About Me

The NY Islanders is a hockey club in the Eastern Conference of the NHL. In the 30 years of thier existance, they have won the the cup 4 times. All in a row in the early 80's. Do to bad ownership, they hit hard times in the 90's. Until they where bought by Wang & Kumar.With the new ownership they have gone from a team that was at the bottom of the barrel in the NHL to one of the toughest teams in the league to play. We will bring that cup back home to Long Island where it belongs!!!
