n their continued efforts to make New York Islanders

games the premier destination for Long Island

families, the Islanders are offering a lower level

season ticket for young fans that will cost just $10 a game.

Not surprisingly, in the first month since its introduction,

this offer has become a hot ticket.

"The NYI365 KIDS SEASON PASS came about after

(owner) Charles Wang made it clear to us in our off-season

meetings that our organization has three primary goals,"

said Chris Dey, Islanders Senior Vice President of Sales,

Marketing and Operations. "Our goals are for Islanders

games to be the number one entertainment option for Long

Island families, to pack the Coliseum for every game and -

it goes without saying - to bring the Stanley Cup back to

Long Island."

The one-of-a-kind NYI365 KIDS SEASON PASS gives

youngsters 42 games of the best Rick DiPietro, the Islanders

and the NHL have to offer - including 4 games versus Sidney

Crosby and the Penguins, as well as 4 games each against the

Rangers, Devils and Flyers.

Islanders fans ordering one full adult season ticket at the

club's already discounted prices can reserve the seat next to

them for a child 12 years and younger for the 2007-08

season for just $420. Tickets are currently available in

designated family sections comprised of lower level seats

at the Coliseum.

Even the NHL commissioner was excited by the Islanders'

initiative to bring hockey to more families in New York.

"We applaud the Islanders for an innovation that

encourages families and young people to attend our

games,” said NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. “This

initiative presents an opportunity to share the excitement of

National Hockey League action with even more fans.”

Since the NYI365 KIDS SEASON PASS is for children 12

years of age or younger, tickets will be exclusively

designed and coded for children. In addition, there will be a

separate entrance for families with the pass to enter Nassau

Veterans Memorial Coliseum on game days.

"Of course, we want to see all kinds of fans packing our

games at the Coliseum," said Islanders head coach Ted

Nolan. "But let's face it: there's nothing like a jammed hockey

barn when there are young fans cheering their hearts out. I

love the fact that Charles is making $10 tickets available for

kids. I really hope our fans take advantage of this offer."

The NYI365 KIDS SEASON PASS is available for a

limited time only. Fans are encouraged to inquire about

ticket availability as soon as possible because the family

sections are expected to sell out quickly.

aLETTERFROMMIKEBOSSYDear Islanders Fans:

Welcome to Islanders Mean Business night at Nassau Coliseum.

Hockey fans know that the Islanders mean business every time they hit the ice, especially when taking on the cross-town

rival New York Rangers. Believe me, Islanders-Rangers games were always a highlight of my year back when I played,

and they’re still a thrill for me today.

After going 5-1-2 against the Rangers last year, I’m sure the team will want to post an even better record this season. No

matter what the final score is tonight, I have no doubt the team will play with the grit, character and heart we expect.

Inside this issue of Islanders Illustrated, you’ll learn that the Islanders mean business off the ice as well. As Executive

Director of Corporate Relations and the new Islanders Business Club, it’s my personal goal to ensure that each and every

company we do business with be treated as a business partner, rather than just a sponsor.

To this end, this evening and throughout the course of the season, I’ll be hosting hospitality and networking events for

Islanders Business Club members and their guests. At each event, members will hear from recognized business leaders,

sports figures and members of the political arena, as well as some surprise guests. At the heart of these special evenings

will be the opportunity for guests to network with other compatriots from the Long Island business community.

As you can see, I’m extremely excited about this year’s team and about the business climate here on Long Island (and at

Nassau Coliseum in particular).

On behalf of the entire New York Islanders organization, I’d like to thank you for joining us this evening and for your

continued support on and off the ice.

Sincerely,

Mike Bossy

Executive Director, Corporate Relations and Islanders Business Club


A year after taking over as Executive Director of Corporate Relations, the Islanderslegend talks about what he’s accomplished and his goals for the future

bossyspeaks out By Jason Lockhart


What were your expectations coming into your

new role as Executive Director of Corporate

Relations?

I honestly didn’t have any. When I first came on board,

my conversation with Charles and Mike was about doing

anything I could to help with the franchise. I just wanted

to be useful and get any input I could from those people

already in the organization.

How is this job different from, or similar to,

being a player for the organization?

When you’re a player, your focus is solely on the game,

and what you have to do as a team on the ice. Now, I feel

that I’m doing basically the same thing, but not on the

ice. The adaptation was fairly easy. Everyone in the

organization welcomed me with open arms. After that, I

focused on getting up to speed on the business side and

learning about the clients that we have. It’s all about

getting people involved with the organization.

What do your day-to-day tasks consist of?

My “day-to-day” falls into two categories: when I’m in

New York and when I’m in Montreal. They each fold into

one another. In Montreal, I’m usually trying to set up

meetings, while developing and working on different

proposals. When I arrive in New York, I’m going from one

meeting to another. I meet with clients, as well as

marketing employees from other teams. My calendar is

non-stop from the minute I arrive to when I return to the

airport.

What’s it been like working in the community

since returning?

