ISLANDERS COMMUNITY
RELATIONS MISSION
The New York Islanders strive to make a difference on Long Island, serving as the liaison between the team
and the community through a variety of outreach programs designed to develop a strong presence in our area.
The education of our youth, the development of hockey on Long Island, and bringing awareness and support to
many different health issues facing children are all supported by our programming.
The accomplishments of the Islanders off the ice are the result of a dedicated group of individuals including
ownership, management, players and their families, front office staff and the generous contributions of our
loyal fans and supportive team sponsors.
The New York Islanders are proud to be a part of the Long Island community and will continue to work diligently
to touch the lives of those around us by implementing programs, special events and fan development initiatives.
ISLANDERS CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION
HISTORY & MISSION
T
he Islanders Children’s Foundation is a New York State not-for-profit foundation, qualified under Section 501 (c) (3) of the
Internal Revenue Code and qualified as a public charity. Since its inception in 2003, the Islanders Children’s Foundation
has raised more than $5 million to help countless children on Long Island and around the world.
Mission
The Islanders Children’s Foundation is dedicated to supporting
Long Island based non-profit organizations that provide
opportunities to children. The Foundation also works on a
variety of in-house youth programming. The Foundation will

4 I COMMUNITY IN REVIEW
fundraisers during Islanders games provide additional
donations for the ICF. These fundraisers include the 50/50
raffle, Chuck-A-Puck, Jerseys off the Back, St. Patrick’s Day
Jersey Auction, Valentine’s Day Puck Surprise, Holiday Grab
Bag and Pink Stick Auction, among many others.
The Islanders are true believers in the youth that surround us
everyday. Our team believes that every child only needs the
right opportunities to help them become successful in life.
We also see the hardships that surround many families on
Long Island, whether a loved one is suffering from illness or
the economy has taken a toll on them; these people require
support from everyone in the community to make Long Island
a better place and the Islanders want to help lead those efforts.
The Islanders Children’s Foundation works with other charities
and funds a variety of in-house youth programs. The Islanders@
School Program, Holiday Hospital Visits and Toy Shopping Event,
“Bossy’s Bunch” Charity Ticket Program, Amateur Youth Hockey
Development Program and Islanders Fight Cancer were all created
to benefit the youth of Long Island.
It’s more about the kids. Helping out
the kids is all that really matters at
the end of the day.
Matt Martin, Forward

Holiday Hospital Visits & Toy Shopping Event
The annual Islanders Holiday Hospital Visits have become a long-standing tradition for the organization. On this day,
all Islanders players visit children who are receiving treatment at various Long Island hospitals. During these visits, the
players provide each child with toys that were personally picked out by members of the team at their annual toy shopping
event the week prior. This past season, Emblem Health sponsored the events, contributing funds to the Islanders
Children’s Foundation for the program.
Hospitals that we visited:
Cohen’s Children’s Medical Center
Good Samaritan Hospital
Henry Viscardi School: The National Center for Disabilities
Nassau University Medical Center
St. Mary’s Children’s Hospital
Stony Brook University Hospital
Winthrop University Hospital: Cancer Center for Kids
There were a lot of interesting kids out
there with some wild imaginations and
they were real fun to talk to. It’s great to
put a smile on their faces.

ISLANDERS @ SCHOOL
Islanders@School
The Islanders visited more than 50 schools throughout the 2011-12 season
The Islanders @School program brings the game of hockey to
elementary school classrooms, allowing teachers to educate students
with a creative approach while working under the New York State
Curriculum. The @School program incorporates fun-filled lesson plans
and special assembly programs, including Islanders School Day and
the “We’re All Islanders and We’re All Committed” school assembly.
These events teach students the importance of teamwork, staying
healthy, a good education and hard work. New to the @School program
during the 2011-12 season were online lesson plans for Science and
Health Studies. More than 95,000 children participated in the @School
program this past season.

