#Isles #BornInBridgeport Matthew Highmore on being the only player on the Bridgeport roster to play in every game this season. He smiled and said: “Yeah, it’s nice. I just try to come in every day, be a great teammate, be a good leader, and go about my business. Ultimately, it’s about helping this team win. That’s what makes it so much fun—nights like this. Winning with this group, we have such a great group of guys who all want to win. It’s been awesome.”

#Isles #BornInBridgeport Bridgeport Islanders Roster Update: The Bridgeport Islanders have returned (G) Parker Gahagen on loan to Worcester (ECHL). The New York Islanders have reassigned (F) Gleb Veremyev from Bridgeport to Worcester (ECHL).

#Isles #BornInBridgeport Obviously, there’s a lot more that goes into this, but now is the time to give credit to Mathieu Darche and Rocky Thompson for truly putting their money where their mouth is. A year ago, the last thing you wanted was to be sent to Bridgeport. Now, players on the verge of turning pro (like Eiserman) and even those who could wait and push for an NHL roster spot out of camp next season (like Eklund) are choosing to go Bridgeport. Rocky made it clear this team wouldn’t be a punching bag, and Darche emphasized that improving player development would be a priority. The organization backed that up by bringing in high-level coaching. Rocky has set the tone, while David Cunniff, who has been highly spoken about by the defensemen I’ve talked to, has played a major role in preparing defensemen like Mitchell, Warren, and George to step into the Islanders lineup and make an impact. They also added Chad Kolarik, another strong hire, who has experience working with several Islanders prospects during their time with the NTDP. There isn’t a single player who didn’t improve this season in Bridgeport, everyone took a step forward in their development. And the most impressive part? All of this happened in just one year.
