Birth of a Dynasty: The 1980 New York Islanders

by Alan Hahn Narrated by Tony Messano

Overview

The National Hockey League saw the birth of a new dynasty in 1980. The New York Islanders had been an expansion franchise in 1972 in the New York City suburbs of Long Island. For years they played in the long shadow of the big-city New York Rangers and were considered the league's laughingstock during their first season. Miraculously, eight years later, they were champions. Newly revised, Birth of a Dynasty: The 1980 New York Islanders is the story of how it happened, how it came together, and what it felt like to be there.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Baby boomer Islanders fans who want to relive their glory days should pick up a copy of Birth of a Dynasty. Hahn does a terrific job discussing the state of hockey in our area in the late 1970s when the Rangers-Islanders rivalry was first starting to heat up." —Lloyd Carroll, Queens Chronicle