Islanders School Day is a one-day assembly in which the entire New York Islanders team visits Long Island elementary
schools to speak with students about the importance of education, staying active, eating healthy and making smart
decisions in life. The organization believes it is important to show children across Long Island that these are the most
fundamental building blocks in life. This assembly allows students to learn these vital life lessons from professional
athletes. This past season the Islanders School Day assembly was run as a ticket fundraiser contest for schools.

Blades for Grades
The Blades for Grades Program rewards students for working hard in school and receiving good grades. Students applying
for the program must show that they have received an “A” or moved up a letter grade in a subject in order to earn two
complimentary tickets to an Islanders game. During the 2011-2012 season, more than 2,000 students participated in the program.
It’s a real honor to get to go out and have
that kind of reception from kids and
teachers. It was a really enjoyable thing
we get to do as professional athletes.
Rick DiPietro, Goalie
The assembly was amazing. The players
were so personable. They shared great
stories. It was a terrific job.

PLAYER PROGRAMS
G
iving back to the community has always been an integral part of the Islanders commitment to Long
Island. The 2011-12 season was no different. Several players took part in or created their own charitable
programs to help benefit the Island’s various communities. From ill and underprivileged children to military
veterans, the players showed their compassion, dedication and commitment in numerous ways this past season.
Michael Grabner & Kyle Okposo’s Charity Goal Program
Islanders forwards Michael Grabner and Kyle Okposo combined
their scoring efforts during the 2011-2012 season and created
their own charity goal program. For each goal that both Okposo
and Grabner scored during the season, each player donated $300.
The Austrian-American connection combined for 44 goals and a
total donation of over $26,000 to the Islanders Children’s Foundation.
I thought it was time I did a little something more right here on Long
Island and that’s what we came up with. The ICF is a great charity and
does great work, so hopefully we can finish this year strong and help them
out a bit and we’ll do it again next year.
Kyle Okposo, Forward
13
Bailey’s Buddies Program
Islanders forward Josh Bailey kicked off the second season of his Bailey’s Buddies program at the start of the 2011-12
season. At each home game, Bailey hosted a child recovering from illness or an underprivileged child for a once-in-alifetime, VIP experience. During the game, Bailey’s Buddy sits near the Islanders on-ice entrance, high-fives the players
as they walk onto the ice, receives an Islanders gift bag with a Bailey t-shirt and meets Josh after the game. Bailey signs
autographs, takes pictures and sometimes tours the locker room with his Buddy.
They get to see a lot of the guys, get some autographs and kind of get the whole
post-game experience. I think they really enjoy it. Whether we win or lose, it’s
very nice. They tend to brighten you up after a game. As much as they enjoy it, I
take a lot out of it, too.
Josh Bailey, Forward
We are grateful to the Islanders for taking
the time, not just for my family, but for the
hundreds of families that have to endure
this horrible disease.
Lennie Blades, father of a Bailey’s Buddy
15
Matt Moulson’s Charity Goal Program
We really wanted to help the organization
because it’s something very important,
especially with the people who serve the
country and serve all of us.
Islanders forward Matt Moulson continued his charity goal program for the second consecutive season. Through
Moulson’s 326 Foundation, a donation was made on his behalf to the Islanders Children’s Foundation. With a third
consecutive 30-goal season, Moulson donated over $17,000 to the ICF.
Matt Moulson’s Wounded Warrior Program
Moulson created a special partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project during the 2011-2012 season. For each home
game during the season, the Islanders winger hosted a “Wounded Warrior” and family member. The veteran was treated
to a VIP experience, recognized on the scoreboard during the game and also met Moulson following the game.
This was five million times better than I thought. Here I am 41-years old and I
feel like I’m 10 again. I’ve got goosebumps everywhere.
Moulson Wounded Warrior, 1st Sgt. John Camacho
17
John Tavares Charity Ticket Program
Islanders forward John Tavares started his own charity program at the beginning of the 2011-2012 season. At every
home game, Tavares hosted an underprivileged child or one recovering from illness for a unique, once-in-a-lifetime, VIP
experience. During the game, JT’s special guest sits behind the player bench, high-fives the players as they step onto
the ice, receives an Islanders gift and meets John after the game. John signs autographs for and takes pictures with all
of his guests.
It’s great to spend some time with the kids, see them smile and bring up their
spirits a bit. And to see the joy on their faces, that’s the best part.

