Chase Conlon is a smooth-skating defenseman from Arizona. Chase has taken a big step in terms of his offensive production this year.   Chase couldn't be more excited about the next step of his career. 

“I’m excited to sign my tender with the Islanders Hockey Club,” said Conlan. “They have all of the resources you need to reach the next level, and I can’t wait to get started. I can’t thank the Elite Hockey Academy enough for improving me immensely as a player and as a person.”

The U18 team hit the road for an afternoon game in Long Island vs the LI Royals on Thursday.  The 18s look to make a playoff push with the next two weekend ahead.

The Islanders Hockey Club has a long history of sending players to Division 1 and the pro ranks. The program has produced many players that have gone to Hockey East and ECAC Schools.

A tender is a contract, of sorts, a player signs announcing his intentions to play for that particular NCDC team and that NCDC team only. Once a player signs a tender with an NCDC team, his playing rights belong to that team within the NCDC and he may not be recruited by any other NCDC team.
