Apparently Mark Katic is very media-friendly

...he called his hometown newspaper in Timmons Ontario to tell them about his
recall. Timmons is a town of about 43,000 people (although it cover over 1100
square miles --an area slightly bigger than Rhode Island)

Mark Katic called up to the Islanders for another game
By Mike Mulryan, Times Sports Columnist

At 5:00 p.m. today (Tuesday) Mark Katic called me to let me know he has been
called up again by the New York Islanders for tomorrow's game versus New
Jersey. Mark's Mom and Dad are on their way to Portland thinking they are going
to watch Mark in an AHL game. Mark is trying to get a hold of his parents to
let them know to head to Long Island instead to watch him play in the NHL
instead. Here's hoping Mark stays and finishes the season with the Isles.>>