I really enjoy getting involved with the community. I’ve

also had the opportunity to get involved with charities,

which is very important. I was able to be involved with

some of these things as a player, so it’s nice to pick up

where I left off.

Talk about Bossy’s Bunch.

There are two individuals and one corporation who

confided in me to give away seats to their suites. With

Bossy’s Bunch, we’re filling those suites with kids who

would not normally have been able to come to the game,

including kids who are currently ill and those who are

recovering from illness. The suites are also given away

to non-profit organizations.

Of all that you’ve accomplished in your first

year, what are you most proud of?

Giving away the suites has to be up there. Plus, I’ve also

helped bring on at least one big sponsor this year, and

that’s always an accomplishment. I really enjoy the

involvement I have with all the sponsors and the

employees. When I came on board, no one knew what

impact I would have and how much I would get

involved. But I like to get involved and get my hands

dirty. After a year, I feel like I never really left the team.

What are your goals for the next year?

To make the team as successful as it can be off the ice.

We are on the verge of moving into a new building in the

future and that will be extremely exciting for the

Islanders and Long Island. That transition will be great

for the sponsors. It’s important to get everyone on board

for when that happens.

What was the reason behind the IBC?

We’ve been doing networking events for sponsors in the

past, but this is something that is completely new for us.

The main goal of the Islanders Business Club is to help

our partners get the most out of their relationships with

us. Business is all about relationships. Not only do we

want to create relationships with our sponsors, we also

want to create relationships between businesses. It’s

important for us to give back to the businesses that have

been willing to sponsor the team. In essence, the goal is

for businesses that are sponsors to get to know other

sponsors.


Faye BarthBrooklyn, New york

What makes me an Islander? Geographically? Well,Brooklyn IS part of Long Island (even if it belongs toNew York City politically)... I live just a "smidge" tothe left of the "I" in the Isles logo and I'm NOT theonly Isles fan in my neighborhood, either. I root for theteam, and have done so for many years. I rememberhaving to restrain myself from jumping up and downwhen LaFontaine scored the Easter Epic goal (mydownstairs neighbors would not have appreciated it).

What makes youan Islander?

Over the summer months, we sent out an appeal to fans on

our website to tell us what exactly it was that made them

Islanders. Within hours, our inboxes were flooded with a

bevy of quotes, quips and one-liners from Islanders fans

from all over the planet. This deluge of responses

continues to this day, because whether they’re right here in

Nassau County or halfway around the globe, Isles fans

always have something to say.

Tell us what makes YOU an Islander. Go to newyorkislanders.com and click on Fan Zone.

Jeffrey S. WeinsteinWayne, new jersey

In 1993, the day after the Washington series, I had totravel on business to Amsterdam for two weeks. Ichecked the schedule and realized that the ONLY wayI'd see any of the series was if it went to Game 7 (with-out Turgeon, of course) AND the game went to OT. Then,I might be able to land at Kennedy and get home in timeto see it.

I woke up in the morning after games 1-6 and wouldimmediately call Sportsphone for scores. Sure enough,Game 7 arrived and I flew home. I landed on time andmade the limo driver pull over before the LincolnTunnel to hear the last two minutes of regulation. Iwalked through the door 2 minutes into OT, and Volekscores at 5:16! My first call was to my brother, and myfirst words were, "This totally proves, and don't youever forget, that this team plays for ME!"

Albie DeAndreaLynnwood, Washington

I have lived and died with this team since April of 1975 when I was home in New Jersey on leave from the Navy andsitting in a neighborhood pub with friends. I noticed a hockey game on TV with a team I had never heard of before.Needless to say, it was the series against Pittsburgh and I was watching game four. I realized they were down threegames to none and I just started rooting for them as the apparent underdog. I managed to catch games five and sixat that same pub (both Islanders victories). Unfortunately, my leave ended and I had to head back to the base, so Icouldn't catch game seven. I scoured the papers when I arrived at the base and found they had won game seven. Ihave been a fan ever since.



simplythebestThe Islanders–Rangers rivalry is one for the ages By Steve Mears

T

hey’ve met 208 times over 34 National Hockey

League regular seasons. And each time they play,

dates on countless calendars have been circled

well in advance. Whether you’re a player, coach,

broadcaster, or a fan of the New York Islanders, you have

had the privilege of being a part of not just one of the best

rivalries in hockey, but one of the best in all of sports. Of

course, it’s the “Battle of New York” between the Islanders

and Rangers. But this rivalry is about a lot more than just

geography. It’s an annual clash based on division races,

passionate fans, a rich playoff history, and “Long Island

versus Manhattan.”

The rivalry was destined to be a great one right from the

start when the Islanders were born in

1972. Of course, the Rangers had

been in the NHL since 1926 and had

a firm grasp on the New York

market, including parts of Long Island. But the Islanders

joined the NHL (original owner Roy Boe and his group paid

the Rangers a $4 million territorial fee) and a feud within

the metro area was created.

