The New York Islanders will host auditions for their 2010-11 Ice Girls team on Saturday, July 10 at 12 p.m. at the Nassau Coliseum. All participants must be a minimum of 18 years of age (as of October 1, 2010).

All skaters in this year’s audition must wear a form fitting crop top, athletic fit pants and have figure skates. IslandersTV will record the auditions and place them on the team’s web-site video portal. Participants are asked to bring a photo and resume, as well having hair and make-up prepared prior to the auditions. On the day of auditions, participants must enter through the Coliseum Box-Office. 

On Saturday, June 5, the Islanders will host “Pre-Auditions” for the 2010-11 Ice Girls Squad at Islanders IceWorks in Syosset at 12:30 p.m. This informal clinic will allow interested candidates to test their skating abilities, meet with the Islanders Ice Girls coach and inquire about the requirements for becoming a member of the NHL’s original Ice Girl team.

The Islanders Ice Girls started prior to the 2001-02 National Hockey League season and were the first team of its kind in the NHL. Over 20 NHL teams now have Ice Squads that assist with the league requirements in ice maintenance at home games as well as team promotions and community events throughout the year.
