Relive a notable chapter of New York hockey history with our Capital District Islanders T-shirt, celebrating their 1990-93 tenure in the AHL. The Islanders, serving as the New York Islanders' primary affiliate, played their home games at Houston Field House on the RPI campus in Troy. The team brought high-level professional hockey to the Albany-Troy region, developing future NHL talent while building a dedicated following in New York's Capital District. Despite solid attendance and their NHL affiliation, the franchise was rebranded as the Albany River Rats in 1993 when they became affiliated with the New Jersey Devils, marking the end of this brief but significant era in Capital Region hockey.
