The league mandates that someone scoops up the ice shavings a certain amount of times each period. I appreciate that it is ICE GIRLS rather than the initial person they had doing it when the league first started mndating this. The origonal guy looked like ADAM SANDLER from his MTV days on the show REMOTE CONTROL. stop with the negativity and just enjoy. CB...YOU WERE RIGHT ,NO NEWS TO REPORT!! the ice girls arent a gimmick. The league mandates that someone scoops up the ice shavings a certain amount of times each period.

I would also love to see a copy of that headline in the Advance! Recently I was at a food establishment with my 3 year old while wearing an Islander cap...a man on his way out felt compelled to say the following: "Islanduzzzz???? Don't you know this is Ranger country???" Gotta love Staten Island. PS - My apologies to CB...did't mean to hijack the thread but us Isles fans have to bond when we can...=) 19 Isle in NJ 22: Great post…I did not know that about Showplace!

Hey, I'm all for provogitivally clad, tight, sexy bodies to look at between intermissions. I especially enjoy it when they perform snow shovel duties. Nice views from the stands.

I'm originally from Staten Island ... I can tell you ... SI was teaming with Islander fans ... I remember a time when there was no provincial attitude about the Islanders in Staten Island ... a headline in the sports section of the SI Advance in 79 before the Isles Rags series declaring in not so many words that SI was also Islander country. If you've ever been to Show Place Bowling (now motor vehicles) they had a HUGE picture of Denis Potvin hoisting the Cup ... not one picture of a Ranger in there .... :) ** Back to the ice girls... why the negative reaction to them? Honestly ... there is a rule that the home team has to provide ice clearing during TV time outs ... so who would you rather see? Guys in wind breakers shoveling snow like the old days?

Katie mentioned it, too. They cant force the newspapers care and talk about it over and over, can they? As far as the ice girls go, Im with Mike (29)- they are skaters who are doing a required job, there is nothing wrong with that at all. They do promotions too and are nice people, so whats the prob? Its not like they are all just dancing around in the aisles lol. Big Van Vader (24): They had it all over their site and many of the blogs mentioned it. Katie mentioned it, too.

The NHL made a rule that the home team must have people shovel the snow by the crease a certain amount of times during the game. If Wang were to fire the Ice Girls, he'd still have to hire more people to do the same job. I dont get why people want to fire the Ice Girls?

When I go to Fayeteville Fireantz games they have dancers that perform in the stands and girls can join the junior squad. Personally I wish they would expand the role of the Ice Girls even more to give young girls on LI something to strive for in the sporting and entertainment realm. Well that is until the NHL gets off it's but and creates the WHNL. I have three girls at home and things like this which I do not believe - exploits woman - are great. My question Chris, has being an Ice Girl given any of the IG alumni a launching pad for something greater? I think the Ice Girls are a great way to get young girls connected to the game.

It's an idea whose time should never have come and should go away as soon as possible. I’m not in favor of retaining the Ice Girls.
