The Islanders began their affiliation with the ECHL's Stockton Thunder last season and announced today that the affiliation was renewed for a second season.
Four Islanders prospects suited up for the Thunder last season including Kirill Kabanov who has since went over seas and Andrey Pedan both of who are former third round picks. Ten other players who ended the season on the Thunders roster saw time in Bridgeport last season including Riley Wetmore, Ben Rosen, and Parker Milner.
This affiliation is a good thing for the Islanders as it gives the team an additional development tool which is never bad.
