#8 – J.J. Rosato
Islander Family, Friends and Followers,
It is with great heart break that I have to inform all Islander Family and Friends of the loss of J.J. Rosato last evening in his sleep. J.J. Rosato was an 8-year-old boy who loved the game of hockey and wore #8 as a member of the Islander 2007 Elite 2014/2015 team. I was one of the fortunate people who got to spend a lot of time with J.J. and will never forget his everlasting smile every moment he spent at the rink. J.J. spent yesterday doing what he loved best – playing a hockey game in the morning, having fun with family and friends in the afternoon and going to a Hockey East hockey game last night. J.J.’s parents – Jim and Chelsea – are exemplary parents always providing support and fun for everyone with Chelsea’s highlight coloring of the boy’s hair during the Islander 2007 championship playoff run last year. I ask all Islander Nation to say a prayer for J.J. and his family.