John Tavares, All-Star Forward
Thank you very much for the wonderful
night, Mr. Tavares. I had such a great
time at the game and meeting you was
something I’ll always remember.
One of John Tavares’ Special Guests
19
Matt Martin’s Defending the Blue Line Program
Islanders forward Matt Martin started a partnership with Defending the Blue Line for the 2011-2012 season. For each
home game during the season, the Islanders forward hosted a veteran and one of their family members from Defending
the Blue Line. Following each game, Matt takes the time to meet his guests, sign autographs, get to know them and take
them around the locker room area.
Mr. Martin was so nice and pleasant to talk to. He signed a ton of autographs
for us. As we were walking out to the parking lot, Mr. Martin ran up the stairs
and gave my son his game hockey stick. It was an honor meeting him and he
brightened the life of a little boy who misses his father dearly.
T., parent
Melissa
and participant
I wanted to do something charity-wise.
These people sacrifice their lives for us and
scarifice their lives for our freedom so this
was a great fit. You hear some of the things
they’ve gone through and you appreciate
so much what they do.

FOUNDATION EVENTS
E
ach season, the Islanders hold a number of major events to help raise substantial monetary donations
for the ICF. The 2011-12 season saw the team continue fan favorite events such as its annual Golf
Outing and Islanders Day at Adventureland, while launching its first-ever Casino Night. These events
allowed fans to meet and spend time with members of the team off the ice, while contributing important
donations to the Children’s Foundation.
It’s great to see all the fans at these events because we’re helping a very
good cause in the Children’s Foundation. It’s really nice that they continue to
come support us here and at our games.
Josh Bailey, Forward
As hockey players, we are really fortunate.
Our profession is our hobby. So it’s great
to give back because the kids are our
future. This is a great thing.
Mark Streit, Captain
23
Annual Golf Outing
The annual ICF Golf Outing gives fans the opportunity to spend the day with some of their favorite Islanders, past and
present. Players, coaches and alumni hit the links with foursomes of fans at a prestigious Long Island golf course prior
to the start of training camp every September. Bethpage Red has hosted this fundraising event for the past two seasons
and helped the Islanders raise more than $80,000 at the 2011-2012 season outing.
Golf is a great social game. It’s a locker room atmosphere and something
I’m used to. I’m excited about being here.
Doug Weight, Senior Advisor to the General Manager and Assistant Coach
For us to come out here, it’s a beautiful
day, not only to meet people but for the
great cause as well. I’m getting a great
opportunity as people come by to talk to
them. The dialogue has been real good
between myself and the golfers coming
through. They seem to really be enjoying
themselves.
Jack Capuano, Head Coach
25
ANNUAL DAY AT ADVENTURELAND
ICF Day at Adventureland brings the entire Islanders roster up close and personal to the fans on the weekend before the
regular season begins. Players sit at autograph tables throughout the park, take pictures, speak with fans and hop on
select rides with kids in the crowd. Fans that attend the event have complete access to Adventureland Amusement Park
for the entire day. The team raised more than $15,000 at the 2011-12 ICF Day event.
Not only are the players excited for the season, but the fans are as well. It’s
important to show the fans how much they mean to us. So it’s good to meet our
fans and give them an opportunity to meet the players. It’s great to see all the
Islanders jerseys and the t-shirts. You can feel the excitemet.
Today is going great. It’s exciting to
be here. It’s great to see the fans that
support us all year long.
Nino Niederreiter, Forward
Mark Streit, Captain

