New York Islanders right wing Tim Jackman, defenseman Radek Martinek and forward Mike Sillinger visited Winthrop-University Hospital's Hagedorn Pediatric Inpatient Center and the Child Life playroom on December 17 to spread cheer among young patients who were hospitalized during the holiday season. The players spent time visiting patients in their rooms, handing out toys and blankets donated by the NHL and autographing Islander yearbooks.
"Every year, our patients eagerly look forward to a visit from their favorite New York Islanders," said AnnMarie DiFrancesca, Director of Winthrop's Child Life Program. "Winthrop's Child Life Program is truly appreciative of the team's efforts to continuously make special holiday memories for our young patients."
