N.Y. Islanders Hire Tampa Bay Lightning Assistant as General Manager
- On May 24, 2025, Mathieu Darche was appointed as the general manager of the New York Islanders, taking over the position following Lou Lamoriello's seven-year leadership.
- The Islanders parted with Lamoriello, whose contract was not renewed, amid a need to improve offense despite a reliable veteran core and a strong goalie in Ilya Sorokin.
- Darche, 48, joins after six seasons with Tampa Bay Lightning, including two Stanley Cup wins and playoffs every year, having served as assistant GM and director of hockey operations.
- John Collins, a co-owner who ran the GM search, praised Darche as “the perfect choice” and emphasized full resources to build a first-in-class team with the upcoming first overall draft pick.
- Darche’s hiring signals a focus on drafting and acquiring offensive talent to complement core veterans and Sorokin, while Lamoriello remains an adviser but has no hockey operations input.
