I have to admit that I couldn't even recall that there was previously a Kansas City Hockey Team. Well, in the 70's it was the scouts (See KC Scout RC of Randy Kota above).
This past week, it was announced that the New York Islanders will be playing a preseason game in Kansas City as a potential "showcase". Let this be a warning for all New York Islander fans. If we want to keep the NEW YORK ISLANDERS around forever, we are going to have to start taking action now. This is no longer a joke. This is no longer a situation of being patient. We need to help deliver results.
What will I do when the Islanders are gone? Watch Ranger-Scout games once in a while? Be forced to order NHL Center Ice to catch the Scout games in the Midwest?
As of this moment, I am joining the fight. I am ready to do my part to keep the New York Islanders on Long Island. I am not sure what my part entails? Maybe writing this article is a start. I'll probably need to do more than that as I'm not certain how many people will actually get a chance to read this article.
This fight, and I will call it a fight, will require the help of all in the tri-state area. If the Ranger fans and Devil fans jump on the bandwagon that will exponentially increase our numbers. I'm sure they will miss driving to Nassau for the division rivalry games. I'm sure the rivalry will lose some steam when it's the Kansas City Chiefs and not the New York Islanders. Intensity will be lost. Passion will be gone.
Even though the Islanders are not a winning team nowadays, this is one fight that we must not lose.
