I love the Schaefer family more than words ❤️ Todd, Johnny, Sam, Zara… you have been the backbone and strength to Matt no one sees behind the scenes🤍 To beautiful Jennifer, you were clearly a mother that was incomparable in love and compassion and I know you are always by his side…
Last Friday, I set up a golf day for Marty’s birthday and I got a snapchat from Schaef… a lady bug (a sign he always gets from his mom) had landed on him during their round. She’s always present and it was like she wanted to give him a little hint to this day 😂
Your unanimous Calder Trophy Recipient couldn’t be more well deserved ❤️
Kyle Palmieri, the @NYIslanders 2025-26 King Clancy nominee, penned a piece on how important supporting military families is and his connection to the cause with his sister and brother-in-law.
Through the Kyle Palmieri Foundation, a nonprofit that aims to honor the sacrifice of service members, he has welcomed 2,300+ military families to games and has given $330,000+ to organizations serving veterans.

Felt the need to point out the astonishing season Mathew Schaffer accomplished in his rookie season
No one guaranteed he would make the team, and he wins the Calder and you could make a case for Norris as well as Hart.
The NHL waited forever for Bobby Orr, now Schaffer arrives
@NYIslanders we must talk about the disorder of this organization. Since 2024, the Islanders have gone from Lane Lambert to Patrick Roy to Pete DeBoer. That is three coaches in two years. maybe the problem isn't the man behind the bench, but the people on the ice.
