Mathieu Darche fixing Islanders' relationship with fans
Briefly

Mathieu Darche, the New York Islanders' general manager, wrote a letter to fans as a gesture of transparency after two months of new team management. He discussed trading star player Noah Dobson, drafting Matthew Schaefer first overall, and making strategic moves in free agency. Darche expressed gratitude for the support from fans and emphasized a commitment to a fast, defensively sound team. He also noted the organization’s strong future as they embark on a new journey with fans, who had lacked this level of communication for years under former leadership.
We executed on our plan for the NHL Draft and free agency, and are thrilled with the acquired talent. We will continue working towards next season.
Thank you for welcoming my family and me to Long Island. The New York Islanders' organization is first-class, and I am honored to represent the team.
At the draft party and throughout development camp, I saw the incredible passion of this fan base up close, and I can't wait to see you all at UBS Arena.
Over the past two months, we've spoken about having a team that plays with pace and is defensively sound. This remains our direction.
