A hockey town or baseball burgh

The Islanders are a world apart and a Long Island Railroad commute away, with a terrible arena and a team still trying to overcome the succession of awful ownerships and managements that followed the glory years.

When was the last time Frei saw an Islander game or went to
Nassau Coliseum? Sure hockey does not get the nod over baseball and I do not think ever will during the regular season, but the team has turned things around.
