With new coach Scott Gordon in place and goalie Rick DiPietro coming back, the New York Islanders seem to be ready to go into 2008-09.
A strong start, though, may be the key to sell New York Islanders Tickets. The team will need to get the fan base excited about a playoff run in order to keep the Nassau Coliseum filled for the entire season.
But even if the Islanders do falter, Long Island is the best place to get cheap NHL tickets, with Madison Square Garden being sold out and the Prudential Center charging premium prices.
Regardless, Islander Hockey is a great place to watch young players play. Kyle Okposo is an up and coming star with the Isles working on getting other youngsters from Bridgeport up to help the club.
If it works, tickets to Nassau Coliseum may become as popular as New York Giants Tickets or Broadway shows and musicals, which is the way it was for the Isles back in the 1980s.

Indeed. It has to start somewhere. I know some Isle fans are uncomfortable or upset with the word, “rebuild”, but this is the reality of our situation. What Garth has done in terms of drafting and the prospects we have collected is extremely important to the future of this team. Thus, supporting the boys at every stage, regardless of where we might sit in the standings at any point this season, is critical. Patience … I know we, as Islander fans, have had to demonstrate a remarkable amount of this often short commodity, but it is as important as ever to be … patient … with our team. Fill the seats and cheer them on. A team can’t ask for much more than that. In the end, we will be repaid with future seasons and performances we can be proud of.
