Welcome to Islanders Army
September 5th, 2006 by murph
Welcome to Islanders Army, a new blog dedicated to covering the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League. Islanders Army is starting out as a two man team of die-hard, lifelong, Islanders fans who grew up in the Islanders’ heyday of the early 1980’s. One of us is a computer geek who set all this up and still plays men’s league hockey (me), the other (Tom) is an real journalist with an actual degree and job in journalism. “So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice…”.
I had a desire to start a blog but couldn’t choose a topic and Tom had a desire to write about a topic he really cared about. Blogging about the Islanders was one of the ideas I was tossing around, and with the season coming up quickly we decided to go for it.
We are going to cover Islanders games, news, events, Islander-related materials on the Internet, and general hockey news. Your comments and suggestions are welcome. You can contact us at ISLANDERSARMY@GMAIL.COM. We’ve setup an account on YouTube.com to share videos with you, here are our first two.

great idea for a site….with all the disfunction going on right now there should be no shortage of topics and talk!

First comment ever. I owe you a coliseum beer. Thanks! Hopefully someday we’ll be covering Stanley Cup #5 here at Islanders Army.

Hey, very nice blog! The strange DiPietro signing reminded me of the pending season and a quick search turned up this very promising venture!