CAsino Night
This is a great event. To see all the
fans come out and support us and the
Children’s Foundation is really special
and it means a lot to us all.
John Tavares, Forward
The Islanders held their first-ever Casino Night on February 1, 2012. Islanders fans had a chance to try their luck at
popular casino games like Blackjack, Poker and Roulette, while mingling with members of the Islanders. This fun-filled
evening featured games, auctions and other great prizes in addition to the casino. The ICF raised more than $120,000
at the inaugural event.
I had a great time with everyone. These fans are wonderful and it’s just real
fun talking to them and playing the games with them.
Nino Niederreiter, Forward
29
Winter Wear Wonderland
The Islanders held an exclusive third jersey launch party inside the brand new Islanders Team Store at the beginning
of their 2011-2012 season. Special VIP’s that attended were treated to a fashion show by Islanders players and their
families, after which they met players in attendance. All funding from this event went directly to the Islanders Children’s
Foundation.
If you couldn’t tell, (modeling) came pretty nautral to me. My wife was a little
shy. I don’t think she has a future in it. She’s pretty, but I don’t think she’s got
the runway personality. I might take the cake in our relationship on that one.
The kids were absolutely adorable. It was a
real family event. There were so many kids
here at the event so it’s nice the players
brought their kids along also.

ISLANDERS FIGHT CANCER
Pink Stick Auction
Islanders Fight Cancer Wall
NHL Hockey Fights Cancer Grant
Fans can visit newyorkislanders.com to bid on their favorite
Islanders game-used sticks. Each stick is wrapped in Breast
Cancer Awareness hockey tape and personally given to the highest
bidders after a selected game. The team raised more than $7,000
through the Pink Stick Auction last season.
For a small donation, fans can place their names on speciallydesigned pieces of paper that are posted on the Coliseum walls,
creating a collage of support for cancer awareness as it also helps
contribute funding. More than 950 people added their names to the
Islanders Fight Cancer Wall last year.
Each season the NHL provides every team in the league with
a grant to support local cancer organizations in their market.
During the 2011-2012 season, the Islanders donated $5,000 to
the Hematology and Oncology Department at Cohen’s Children’s
Medical Center thanks to this grant from the NHL.
Stick Kids
Cotton Candy Fundraiser
Movember
Throughout the course of the month, select Long Island children
recovering from or undergoing treatment for cancer are chosen to
attend an Islanders game and sit on the team bench during warmups. Children undergoing treatment at the following locations
have been invited to participate:
Cotton Candy is a fan favorite at Nassau Coliseum. During HFC
Month, one dollar from every pink cotton candy sold went toward
the Islanders Fight Cancer initiative. This past season, the pink
treats raised over $1,800 to help fight cancer.
More than half of the Islanders joined the Movember movement
and grew a mustache during the month of November in an effort
to raise funding and awareness for Prostate Cancer and other
men’s health issues. The Islanders team, led by star winger Matt
Moulson, raised more than $10,000 in an effort to eliminate these
terrible diseases.

center ice bulls-eye during intermission. Just like the 50/50 Raffle,
the winning fan receives a portion of the funds generated, with
the other portion benefiting the ICF. Last year, the ICF raised over
$140,000 with more than half going to local charities on Long Island.
Scoreboard Messages
This is for fans who are interested in sending a special message
to someone they care about. With a small donation to the ICF, fans
can send birthday, anniversary and other special messages to their
family and friends during games. Their special messages are then
featured on the center ice scoreboard.

Love for Lokomotiv
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
On September 7, 2011, 44 lives were lost in the greatest tragedy in professional hockey history. A plane carrying crew
members, hockey personnel, coaches and players of the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv hockey team crashed, breaking the hearts of
their loved ones both near and far. Many players and coaches had close ties to a number of NHL clubs. In a united effort
to show support for the grieving families, all NHL teams sold “Love for Lokomotiv” bracelets. The Islanders raised more
than $8,000 for Lokomotiv’s families throughout the course of the season.
The Islanders teamed up with the National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children for a special fundraising night this past
season. More than $25,000 was raised through tickets sales and
fundraising opportunities over the course of the game. Islanders
Owner Charles Wang matched all donations raised throughout the
course of the evening, generating a donation of more than $50,000
that went to help support the programs of the National Center so we
can continue to keep our children safe.
Smile Train
Smile Train believes every child born with a cleft anywhere in the world has the opportunity to live a full, productive life.
This is a major problem in developing countries where there are millions of children who are suffering with unrepaired
clefts. Most cannot eat or speak properly. They aren’t allowed to attend school or hold a job. They face very difficult lives
filled with shame, isolation, pain and heartache. Their clefts usually go untreated because they are too poor to pay for a
simple surgery that has existed for decades. This is where Smile Train comes in. This season the Islanders teamed up with
Smile Train to help raise awareness and funding for the non-profit so that all children can one day smile.
You can’t discount the importance of
children. Whatever we can do for them,
we have to. They’re our treasures.
Charles Wang, Owner and Governor

