turn out of New York and Canadian media, a turn out that hasn’t been seen since the Islanders acquired Ryan Smyth at the trade deadline back in 2007. Unfortunately due to work I will not be able to attend the press conference, but hope to have someone their to give a first hand account of this installment of Tavares Fest.This Thursday marks the beginning of Islanders Prospect camp at Islanders Ice Works, but this years camp will not be open to the public except for Sunday July 12th.
The decision to only open one day off camp to fans has confused and upset some fans who were looking forward to attending camp to see prospects who will be in the Islanders system (most just wanna see Tavares though). So with Sunday being the only open day expect it to be packed to capacity as even the Islanders are warning fans to come early. The doors open at 10:45 AM and admission is a first-come, first-serve basis. Along with the prospects on the ice, the Islanders are making this a big event sending over the I.C.E Tour, Sparky and the Ice Girls something which wasn’t featured at last years prospect camp. Islanders Crazy will be on hand for what should be a fun filled day to see first hand the newest members of the Islanders organization. Even though hockey season is over, the Islanders have managed to keep their name in the paper and this week should be the same as a plethora of Islanders news will be made this week.
