The New York Islanders are gearing up for training camp later this week under new head coach Peter DeBoer. When DeBoer assumed coaching duties late last season, he led the team through just four games, falling short of a playoff spot. Matthew Schaefer, the reigning rookie of the year, and new captain Bo Horvat are set to adapt to DeBoer’s coaching style, which focuses on establishing a clear identity for the team. DeBoer has a wealth of experience, having previously guided teams to two Stanley Cup Finals. Horvat's appointment as captain follows the departure of Anders Lee in free agency, and he looks to solidify leadership with support from teammates such as Kyle Palmieri, who is returning from injury.
