Barry Trotz, Islanders issued a 'get out of work early' pass to Isles fans ahead of home opener



The New York Islanders opened up their 2019-20 season at home against the Washington Capitals on Friday night and Barry Trotz wanted to make sure fans coming to the game were hooked up to get there a little early.

On Friday afternoon, Trotz met with the media to discuss his team’s home opener and mentioned that he thought about issuing a “get out of work early” pass for fans with tickets to the game.

Trotz mentioned it in the scrum and the Isles’ social media team delivered almost immediately as they drafted up an official “get out of work early” contract and posted it for all of their fans.

Teams do this all the time, especially during the playoffs, but we hope there are some bosses out there who accept these as legitimate reasons to let their workers leave early.