Since the Islanders’ inception, the two New York clubs have

played some of the most memorable hockey games in NHL

history. It was fitting that the Isles’ first playoff series win

came at the Rangers’ expense when J.P. Parise scored

eleven seconds into overtime of the third and deciding game

of their 1975 first round playoff series. Then it was the

Blueshirts’ turn in 1979 as they handed the heavily-favored

Islanders a devastating six-game playoff loss.

But then there was The Dynasty. Nineteen straight playoff

series wins alone was a remarkable and highly memorable

achievement for the Islanders. But it was even more

glorious with playoff battles against the Rangers in each

postseason from 1981 to 1984. All of which, were won by

the orange and blue.

Maybe the greatest series of them all was the 1984 Patrick

Division Semi-Final. This summer, John Rolfe of

CNNSI.com wrote about the fifth and deciding game of that

battle as part of their “Best Game I’ve Ever Seen” series. A

childhood Islanders fan, Rolfe wrote on the Isles’ win over

the hated Rangers, “…over time I came to marvel at how

courageously each team had played. It's the measure of a

great game when you can sincerely salute a team you loathe

for its heart and skill.” Ken Morrow scored the overtime

game-winning goal to keep the Islander dynasty alive.

As with most great rivalries, the animosity is immediately

inherited by newcomers. Last season, Mike Sillinger,

Brendan Witt, Chris Simon and others were tossed right

into the middle of the “Battle of New York” and began a

new chapter. The Islanders won the first four games of the

eight-game season series in 2006-2007, which brought on

chants of “You Can’t Beat Us!” from the Isles’ faithful. But

the Rangers would win the next three meetings, including a

56-save performance from Rick DiPietro, an overtime

Rangers victory, and the infamous Chris Simon slash to the

chin of Rangers forward Ryan Hollweg. The final meeting,

a must-win situation for the Islanders and their playoff

hopes, saw Wade Dubielewicz post a 3-2 shootout win.

In 2007-2008, the Islanders and Rangers will once again

meet eight times in the regular season and twice in the

preseason (you know it’s a great rivalry when the

exhibition games spark nearly the same passion as the

regular season). Simon will return from suspension for the

second meeting and the Rangers will boast two of the top

centers in the NHL with Scott Gomez and Chris Drury

added to their roster this summer. Once again, we will see a

showdown between two of the best young goaltenders in

hockey: Rick DiPietro and Henrik Lundqvist. And you

know the Islanders’ fans will invade

“enemy territory” at Madison

Square Garden, just like the many

Rangers fans that show up at Nassau

Coliseum. The chants will be a mix of new ones and classic

ones, just like the battles on the ice.

While Islanders/Rangers may not have the lengthy history

of the Maple Leafs/Canadiens rivalry, or the nation-wide

appeal of Yankees/Red Sox, there is nothing like it in all of

sports. Even the Mets and Yankees’ feud falls short because

it lacks the numerous playoff battles and division

implications. Thanks to the hostility, proximity and

magnitude of each meeting, the Islanders and Rangers

have treated us all to a level of drama that you can’t find in

any Hollywood production. As in the past, this year’s

episodes are guaranteed to add even more to the legacy.

“It's the measure of a great game when you can sincerelysalute a team you loathe for its heart and skill.”


I

remember one particular Islanders-Rangers game

from the early/mid 90’s. My best friend, Mike (a

Rangers fan) and I were psyched for our first Isles-

Rangers game of the year. The game was great because

there were tons of fights. One of the fights was a great bout

between Jeff Beukeboom of the Rangers and #32 for the

Isles, Steve Thomas. Steve was much smaller, but he hung

in with a much bigger Beukeboom. When the game ended,

I realized that my wallet was gone. We were on our hands

and knees searching under all the seats in the 100’s where

we were sitting when who do we see walking out in his

suit, but Steve Thomas. I ran over to him to tell him how

great he was in the game and the fight. Steve just gave this

great grin and said, “he whacked me good.” My friend and

I thought that this was hysterical. Steve then asked what we

were doing on the floor and we told him we were looking

for my wallet. Steve helped us look for my wallet until we

found it. Great guy, great player, great fight and he made a

great Islanders memory.

Jody Bleiman

Huntington, NY

T

he spring 1984 playoffs remind me of my favorite

Islanders-Rangers experience. Not the first round,

fifth game and Ken Morrow’s overtime goal, but

the fourth game at Madison Square Garden. The Islanders

were down 2 games to 1 and my cousin -- who had Rangers

season tickets in the old blue seats -- asked if I wanted to

go. I was only 16, so my decision to throw on my #5

Potvin away jersey seemed a bit risky in retrospect, but off

I went on the LIRR. Our seats were in the area that would

be the Islanders offensive zone for the first and third

periods. For two periods I was tortured -- verbally abused,

really -- and when the second period ended with the

Rangers ahead it only got worse.

Then came the third period: three unanswered goals,

Patrick Flatley’s monster hit on Barry Beck, and a Clark

Gillies one-timer near the end of the game to put it away. I

don’t remember the walk back to the LIRR terminal, but to

hear my cousin describe it, I’m lucky to be able to tell the

story now.

