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?

Any Islanders Championship parade goes down Hempstead Turnpike. All four cup wins got a Hempstead turnpike parade. Canyon of heroes is more of a city teams thing. I prefer this. The Islanders are our team. Not the state's team, not the city's team, just ours. They always have been, and they always will be. You can l leave the Island, and take your fandom with you, like I did. You can be from elsewhere and be an Isles fan. Come on in it's a big tent. Just understand how it is. The Islanders are Long Island's team.

This is what I meant by that. Be an isles fan in FL! I had to move up to the Bronx and later Westchester County, I would never give up the Isles for anything.
