Good Morning, Islanders Country.
There are 25 players at Islanders rookie camp, and technically they are all there for the same reason.
Except they’re really not. For some, this is orientation. A chance to get comfortable, get stronger, get noticed, and maybe give the organization something to remember a year from now.
For others, this is already business. Isaiah George has plenty of NHL games on his résumé. Victor Eklund has already made his NHL debut. Cole Eiserman has had a taste of pro hockey and owns the kind of shot that makes people pay attention before he even gets through warmups.
They are not all standing at the same starting line.
That is what makes rookie camp interesting.
