'AL'
Gameworn 2015/2016.
The Islanders wear this patch as a memorial to their former head coach Al Arbour who passed away on August 28, 2015 at age 82.
Arbour was the Islanders long time head coach and led them to four straight Stanley Cups (1980-83), an NHL-record 19 consecutive playoff series wins and remains the second-winningest coach in league history.