AUCTIONS & RAFFLES
Halloween Basket Raffle
Every player creates a Halloween basket with their favorite candy, scary movies and
autographed memorabilia. Each basket is raffled off to fans during a select game in October.
Last season, the team raised more than $3,000 for the ICF with this unique raffle.
Holiday Grab Bag
During the Islanders Holiday Grab Bag, fans are invited to make a nominal donation to the
ICF and in return, they can choose an item from the grab bag. Islanders tickets, autographed
pucks and limited edition merchandise are a few of the items contained in the Holiday Grab
Bags. Last season, the team raised more than $2,500 from this initiative.
Valentine’s Day Puck Surprise
This mystery puck donation game allows fans the opportunity to win autographed Islanders
pucks. Each puck is wrapped so fans cannot see which player’s signature they are receiving. If
a fan receives an unsigned puck, they are able to meet the player after that game to have their
puck signed. The sale of all pucks benefit the ICF and last season the team raised more than $4,500.
Military Jersey Auction and Puck Surprise
During the Islanders annual Military Appreciation Game played in November, players wear
camouflage jerseys during pre-game warm-ups as one way of saluting our troops at home and
abroad. After the game, those jerseys are auctioned online to benefit the ICF. Last season’s
camouflage jerseys raised more than $6,000. During the game, mystery pucks are also sold
and last year they raised an additional $2,000.
St. Patrick’s Day Jersey Auction
When the Islanders host a home game around St. Patrick’s Day, the team unveils a set
of warm-up jerseys that are inspired by the holiday. Designed with Gaelic letters, these
collectible jerseys are a hot auction item for Islanders fans and last season they raised more
than $10,000 for the ICF.
Jerseys Off the Back
In the month leading up to Fan Appreciation Day, fans can bid online for their favorite Islanders
jersey. After the final buzzer, players present their jerseys to the winners on the ice. The 2011-12

he contributions during the 2011-12 season could not
have been possible without the community members
and businesses of Long Island. The Islanders and
Islanders Children’s Foundation would like to send a
special thank you to the following people and groups for
their generosity throughout the season. With all of your
help, the Islanders achieved another highly charitable season.
The things I enjoy most are with the
younger kids. When I see the smiles on

just great. Josh Bailey, Forward

PLAYERS IN THE COMMUNITY
players return during the summer months
Even though the season ended in April, Islanders players made sure to return to Long Island throughout the course of
the offseason to attend summer events. The following players made appearances throughout the summer months: Matt
Moulson, Josh Bailey, Andrew MacDonald, Matt Martin, Rick DiPietro, Michael Grabner, Frans Nielsen, John Tavares,
Kevin Poulin and Nino Niederreiter.
The kids were really excited and I remember how excited I was when I was
their age. They just like to have some fun. Their dream is to play in the NHL
one day, so anything you can do to push them along that way and keep them
involved in sports is a good thing.
It’s great to be able to meet the fans who
come out to the rink every night and are
cheering you on. I’ve heard nothing but
encouraging things from them at these
events, which is really important.
Andrew MacDonald, Defenseman

