A storied sports franchise…a world class arena…the best fans…
AND YOU
Original – Authentic – Vibrant – Attainable
Our Game Plan
The New York Islanders Hockey Club is one of the most iconic franchises in professional sports, with a deeply passionate and loyal fan base that is second to none. Built on a Dynasty in the 1980’s with four straight Stanley Cup Championships and 19 consecutive playoff series wins, our history has defined a legacy that remains untouched in professional sports. That legacy inspires us to leave our mark in the sports, entertainment, and cultural landscape.
In 2021, the New York Islanders moved to our new permanent home, UBS Arena. This state-of-the-art venue, which was built for hockey and made for music, is nestled within the historic Belmont Park – a storied landmark of New York. UBS Arena features best in class facilities and amenities, including premium suites, clubs, and lounges that offer boutique hospitality to elevate the guest experience. UBS Arena is part of a larger redevelopment project at Belmont Park, which aims to transform the area into a vibrant entertainment destination with the opening of Belmont Park Village in 2024 and the new Belmont Park Racetrack in 2026.
How to Make the Team
The Media Relations Internship teaches the role of public relations within a professional team setting. This is a great opportunity for any aspiring public relations professional or journalist to learn the team-side of the business. You will assist with preparing and distributing credentials, contributing to game notes, press box management, statistical research and more, all the while working with New York sports media. Game Day staff will assist with duties during all Islanders preseason, regular season and playoff home games throughout the 2025-26 season, beginning in September 2025.
**Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.**
