High hopes for the Islanders as they open their new barn. 

The 2021-22 season is beginning for the National Hockey League. A few teams have high hopes of winning a championship this season, and the New York Islanders are among those who think they could win the Stanley Cup on a few short months.

New faces will impact the Islanders’ hopes of making another deep playoff run this year. Some are young, and one old friend is back in the fold.

Here are the players who will be participating in the Islanders’ training camp in the coming weeks:
