Their 19 consecutive playoff series wins between 19 is a feat that remains unparalleled in the history of professional sports. The Islanders won four consecutive Stanley Cup championships between 19, the seventh of eight dynasties recognized by the NHL in its history. After two years of building up the team's roster, they found almost instant success by securing 14 straight playoff berths starting with their third season.
The team was founded in 1972 as part of the NHL's maneuvers to keep a team from rival league World Hockey Association (WHA) out of the newly built Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in suburban Uniondale, New York. The Islanders are one of three NHL franchises in the New York metropolitan area, along with the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers, and their fanbase resides primarily on Long Island. The Islanders compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference, and play their home games at UBS Arena. The New York Islanders (colloquially known as the Isles) are a professional ice hockey team based in Elmont, New York.
