Newly appointed New York Islanders General Manager and Executive Vice President, Mathieu Darche, addressed the media on June 24th ahead of the 2025 NHL Draft. Darche outlined a vision centered on fast-paced, aggressive hockey while reaffirming his commitment to both strong defense and team development—highlighting changes to the AHL coaching staff and a summer development camp for NCAA prospects. He emphasized that, barring something extraordinary, the Islanders with the Number 1 overall draft pick, are prepared to select “a special player” on June 27 in Los Angeles.

exited for the draft
Bring Hagens Home Guys
Misa is this generations Mike Bossy. 🎭
How refreshing is it to have our New GM ! As a fan since 76 Darche stands out from many GM’s before him. Very confident that Darche will be that guy who finally brings Pride back to this once extremely proud Franchise. I am sure Darche will do what’s best and make the Islanders winners again
I think he's taking Misa for sure. It sounded non committal to Schaefer and he mentioned he'll draft someone that can help immediately.
CONGRATS! And get it done, Cuz!!
