Today is the first day of prospect camp. Hockey season is (almost) back, y’all. No one expects anything big out of this team this season, myself included, but that doesn’t take away from the joy and excitement of watching hockey again. We all wish for meaningful hockey, of course, and it’s not a guarantee Islander hockey won’t be meaningful down the stretch. Who knows how it will actually unfold - that’s one of the reasons we keep coming back, isn’t it?
What I’m trying to say is that, despite everything that has changed this summer around this team, they’re still our team.