Stewart Milch

West Orange, NJ

I

am 30 years old and have attended many Islanders-

Rangers games since I was about 6 years old. The

game this past year on Dec 26, 2006, (which the Isles

won 2-0) was special to me because it was the last game I

attended with my father, who had taken me to games since

I was in diapers. My father had cancer and passed away

one month after the date of that game, so that is my last

memory that I will have of him taking me to games over

my lifetime. It was a memory I will never forget. It was a

great game, especially the Islanders getting the shutout.

My favorite part of the game was the crowd going nuts

chanting "YOU CAN'T BEAT US!" My dad and I got a

kick out of it, and my dad told me that it was the best game

he ever attended which made me happy to hear. It will be

hard for me to attend future games without thinking of my

dad not being there, but as a true Isles fan, we must move

on and I know my dad will be there in spirit.

Congratulations. You did it. You made it through the

long, hot summer without melting.

Maybe you killed some time by watching the Mets or

Yankees. A trip to the beach may have helped move

things along and, maybe you dozed off while staring

at the water, dreaming it would turn to ice.

Regardless of how you passed the time, you have

survived and now that fall is officially here, the

leaves are turning. And so is your attention…to

hockey.

The tens of thousands of you who've been watching

Islanders TV didn't need to dream of water turning

into ice to get your hockey fix during this past

summer. In fact, you logged over half a million visits

to “ITV” to view the wealth of video content the

channel has served up over the past few months.

This summer, the ITV crew delivered on a promise

to publish new content every single day. New

features included a two-part Legends show on Hall

of Famer Mike Bossy, extended interviews with the

newest Isles Bill Guerin and Mike Comrie, and a

great look at the Islanders beautiful team store in

Hicksville. Islanders TV was all over the NHL Entry

Draft, posting 19 new feature elements in just over

24 hours in Columbus. Islanders Prospect Mini-

Camp was also swarming with ITV cameras. In fact,

36 new features were posted in one week of camp,

including player video blogs and behind the scenes

access to Ted Nolan and Garth Snow's private

speeches to the players.

Bruno Gervais' Hall of Fame tour, a 3-part series that

debuted in August, chronicled Bruno's first-ever trip

to Hockey's hallowed hall. In September, for the first

time in team history, the Islanders broadcasted their

ISLANDERS TV:

YOURALLACCESSPASSTOTHETEAMExpanded coverage will keep fans busy all season long

pre-season games live on Islanders TV, with full

commentary from Steve Mears and Billy Jaffe.

All of the new content is on demand by simply

typing a keyword in the search box.

Debuting this fall will be “Ted's Time,” the first

video blog from an NHL Head Coach. Nolan will

blog into his home video camera once a week during

the season, talking directly to Islanders fans. Ted is a

smart, charismatic and energetic guy, and you won't

want to miss his weekly blog.

All these features are in addition to Islanders TV's

intense coverage of the team during the season,

which includes pre-game interviews, game

highlights, post-game press conferences, “Islanders

Today,” and the popular 60-minute version of all

Islanders games, “Instant Isles.”

Perhaps the most exciting piece of news this

offseason was the NHL's new deal with NeuLion, the

Plainview-based company that serves as the

backbone of Islanders TV. Using Islanders TV as the

model, the NHL has signed a deal to produce replica

Internet channels for the league and its teams. It's

hard to believe, but only one year after ITV's debut,

all 30 teams in the NHL will now have their own

version of Islanders TV. It is our goal to always stay

two steps ahead of the pack, and the ITV crew of

producers is committed to making it happen.

To get Islanders TV, go to newyorkislanders.com andclick on the Islanders TV link. No television or cablebox is required. The Islanders have partnered withNeuLion, who patented a formula for broadcastingthe most crisp internet video you will find on the web.Whether in a small window or in full-screen display,Islanders TV broadcasts beautiful DVD quality video.

The Islanders will honor the 17 players that comprised theIslanders dynasty, along with GM Bill Torrey and Coach AlArbour at the Core of the Four Celebration on Sunday,March 2 at 2:00 pm when the team hosts the FloridaPanthers. This is one in a series of tributes to the membersof the Core of the Four.

H

is name is synonymous with the ultimate trade

deadline acquisition. No matter the sport, you’ll

hear commentators discuss how this team or that

team “needs the big move to put them over the top, needs a

Butch Goring trade.”

It all started during the 1979-80 season when the Islanders

looked like they might never reach their great expectations.

Realizing he needed a second center to take some of the

pressure off all-star Bryan Trottier, Islanders general

manager Bill Torrey swung a deadline-deal on March 10,

1980. He acquired Goring from the Los Angeles Kings in

exchange for winger and first ever Islander junior draft pick

Billy Harris and steady defensmen Dave Lewis. The trade

was not without controversy at the time, as Harris and

Lewis were very popular on Long Island among teammates

and fans. Even Torrey hated to do the deal from a personal

standpoint, as he grew attached to his players. But from a

business standpoint, he felt the deal needed to be done.