DRAFT PARTY
DRAFT PARTY (JUNE 22, 2012)
The Islanders held their annual Draft Party on Friday, June 22. More than 7,000 Islanders fans came to the Coliseum to
meet some of their favorite Islanders players and alumni. They eagerly awaited the Islanders to announce their 2012
first-round draft pick. Islanders players Matt Moulson, Matt Martin, Kevin Poulin, and Nino Niederreiter, along with many
top prospects were in attendance to meet fans.
I thought it was really cool to see where they get ready and prepared for games
and where they go when they get hurt. Also seeing all the plaques honoring
past players and the jerseys of current players was really an experience.
Domenic Rizzotti, 13-year-old Isles fan
It’s almost like the atmosphere of a
game. Everyone’s walking around excited
awaiting the draft and enjoying all that
there is to do.
Martin Bush, Longtime Isles fan
51
I.C.E. TOUR
islanders community events tour (i.c.e. tour)
The New York Islanders I.C.E. Tour is an interactive NHL theme park geared towards younger fans, bringing hockey to
Long Island 365 days every year. This grassroots marketing campaign attends local schools, community festivals, hockey
rinks, local charity events and other popular functions. Throughout the course of the year, the I.C.E. Tour attends more
than 300 events on Long Island.
It’s a lot of fun to meet people who support this tem and support the players.
It’s
something I enjoy. Matt
Moulson, Forward
Some people get a little distanced from
these events and don’t realize what things
like this mean to (the fans). It means a lot
to me to see the fans and see people who
support me every night.
53
ISLANDERS KIDS CLUB
kids club
The New York Islanders Kids Club is geared for fans 14 and younger who are looking to become a member of the New
York Islanders team. Available at three levels, fans are given team news updates, promotional merchandise, exclusive
discounts to the team store and tickets to upcoming games. Since its re-launch in 2008, more than 14,000 children have
enrolled and are currently in the program.
We’re blessed to have the opportunity to help these kids out. They go through
a lot of struggles that we can’t even begin to comprehend. Those smiles and
good times might be tough to come by, so it’s really great to be able to bring
that out in them.
Casey Cizikas, Forward
These kids don’t get a chance to do
something like this very often. If I can put
a smile on a kid’s face and help them have
a great time on the ice.... It’s definitely a
very rewarding feeling to help them out.
Ty Wishart, Defenseman

COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
TD Bank HOMETOWn hero
food drives
rock and wrap it up
The New York Islanders and TD Bank created the Hometown Hero
to pay recognition to local community members that have gone
above and beyond to help an individual or the community in which
we all live. The Hometown Hero is invited to come to an Islanders
game and receives in-game recognition. Last year, the Islanders
and TD Bank honored six hometown heroes.
Each season the Islanders collect food for the hungry across Long
Island by holding food drives throughout the year. The Islanders
proudly partnered with Island Harvest for two food drives before
and after the Thanksgiving holiday this past season.
coat drives
The New York Islanders continue to fight Long Island’s battle
with hunger by partnering with Rock and Wrap it Up. All unused
food following Islanders games is donated to local food banks.
The first NHL team to participate in this program, the Islanders
were recognized by the EPA in 2011 for their efforts in feeding
the hungry.
welcome home veterans
The Islanders are proud to recognize local military personnel who
actively serve or have served our country. These heroes protect
America and represent all Long Islanders. During every Islanders
home game, a different veteran is honored and recognized in front
of the entire crowd.
Each season the Islanders collect coats during the winter months
to help the less fortunate stay warm. The Islanders partnered
with Burlington Coat Factory’s “One Warm Coat” campaign for
the second consecutive season holding coat drives throughout
the month of January. More than 800 coats were collected and
donated to the less fortunate.
TOY DRIVEs
Each season the Islanders help collect toys for the less fortunate by
holding toy drives during the holiday season. The Islanders partnered
with the U.S. Marines Toys for Tots Program last season, collecting
toys for underprivileged and sick children. The team also held their
own annual toy drive in December, just prior to the Christmas holiday.
zebra’s care
The National Hockey League Officials Association launched
“Zebra’s Care” during the 2007- 2008 season. Zebra’s Care
was created to bring joy to children across North America and
to grow the great game of hockey. This program provides the
opportunity for underprivileged and sick children to meet many
NHLOA members and to attend a NHL game. During the game,
children are invited to meet the officials before the game and go
on a backstage tour of the arena.

