For Immediate Release
Starbridge Media Group, Inc. has created an original team-themed children’s publication for the New York Islanders, company CEO Jamie Crittenberger announced today.
The book, which introduces a newly-created, team-related cast of characters, is targeted to elementary-to-middle school students, and is tied to the team’s educational and community outreach initiatives. Set in the Long Island community, the book’s characters embark on a journey to learn about the values of teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship.

With the publication part of a larger Islanders kids’ initiative, the content and characters from the children’s book may also be used in multiple platforms to populate the Islanders Kids Club, educational, and outreach programs.
“Helping kids learn through creative ways involving sports is a major tenet of our company,” said Starbridge President Ken Hutman. “We are very excited to be partnering with the New York Islanders to create and promote this impactful educational community initiative.”
