The New York Islanders, colloquially known as the Isles, are a professional ice hockey team based in Elmont, New York, that competes in the National Hockey League as a member of the Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference and plays its home games at UBS Arena. Founded in 1972 as part of the league's effort to keep a team from the rival World Hockey Association out of the newly built Nassau Coliseum, the club won four consecutive Stanley Cup championships from 1980 to 1983, the eighth of nine dynasties the NHL recognizes, and won 19 consecutive playoff series between 1980 and 1984. After years of money, ownership and arena problems the team moved to Barclays Center in Brooklyn after the 2014-15 season, and it opened its new arena near Belmont Park in 2021. Ten former members of the Islanders have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
