If it were up to Barry Trotz, he would have hidden somewhere within the bowels of UBS Arena on Saturday night rather than be the subject of Islanders fans' adoration. 'I was hoping I wouldn't get any reception, quite frankly,' Trotz said. 'I don't mind being sort of anonymous.'
The former Islanders head coach, Barry Trotz, received a standing ovation from the UBS Arena crowd and expressed his appreciation for the memories and friends he made during his time with the team. Trotz will always be remembered for his role in transforming the team's fortunes.
When I came here, Lou had a really strong vision that he wanted, the Islander pride, Trotz said. A big part of that was where we were playing. We were a little bit nomadic. I feel very fortunate to be a part of that.'
