New York Islanders history
The NHL created the Islanders in 1972 partly to keep a rival WHA team out of the brand new Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale. After two years of roster building, the club made the playoffs 14 seasons in a row starting with its third season. Most fans live on Long Island, and many call the team the Isles.
From 1980 to 1983 the Islanders won four straight Stanley Cups. Their 19 playoff series wins in a row from 1980 to 1984 have never been matched in pro sports. No team in a major North American league has won four straight titles since. Home today is UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, which seats 17,255.
