The Bridgeport Islanders, the AHL affiliate of the New York Islanders, are looking for a fresh start as they unveil a new logo in anticipation of the 2024-2025 season. 

The Islanders struggled through the past season where they finished last in the AHL's Atlantic Division, missing the playoffs for the second straight season. They look to start fresh, adding a few solid, experienced collegiate players to their roster, to help them in their quest to climb back up the Atlantic Division's rankings as they look to get back in the Calder Cup conversation. 

It will definitely be a tough task as the team finished not only last in the division but last overall in the AHL a year ago, going 25-38-7-2.

The Islanders have had a busy off-season rebranding not only their team but their personnel as well. The team was faced with numerous departures, but fills them with talented prospects including forward Justin Gill and defenseman Wyatt Newpower. Two other star newcomers to help bolster the defense are Calle Odelius and Isaiah George the Islanders' second and fourth round picks in 2022 respectively. Alex Jeffries, a former Hobey Baker finalist, joined Bridgeport after a successful collegiate career and looks to translate that success to the professional level.

The good news is that the Islanders have plenty of promising youth to generate competition and strengthen the team as they look to slowly get things going on the right track again. The Islanders have plenty of talent incoming, it's just a matter of how quickly these players will be able to adjust. 

The Islanders start their season at home for the first time since 2016, hosting the Providence Bruins at 7 p.m. on October 12th as they look to start the season off strong.