Goring had four consecutive 30-plus goal seasons with Los

Angeles centering a second line behind the famous “Triple

Crown” line of Marcel Dionne, Charlie Simmer and Dave

Taylor. Torrey figured that Goring, whose speed and work

ethic were above and beyond the call of duty, could take

some of the pressure off Trottier and give New York’s

opponents two lines to worry about.

Though the team suffered emotionally, since both Harris

and Lewis were extremely popular in the locker room, the

Islanders rebounded quickly. Goring stepped right into

the fray and helped the Islanders finish the season with a

12-game unbeaten streak (8-0-4). As Torrey had hoped,

he gave the Islanders another weapon for their arsenal –

one who could skate like the wind, win faceoffs, kill

penalties, dig in the corners, assist his wingers and score.

The rest is Islanders history.

The Islanders won the Stanley Cup in 1980, but it was the

next Cup that Goring will always be remembered for. He

was a total standout in the 1981 playoffs, especially in the

finals against the Minnesota North Stars. After winning the

first two games, it was Goring that just about single-

handedly won Game 3 for New York. Trailing 3-1 at the

Met, Goring notched a hat trick to help the Isles win the

game 7-5 for a 3-0 series lead. And after losing the next

game, Goring scored two goals in the first period of Game 5

at home as the Islanders won the game 5-1 and their second

straight championship. Goring’s name was etched on the

Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the playoffs.

Goring went on to win two more Cups with the Islanders

and stayed on until the Bruins claimed him off waivers in

January, 1985. But ask anyone around the Islanders

dynasty, without Butch Goring, there may not even have

been a first Stanley Cup.

hile it may seem Islanders right wing Trent

Hunter has been an Islander from Day One,

it’s not completely true. Originally drafted in

the sixth round of the 1998 NHL Entry Draft by the then

Anaheim Mighty Ducks, Hunter was traded to the

Islanders following the 1999-2000 season, when the

Alberta native was just finishing his Canadian Junior days

with Prince George of the WHL.

From May 23, 2000 until today, Hunter has proudly been a

member of the Orange and Blue, whether playing for the

Sound Tigers in Bridgeport or sporting the Islanders crest

on Long Island.

Hunter’s game has steadily developed since he first hit the

Coliseum ice during Game 4 of the 2002 Eastern

Conference Quarterfinal series against Toronto. Last season

he recorded 20 goals and was a +5 despite playing against

the opposing teams’ top lines for much of the season. Only

27 and having played in 244 NHL regular season games,

Hunter should continue to grow into an even more effective

power forward in the coming years. We sat down recently

with Hunter to discuss his life as an Islander.

What did it feel like being traded to the Islandersby the team that drafted you?

It was probably less shocking to be traded before I played

with Anaheim than to be traded after playing with them for

a while. I had only been to a couple of the training camps. It

was exciting coming to Long Island, considering the

history of the organization.

What was it like making your NHL debut in the2002 playoffs against Toronto?

Playing in my first NHL game was the most nervous I’ve

ever been in my life. It was an absolute dream come true to

play in a playoff series, especially since it was against

Toronto. The game was telecast back home on “Hockey

Night in Canada” so all my friends and family back home

could watch. That took a while to sink in. There was so

much going on around me. Coming into the playoffs was

pretty nerve-racking, since I was coming into a team that

had worked together all season, and I didn’t want to be the

one that made a mistake. I was pretty focused on trying to

contribute as much I could. The fans on the Island were

amazing and it was such a great experience.

Rookie of the Year nominee. Explain.

I was able to come into my first year and get a few bounces

and breaks right off the bat. That built my confidence,

which helped. I was more confident on the ice with the

puck and with the guys.

Do you think the rule changes helped or hurtpower forwards like you?

A lot of my game is down in the corners and around the net.

The rule enforcements have also helped for situations like

that as well. Now guys can’t hold you or get their arms

around you when you get a step on them out of the corner.

They have to either let you walk in or take a penalty. There

are parts that helped me out, but the game has gotten faster.

You have to be on your toes. If you can’t get to some place

as fast as someone else, you have to anticipate a little

quicker. Speed is always something I’m trying to work on.

I’m always trying to get a little quicker.

What was the key to your success in the secondhalf of last season?

I was given a chance to play with Mike Sillinger and Andy

Hilbert for much of it. They made things a lot easier. We

really clicked as a line right from the start. We kept it

simple. We didn’t do anything too flashy. We tried to get

pucks and bodies to the net and it worked out.

How tough is it to balance your offensiveproduction with your defensive responsibilitywhile playing against the opponents’ top lines?

Defense is always a priority. You have to take care of your

own end. When you play strong defensively, you’ll get

chances at the other end. It’s fun playing against the

league’s top players; it’s a challenge. I had some previous

experience playing against the top lines when I played with

Bates and Peca my first year. Playing with them, we had a

similar task, so it’s not like this was totally new.

Does it change anything now that you have a childof your own?

It’s a huge change in my life. It’s amazing to have a

daughter of your own. There are some games where things

don’t go right, and you go home and you’re not very happy.

In the past, you might have dwelled on it a little more, but

now you see your little daughter there and a lot of the

frustrations go right out the window. This is where I started

my career. The Islanders gave me the opportunity. My wife

and I like it here, and we want to stay for a long time.

A

s you sit in your seat at today’s game, you’ll see

the smiling faces of countless children from all

around Long Island. Chances are, a good

number of them are here because of RexCorp and it’s

commitment to Islanders Inspire.

Soon after the inception of Islanders Inspire, which offers

businesses and individuals a unique opportunity to give

area children memories that will last a lifetime by sending

them to Islanders home games, RexCorp Realty Corp.

jumped at the chance to sign on as the program’s title

sponsor.

“We are proud to support RexCorp Islanders Inspire,” said

Scott Rechler, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

of RexCorp. “Our company is committed to enhancing the

communities where we operate, and this program will

give children in our region an unforgettable day at a

National Hockey League game.”

Mr. Rechler continued, “Personal integrity and a

Hopefully, by showing these kids how the Islanders work

together on the ice, we can demonstrate how hard work

and teamwork can make a difference in one’s life.”

Said Kimberly Dey, the Executive Director of the New

York Islanders Children’s Foundation: “Thanks to the

incredible support of Scott Rechler and his entire

organization, RexCorp Islanders Inspire will be able to

make dreams come true for thousands of young people in

our community.”

RexCorp Islanders Inspire even takes care of game-day

transportation for these kids, which is often a hurdle in

bringing larger children’s groups to events on Long

Island.

More than 1,200 children from Long Island were guests of

RexCorp Islanders Inspire and its benefactors at

Monday’s Kids’ Opening Day game.

Islanders captain Bill Guerin and many of his teammates –

including Rick DiPietro, Mike Comrie, Ruslan Fedotenko

and Jon Sim – were so taken with the spirit of the program

that they all made significant contributions once they

learned of its creation.

"On behalf of all of my teammates," said Bill Guerin, "I

Islanders Inspire and providing us the corporate

leadership required to run the best community program in

the NHL. We encourage Long Islanders to join us in

P

lanning a group activity can be a daunting task, but

bringing your organization to an Islanders game is

easy, fun and affordable. Whether you’re running a

company outing, a school, scouting or sports team event, a

birthday party, or you just have a large group that loves

hockey, the Islanders Group Sales team will work with you

to make your event a big hit.

With Group Tickets pricing, you’ll get substantial savings

off regular box office prices and you can just about

guarantee that your group will have a great day or night out.

Islanders game, there are a number of special group events

you and your group can participate in.

extraordinary one, why not host it at an Isles game? There

are three great party packages available and each one

includes game tickets, hot dog and soda vouchers, plus a

special gift for the guest of honor. The birthday boy or girl

will even get to see his or her name on the Jumbotron.

Youth Hockey teams can take advantage of the Islanders

Mites on Ice or Future Isles programs. With Mites on Ice,

your youth team can attend an Isles game and play a brief

for a game, Private Post Game Skates can be arranged.

You can even have your group host a post-game meet &

greet with a current player, alumnus or coach.

On the topic of players, before they even donned skates as

Islanders this season, Bill Guerin, Mike Comrie and Ruslan

Fedotenko got involved with RexCorp Islanders Inspire, a

new program that allows companies (and generous

individuals like Bill, Mike and Ruslan) on Long Island to

take an active role in affording positive life experiences to

thousands of Long Island children. Through RexCorp

Islanders Inspire, companies can purchase blocks of 100 $50

Long Island. Participating companies receive a host of

benefits, including a PA announcement and scoreboard

mention during their sponsored game, a signed Islanders

hockey puck, four VIP tickets to that night’s game and more!

While this package carries a value of over $7,600, it’s

available to donors for only $3,600.

Groups that are looking for a novel way to raise funds should

look at the Islanders Pucks Into Bucks program. With

Pucks into Bucks, organizations can purchase $50 tickets for

only $20 and resell them for $30 - a profit of $10 per ticket.

As you can see, there is no shortage of fun and exciting

ways for your group to get in on the action of Islanders

his off-season we saw some of the best players in

the game come to the Islanders, as well as their

biggest rivals. This movement has created one of

the most eagerly anticipated Islanders seasons in years.

Last season, fans had to wait all the way until late December

for the first Islanders/Rangers game of the season. This

year, the NHL had been much kinder to fans as the Isles

play host to the Rangers tonight. Fans should expect

nothing less than an epic battle, as each team will attempt to

send an early season message to the other.

onight the Islanders and Rangers face off for the

209th time in regular season play. In the first 208

meetings, the series is virtually even, with the

Islanders going 92-94-19-3 over the first 34 seasons of

play. With another eight contests this year, the Islanders

could pull ahead of the Rangers in the all-time series for the

first time since Jan. 10, 2004.

