The Jr. Isles have a notable connection and supporter in the Islanders Head Coach Patrick Roy, who spent two years in peewee in the onset of his career and had a memorable experience in the international tournaments.

"I played in it and it was probably the one of the highlight of my career at the time," Roy said. "We had a good run my first year so for any kids that go there, it has to be a thrill."

The Islanders' bench boss is keyed in for the Jr. Isles stint up North. 

"I watched some replays of the [junior] Islanders," Roy said. "There was a good crowd, 10,000 people for peewee kids. They'll remember this for a long time, the kids are training and they have those pins. Just the vibe, it's a thrill for everyone. It certainly was for me in my two years in peewee."
