"Every time you go into a city, or a new community where you don’t know too many people, it’s always nice to be welcomed by the people you are going to be dealing with everyday and it’s going to be great to interact with them."
It's an arranged marriage, but one that Islanders fans
and John Tavares are walking into happily.
He gets his formal introduction July 8 at 12:30 (open to the public), before mini-camp starts July 9. The Sunday, July 12 session of mini-camp is open to the public.
Many will fall in love instantly; some will begin plotting what part of his game
to pick apart after October's first loss. Such is hockey.
