The New York Islanders’ annual charity golf outing at Glenn Oakes offered more than just a day on the course—it marked the first time forward Anthony Duclair spoke publicly since a turbulent end to last season. Duclair, who signed a four-year deal with the Islanders last summer, endured a challenging first year on Long Island, battling through a serious groin injury and the fallout of pointed postgame remarks from head coach Patrick Roy.
Duclair revealed the extent of the injury he suffered in just his fifth game with the Isles, describing how it set the tone for the remainder of his season.
