Every Single Game

stylized photos: Mikey watching hockey with a tired face under his blanket, islander logo on the middle of the ice during a faceoff

Mikey tunes in for every Islander game that starts while he’s awake. He doesn’t stay up for West Coast road trip games, but he catches at least part of every game they play on the East Coast.

journal entry: “i love watching hockey! I am going to watch more this weekend.” photo of mikey tired but trying to focus from under his blanket on the couch, photo of faceoff at center ice on the TV islanders logo

When he starts to get tired (as he seems to be in this journal entry), he cuddles up under his blanket on the couch and fights to focus for as long as possible.

Mikey is a true fan!
