While the New York Islanders are on a mission in Raleigh to take Game Two from the Carolina Hurricanes, Sparky the Dragon was raising the excitement back home on Long Island, delivering playoff gear to the patients at Cohen Children's Medical Center on Wednesday.
"The Islanders bring people together," Erin Tuttle, Lead Child Life Specialist at Cohen, said. "They can watch a game together in a playroom, roommates that are sharing a room together can talk about it. Parents are really into it. It really forms another type of community within the hospital, it's really special."
