The New York Islanders don’t have one of the largest fanbases in the league. But fans can be found just about everywhere in the world. Even on an island out in the Atlantic ocean with a population ten times smaller than Brooklyn; Iceland.

When’s the last time you thought about Iceland? Mighty Ducks 2 where Iceland dominated the junior hockey world with coach Wolf Stansson? Or maybe you watched the recent Euro soccer championship where tiny Iceland beat mighty England in the knockout round of the tournament? What if I told you that the New York Islanders have themselves an unofficial ambassador living on that arctic island?
