It'll mark the first unofficial games to see Eiserman and 2022 third-round pick Quinn Finley, both of whom concluded their collegiate careers following the end of their 2025-26 seasons, and turned pro.
Players who won't be there include all Islanders' collegiate prospects, including 2023 second-round pick Danny Nelson and 2025 third-round pick Kamil Bednarik.
The Islanders' 2026 first-round pick, Malte Gustafsson, is not expected to attend due to the start of his SHL season with HV71.
It's an extremely exciting youth push for the organization as the Hamilton Hammers kick off their inaugural season with an injection of youth and skill from the Islanders' organization.
Hockey is back on Long Island in just 39 days, otherwise known as Rick DiPietro days until the first scrimmage of the year on home ice.
All told, the Islanders are doing everything they can to make this as exciting of a time as possible for everyone involved with the organization.
The Islanders have undergone a public reconstruction of their identity, from the closed-off, quiet organization under Lou Lamoriello to the sprawling, public-facing organization under Mathieu Darche.
That's continued over the course of the last 15 months and change, where the Islanders reinstated development camp in the first days of July, have an exclusive YouTube series "On The Island" that gives an inside look at every decision that gets made.
This summer, the access has only increased. The Islanders became the first organization to allow fans to design the club's third jersey, an unbelievable opportunity for fans.
That drew over 80,000 entries and now has an expanded finalist format, increasing the initial finalist count from 5 to 8.
After the Islanders release the finalists, fans will vote and select the winner, as forward-facing and public-driven as it can get.
