Chabrier was on the facility, then known as Twin Rinks Ice Middle, on the day it opened in 2014 as an 11-year-old. The Islanders moved operations to the rink in 2016.
So, naturally, it was exhausting for Chabrier, a Bayville native, to wipe the ear-to-ear grin off his face as he stood by his new locker within the Islanders’ swanky dressing room on the East Meadow observe facility throughout Monday’s first day of growth camp.
Making the second extra particular: Chabrier shared the ice with Ross Mitton and Marshall Warren, fellow Lengthy Islanders and outdated teammates from Portledge Faculty in Locust Valley.
