New York Islanders Snapback Hats
One of the six teams that joined the NHL in 1967 during the league's original expansion from six to twelve teams the New York Islanders took less than a decade and a half to go from fledgling team to dynastic powerhouse.
From 1979 to 1984 the Islanders were the class of the NHL. During that span the team, powered by Hall of Famers Mike Bossy, Bryan Trottier and Denis Potvin, reached the Stanley Cup Finals 5 straight times, winning 19 straight playoff series - an NHL record - along the way. The "Drive for Five" was finally stopped by the Edmonton Oilers - a dynasty in their own right - in 1984 that marked a changing of the guard in the NHL.
Though the team hasn't been able to make it back to the finals for another crack at Lord Stanley's mug they look to finally be making strides in the right direction. Young stars like John Tavares, Michael Grabner, Kyle Okposo and Matt Moulson are all locked up for at least the next three seasons and as they mature into superstars they should help bring the Isles back to respectability. Whether you are an old time Isles' fan who remembers the glory days or you want to cheer the new team back to playoff contention get geared up. Buy your New York Islanders snapback hat today.