YOUTH HOCKEY
AMATEUR
HOCKEY
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
A
mateur hockey development has been a major focus on Long Island since the Islanders were founded in 1972. In those 40 years, the development programs have grown exponentially. Today, there are
year-round clinics to teach kids of all ages how to ice skate and play hockey. The Islanders also help to develop youth hockey on an international level by hosting foreign teams for a tournament at Nassau
Coliseum every January and by sending Long Island pee-wee players to a world-renowned tournament in Quebec City. The Islanders are committed to growing the sport of hockey on Long Island and around
the world and these programs, funded by the ICF, are the building blocks of that growth.
Try Hockey For Free Day
Hockey is for Everyone
The Islanders support USA Hockey’s effort to grow the game of hockey in the United States. As part
of this initiative, the Islanders hosted Try Hockey For Free Day this past November. This initiative
was started by USA Hockey in order to develop and grow the sport within our country from the
ground up. Forty non-players took the ice for the first time over the course of two 30-minute
sessions. Participants received loaner equipment and instruction from USA Hockey Certified coaches.
Islanders Youth Hockey Jamboree
Islanders Hockey Academy
Entering its third year, the Islanders Hockey Academy continues to provide entry-level hockey
players, ages 6-14, with the opportunity to be introduced to the game of ice hockey. Participants
in the program receive full equipment, instruction and ice time. Players that participate in the
program enjoy visits from current Islanders players and/or coaches at their on-ice sessions, too.
The Islanders are proud to support the NHL’s Hockey is for Everyone initiative. The Islanders have
a variety of programs that cater to hockey players of all types and abilities. The organization
believes that everyone who wants to participate in the game of hockey should have that chance.
Every year, the Islanders host several youth hockey tournaments geared toward local in-house
teams on Long Island. The Jamboree is a day-long event that features cross-ice games for
mini-mite and mite teams. This past season the Islanders Jamboree was held in November in
conjunction with USA Hockey’s Come Play Hockey Month.
Jr. Islanders
New York Islanders House League Tournament
The Jr. Islanders are made up of elite 11- and 12-year-old hockey players from Long Island. The team is
selected through a tryout and coached by former Islanders Benoit Hogue and Bob Nystrom. The team
participates in the annual Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament held each February at
Pepsi Colisee in Quebec City. The tournament, considered by many as the biggest pee-wee hockey
tournament in the world, groups more than 2,300 young athletes from 16 countries to participate in
the World Championship of pee-wee hockey.
Squirt, Pee Wee and Bantam level players competed for the chance of their young lives over the
course of November 2011, in the Islanders first ever house league tournament. Teams competed at
various rinks across Long Island in a round robin tournament. The Championship games were then
played on the Nassau Coliseum ice.
More than 200,000 fans annually attend the 11-day tournament that was founded in 1960. Many
stars from the National Hockey League have passed through this tournament, including current
Islanders players Rick DiPietro and Kyle Okposo, as well as Senior Advisor to the General Manager
and Assistant Coach, Doug Weight.
Special Hockey
The Islanders are also proud supporters of Special Hockey programs on Long Island. Partnering
with NY State’s Special Hockey Program, the Islanders were able to create Special Hockey Day,
which saw sled hockey teams and developmentally disabled teams play on the Coliseum ice for
the second consecutive year.
Teams that participated in the event:
The American SledNew York Raptors
Hockey Association
East Coast Jumbos
Long Island Blues
Nova Coolcats
Fearless Flyers
Bucks County Admirals
Project Hope
The ultimate goal of Project Hope is to provide young athletes with access to educational
opportunities. Project Hope creates opportunities for cultural exchange through international
youth hockey events and by promoting Project Hope scholarship placements in the United States.
Lighthouse International Tournament
In conjunction with Charles B. Wang’s Project Hope, the Islanders annually host an international
youth hockey tournament. The Islanders hosted the 5th Annual Lighthouse International Youth
Hockey Tournament in January 2012. Teams representing Finland and Japan played against American
squads from Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties. In addition to playing tournament games,
teams also participated in an international skills competition. The tournament gives children the
unique multi-cultural experience of interacting with other youth hockey players from around the world.
