It is a decent amount of time to get a sense of where the organization’s young players stand before they are thrown into the fire with the veterans.
The Islanders officially hit the ice for rookie camp on Thursday, with NHL players following next week. Because the team did not hold a development camp over the summer, the time devoted to prospects over the coming week essentially makes up for that, with five on-ice days before the NHL camp starts.
The winger played 50 games for the Islanders last season, vastly more than anyone he’ll be facing over the next week. He should stand head and shoulders above everyone else. “He’s big, he can shoot, he can score, he’s very good on the power play,” Bridgeport coach Rick Kowalsky said in July. “Has to work on his quickness, his intensity, his heaviness on the puck at times.”
“His speed, his ability to score, things I saw in training camp — he wants the puck, he knows where to go on the ice, he works to get there,” Kowalsky said. “And he’s a competitive kid.”George already made a bit of news going into camp, inking his three-year entry-level deal with the Islanders on Wednesday. So the former London Knight can be penciled into Bridgeport’s roster for now.
