New York Islanders Company Description
These Islanders need to be surrounded by frozen water to be successful. Gotham's other hockey team, the New York Islanders entered the National Hockey League in 1972 and dominated the league in the early 1980s: The franchise won four consecutive Stanley Cup titles until its streak was ended in 1984 by the Wayne Gretzky-led Edmonton Oilers. More recently, the team has struggled on the ice, leading to a decline in ticket sales at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Former CA executive Charles Wang has owned the Islanders franchise and its home arena since 2000.
