Islanders Recruit Kitchener Defensemen Jamie Doornbosch for ATO
Next ATO, come on down. With Jack Hillen still hurt, the Islanders have grabbed another stopgap by lining up Doornbosch, 21, for an amateur tryout (ATO). He scored 19 goals and 29 assists in 68 games in his overage season with the OHL's Kitchener Rangers.

OOOOHHHHHH!!!!! I think I'm next!!!!!
I’ve never played D before, but I’ll just have to adjust. Actually, I’d never played wing or center either. Or goal. Shit, I can’t even ice skate….but I’m ready!!! Call me Garth /makes that little pinky/thumb to the head symbol indicating ‘call me’./
DixiePup on defense
I nominate my dog, DixiePup, to be the next Islander d-man. (Okay, technically a d-woman, d-dog, whatever.) She has been trained to hate Flyer jerseys so maybe she would bit Briere on his next dirty hit.
Dear Kenny Jonsson
I was wrong. Please forgive me. We saved your number for you.
Love,
the New York Islanders
We may be in the box, but you get the penalty.

Can he fight?
Then he will be all set to play tonight.
Kitchener Rangers
Doornbosch On Amateur Tryout Contract: was he let go by the KR? Did his contract run out and was not re-signed? How is he available now?
Their playoffs finished, and he was an overager (OHL team)

I really like this
For a couple of reasons. First and foremost, why not? What do we have to lose…its not like we are competeing for a playoff spot right now. I also like that this kid has decent size and has put up good offensive numbers for Kitchener.
By the way, this makes you wonder if the Isles aren’t spending a lot of time at Kitchener games looking at a different Ranger defenseman, this one a smaller draft elgible one who might be available when we draft this spring?
Of course every scout is spending a lot of time at Kitchener games
with both Murphy and Langeskog playing there. I had forgetton about Gabe. Both played well in the playoffs, Murphy with 11 points in 7 games and Langeskog with 6 goals and 10 points through 7.

1979-80

May 24, 1980: Tonelli to Nystrom. At long last, the steady build of the New York Islanders from expansion doormat to surprise semifinalist to annual contender reaches the promised land: Buoyed by a late season trade for Butch Goring that gave the team the depth up the middle GM Bill Torrey had been seeking, the Islanders knock off the Philadelphia Flyers in six games.
The victory justified the faith in coach Al Arbour who guided them from their second season to their first Stanley Cup seven seasons later. The Islanders would not be the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup, but they would be the only one capable of a dynasty.

May 21, 1981: This time it was much easier. After falling to "only" 91 points in the 1979-80 season, the Islanders returned to their division title tradition, piling up 110 points -- a whole 13 points over second-place Philadelphia.
Between the quarterfinals (where they beat the upstart Oilers in six games) and the finals, the Islanders reeled off eight consecutive wins -- with a four-game sweep of archrival Rangers in between. As they defeated the Minnesota North Stars in five games for their second Cup, their goal difference in the final was a combined +10.

May 16, 1982: Another year, another landslide title. The Islanders won the Patrick Division by a whopping 26 points over the second-place Rangers, and were seven points clear of their nearest competition for the President's Trophy, the still-not-quite-ripe Edmonton Oilers.
A first-round scare against the Pittsburgh Penguins turned in the Isles' favor thanks to John Tonelli's heroics, and a true dynasty was on its way: Past the Rangers in six games, then an eight-game sweep of the Quebec Nordiques and Vancouver Canucks to run away with the Stanley Cup.
1982-83

May 17, 1983: Not so fast, whipper-snappers. The Edmonton Oilers' steadily rising challenge for league supremacy took them all the way to the finals for the first time, where the New York Islanders summarily dispatched them in a four-game sweep. For the Islanders, the Dynasty was secured. For the Oilers, it was a powerful lesson in where talent ends and the demands of playoff hockey begin.
Four years, four Cups, 16 consecutive playoff series wins (a record that would grow to 19 until the rematch with the Oilers the following year). Mike Bossy scored 60 goals yet again, and Wayne Gretzky became acquainted with Billy Smith's crease.
