On Thursday, the Bridgeport Islanders [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-islanders/latest-news/rocky-thompson-s-plan-to-building-a-winning-culture-in-bridgeport] announced their entire 2025-26 season. As part of their 25th anniversary, they've also announced that they will have 14 Sound Tigers Saturdays. Before changing their name to the Bridgeport Islanders ahead of the 2021-22 season, they were the Bridgeport Sound Tigers since 2000. It was cool, having a different name than their NHL affiliate, which created a passionate fan base in Connecticut. PHOTO: Bridgeport Islanders.
