Oliver Wahlstrom’s education was split between the rink and the classroom at this time last year. There’s no dividing his attention now as the 11th overall pick in 2018 heads toward his first training camp with the Islanders.
“Education is important but college is not for everyone, I guess,” Wahlstrom said on Sunday as the Islanders opened their four-day rookie camp in East Meadow, which culminates with a prospects’ game against the Flyers on Wednesday night in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
