Islanders 2014 Training Camp

Your New York Islanders training camp will open on Thursday, 9/18 for player photos, physicals and logistics while the on-ice action starts on Friday.  Players will be broken into three groups for evaluation levels and inter-squad play.  The Isles will have three scrimmage games against the Senators, Hurricanes and Devils.  The game against the Devils will be another face off in Brooklyn.

To my knowledge, I saw nothing on possible camp invites at the time of this blog entry.  Arthur Staple mentioned there is nothing cooking on the controversial “Veteran Defensemen Needed,” front.  No worries though, I’m sure there will be lots of news to watch for later in the week. 

Nice.

@StapeNewsday "the isles have inquired with the hawks bruins and flyers ab making a trade.Boychuk is a player they're interested in."

“For the many who asked last night, Lubo Visnovsky is on LI as of this past weekend, ready to go for camp.”

 

On 10/10, "Tavares, Okposo, McDonald, de Haan, J. Sundstrom have joined the Isles workout today."

The Islanders will stream the preseason game vs. the Hurricanes on 9/24, the preseason game vs. the Devils in Brooklyn from 9/26 will air on MSG (NO REALLY) and stream the 10/3 game against Bruins on their website.

Rumors have surfaced that minority owner of the Minnesota Wild, Phil Falcone has interest to buy into Islanders ownership.
