From Islanders Visit Viscardi

Yesterday, December 7^th, the New York Islanders visited Viscardi. This marks the 35^th year that the Islanders have visited our school. The Islanders took time to answer questions from our students, played an action packed game of hockey and signed yearbooks for our students. The Islanders that visited and participated in the hockey match were: MIKE MOTTAU, PA PARENTEAU, and DAVID ULLSTROM. Team Viscardi was victorious in the hockey match winning 10-2.

Our students were very excited to interact with the New York Islanders and enjoyed their visit tremendously. Thanks Islanders for taking the time to visit with us! We look forward to their returning in the future so we can honor them for their years of service as well as to take on our students once again in another hockey match.