The Islanders had a standout season against the Rangers in

2006-07, sporting a record of 5-1-2. It was the first time

since the 2001-02 season the Islanders claimed the season

series over the Rangers.

With a record of 2-1-1 against the Rangers at Nassau

Coliseum in 2006-07, it was the first time since the 1997-98

season the Islanders earned more points than the Rangers at

the Coliseum in a given season.

While the regular season series may be close, it’s in the

postseason where the Islanders have had a decisive

advantage. Since 1972 – the birth of the Islanders – the

Rangers have won one Stanley Cup to the Islanders’ four.

For four consecutive postseasons – 1981-84 – the Islanders

took down the Blueshirts on their way to the Stanley Cup

Finals. Overall, the Islanders are 5-3 in playoff series

against the Rangers.

Over the 208 games played during the regular season, there

have been a total of 25 hat tricks – 13 for the Islanders and

12 for the Rangers. Bryan Trottier had one of the most

memorable games against the Rangers, when he scored

five times on Dec. 23, 1978 at Nassau Coliseum. Trottier

tallied another trick two seasons prior and Brent Sutter also

notched two hat tricks in his career against the Rangers.

GOFIGURE Islanders-Rangers facts and figures By Jason Lockhart

But it was Mike Bossy who reigned supreme against the

Rangers, posting three hat tricks in a span of three seasons.

Adam Graves and Tomas Sandstrom each had two hat

tricks in their careers while facing the Islanders.

If you have ever been to an Islanders-Rangers contest at

either Nassau Coliseum or Madison Square Garden, then

you understand how loud the buildings can be. It’s no

surprise that home ice is actually an advantage. When at

home, the Islanders are 57-37-8-2 against the Rangers, as

opposed to 35-57-11-1 at Madison Square Garden.

However, the Islanders took it to the Rangers last season at

the Garden, going 3-0-1 in their four meetings.

One of the more lopsided nuggets of information is the

shutout comparison; Rangers have nine to the Islanders’

five. Ed Giacomin, John Vanbiesbrouck and current

Islanders goaltending coach Mike Dunham each have put

up zeroes against the Islanders, while six different

Islanders – one shutout was combined – have done the

same to the Rangers. Rick DiPietro was the latest Rangers

or Islanders netminder to achieve the feat, turning aside 26

shots in a 2-0 win at Nassau Coliseum on Dec. 26, 2006.

The latest stat to be included in this rivalry is that of the

shootout. Only two years into its existence, the skills

competition has already graced the Islanders-Rangers

rivalry three times. The Islanders have been victorious

twice, earning a win on Oct. 19, 2005 in the teams’ first

shootout in franchise history. It was also Rick DiPietro’s

first victory over the Rangers in his first six tries.

Beyond all of the facts and figures, it’s the intensity of the

play that rules these games. Stats are thrown out the

window and that’s the beauty of the rivalry.

I

n 2006-07, Islanders fans had to wait until the end of December to get their first taste of Islanders-Rangers hockey at

Nassau Coliseum. The good people in the NHL spared Islanders fans of a prolonged wait in 2007-08, making Home

Game #3 the anticipated first Islanders-Rangers matchup of the season on Long Island. Don’t expect anything less than

intense, up-and-down hockey this season between the two New York rivals. There are some familiar faces from both sides

renewing the rivalry, including goaltenders Rick DiPietro and Henrik Lundqvist. This showdown between two of the

finest young netminders in the league could be one of the best for the next decade. Brendan Witt and the Islanders defense

once again have to prepare against a number of different weapons including Jaromir Jagr, Brendan Shanahan and

Martin Straka. In addition, the Rangers added Scott Gomez and Chris Drury to their roster in the off season to make

things even more interesting for 2007-08.

There’s never been a better time to become a sponsor of the

New York Islanders. As a valued sponsor of the New York

Islanders, you’ll be an integral part of the only major

league team on Long Island, with the ability to reach out to

over eight million people on the island.

Newyorkislanders.com is one of the most viewed sites in

the NHL, and those sponsors with special packages receive

a banner on the home page. Imagine millions of viewers

seeing your banner each year.

Luxury suites offer some of the most comfortable seats in

the Coliseum and suite holders can enjoy these renovated

areas that feature newly installed LCD flat-panel TVs, as

well as stadium seating. In addition, suites offer full bars

with dining services, so you’ll never have to miss a save or

a goal.

Throughout the season and off season, the Islanders hold

press conferences for major announcements, and often

invite sponsors to these invite-only events. Last summer, a

number of sponsors were among the first people on Long

Island to meet the newest Islanders and learn that Bill

Guerin was awarded the captain’s “C.”

But the benefits don’t stop there. Each year, the team’s top-

tier sponsors can join the team on a road trip during the

season. These road trips typically include a flight on the

team charter plane, accommodations in the team’s hotel,

team meals and a ride on the team bus to the arena.

If you haven’t been fortunate enough to meet the players at

any of the other events, don’t worry, you can always chat

with them at the annual season ticket holder and sponsors

party.

