Based in Elmont, New York, the team is a member of the Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference and plays its home games at UBS Arena. They are one of three NHL teams in the New York metropolitan area, with a fanbase concentrated primarily on Long Island.
The organization is notable for its historic success, having won four consecutive Stanley Cup championships in the early 1980s. This established a lasting legacy within the league. As a core franchise in a major media market, their games and performance are consistently followed by a large and dedicated fanbase.
Recently, the Islanders have been in the news due to their on-ice performance and related game events.
