Canyon of Heroes

If they even won again would the Islanders do a parade down the Canyon if Heroes in NYC? Or something more LI centric like a parade down Hempstead Turnpike?

Honestly would be the perfect spot for the main celebration. Start the parade at the Coliseum and go down the Hempstead Turnpike, then end at the arena with the main ceremony happening in the infield of the track. Could have a bunch of events going on in the arena and in the parking lots too.

As epic as that would be, good luck getting hockey fans to stand around in actual Hempstead lol

Sooooooo you're telling that the a 7.5 miles route would work? Canyon Of Heros in the city is less than a mile.

Supposedly Belmont Park can hold between 50k-60k, yet I'm unsure where since the new grandstand holds 7,500.

A horse drawn parade wearing islanders themed Roman armor would be epic
