Schremp To Make Isles Debut

Here are the lines the Isles used at practice yesterday:

Moulson-Tavares-Okposo
Bergenheim-Weight-Sim
Schremp-Bailey-Hunter
Comeau-Park-Jackman
Tambellini-Thompson-Rechlicz

After practice Rechlicz was sent to the Sound Tigers. The newest member of the Islanders, Rob Schremp, will be used on a line with Bailey and Hunter. Looks like Tambellini and Thompson are out for tomorrow night.

Isles say they got Schremp to give him a shot at the NHL level, they should give him 15 to 20 games and decide from there. Tambellini has had his chance.

Weight And Comeau In For Thursday

Doug Weight and Blake Comeau are ready for Thursday's game against Ottawa. With Weight coming off injury reserve someone will have to be moved off the Islanders' roster.

Isles say Rechlicz is sent to Bridgeport, but who else comes out of the game lineup?

Islanders Original Owner Dies

Roy Boe (centre), who was the original owner of the New York Islanders, has died. He was 79. Islanders ownder Charles Wang released the following statement:

“On behalf of the New York Islanders organization we would like to extend our sincere condolences to the entire Boe family. It was Roy Boe’s vision that enabled Long Island to become home of an NHL franchise and create a rich hockey history here.”

Boe owned the Islanders from 1972 until 1978. He also owned the New York Nets of the American Basketball Association and an AHL team in Worcester, Mass. In 2001 he founded the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, who remain the Isles minor league affiliate, which he sold to Wang in 2005.
