"I think I can still play better," Hamrlik said in the New York Times. "For me, it's more important to bring my `A' game — every night, every shift, every period." Hamrlik represented the Eastern Conference after previously being part of the North America vs. The World format the NHL adapted, but ended after the prior season. Hamrlik skated in 300 games for the Islanders, scoring 43 goals and 110 assists for 153 points.