Along with the various other perks, sponsors also receive

special Islanders apparel discounts at the Team Store.

"The Islanders have so much to offer the top businesses on

the Island," said Mike Bossy, the team's Executive Director

of Corporate Relations. "I'm very proud to have been an

Islander for 30 years now and the fact is our franchise

needs the support of the corporate community. Between

advertising, suites and projects like the Islanders Business

Club, there is so much good we can do together."

In today’s competitive business climate, who you know is

every bit as important as what you know. That’s why the

Islanders have created the Islanders Business Club, a new

business and social network for sponsors and business

partners of the New York Islanders.

Since networking is at the heart of the club, throughout the

season, members will be invited to pre-game networking

events which will feature guest speakers from the worlds of

business, sports and politics. Tonight, the Islanders Business

Club is hosting the second of this season’s seven scheduled

networking events.

“This is something that is completely new for us,” said

Bossy. “We have been doing networking events for sponsors

in the past, but we’ve never had a business and social club

set up like this. The main goal of the Islanders Business Club

is for every business to get the most out of their relationship

with the Islanders. It’s important for us to give back to the

businesses that have generously sponsored our team. I will

be working closely with our manager of this program, Catie

Bennett, who will be handling the ins and outs.”

Participating businesses will also be featured in the business

directory of the club’s website which is currently under

construction. The site will include business profiles with

company names, websites, business descriptions and contact

information. In-depth executive profiles are also in the

works for the site.

“The ultimate goal is for businesses that are our sponsors to

get to know other sponsors,” said Bossy. “Hopefully they

will in turn do business together. Business is all about

relationships. We not only want sponsors to create

relationships with us, but also with each other.” Bossy

added, “You’ll find me at most of the events, so feel free to

approach me with any questions you have.”

A

fter growing up in Sweden and competing in the

Swedish Junior Leagues, Figren made the move

to the Western Hockey League (WHL) last year

to further his development in a more NHL-style setting.

Playing primarily with physical western Canadians,

Figren held his own topping all Calgary Hitmen freshmen

with ten goals and 27 points in 62 games. Figren also

ranked fifth on the team with seven power play tallies.

However, it was in the playoffs where Figren shined,

playing a key role in the Hitmen’s march to the

Conference Final. Figren was named one of the Three

Stars of the Game in three playoff contests, earning the

First Star of the Game in the Hitmen’s Game 3 victory

over Medicine Hat.

In 18 postseason games, Figren went 4-4-8, including 2-1-

3 in the team’s five-game Conference Final series loss to

the Medicine Hat Tigers. He was considered the team’s

best forward in the final playoff series.

Figren was never known for backing down, but after a year

in the physical WHL, he has become as aggressive as ever.

Not a big forward at 5-11, 176 pounds, Figren throws his

weight around as well as anyone, using his speed and low

center of gravity as an advantage over his bigger

counterparts.

ORANGE&BLUEChippers:

Islanders Summer 2007 Prospects Camp

Unfortunately Figren suffered an injury at the end of the

2006-07 season causing him to sit out of the on-ice drills

during this summer’s Prospects Camp. However, that

didn’t keep him from being one of the hardest workers off

the ice while in the weight room.

Despite the frustration of watching the on-ice camp from

outside the boards, Figren never lost his effervescent

smile, which kept everyone around him upbeat.

What They're Saying...

Islanders Assistant GM Ryan Jankowski: “Robin made a

huge step in his career by coming to North America to play

for the Calgary Hitmen. The adjustment wasn’t as easy as

he had hoped, and Robin had many ups and downs in his

first season in the WHL. Whether or not the offensive

production was there, Robin continued to play hard and

compete at a high level in most games. The second half of

Robin’s first season was slightly better, but what was most

encouraging was his playoff performance.”

Before he was a Hitman

Born in Stockholm, Sweden, it was only natural for Figren

to join a Swedish Junior team, which he did for much of his

teenage years. Flipping back and forth between the Junior

Under-20 and Under-18 leagues from 2003-04 to 2005-06,

Figren recorded 30-33-63 in 66 games regular season

games and 10-6-16 in 16 playoff contests.

In April of 2006, Figren represented Sweden in the Under-

18 World Junior Championship, where he compiled 3-2-5

in six contests.

What's Next?

This season, Figren is playing for the newly formed

Edmonton Oil Kings of the WHL. After playing a year to

adjust to the North American-style of play, Figren looks to

take on a more prominent role in his second year in the

WHL. By ending on a high note with an impressive playoff

performance, Figren showed that he’s ready to take his

game to the next level this season and increase his

responsibilities.

“It’s a great opportunity for me to play with a new

organization,” said Figren. “I’m hoping to have more of a

leadership role with them and improve my game.”

“It is always difficult for the European kids to come to a

foreign land and make the adjustment to a different style of

hockey,” said Jankowski. “What was best to see was that

he peaked at the end of last season when his team needed

him most and laid the foundation for this season.”
