Islanders Hockey Club

In October of 2016, the USPHL announced that they had applied to USA Hockey for approval to add a Tier II junior league beginning with the 2017–18 season. Two months later, the petition was denied. Instead of ending their plans, the USPHL withdrew from USA Hockey oversight and organized the National Collegiate Development Conference. The Islanders Hockey Club took advantage of the league by founding a new Tier II franchise and joining for the inaugural season. ==Season-by-season records==

The Islanders also field teams in the USPHL Premier and Elite Divisions (equivalent to the former Tier III Junior B designation). The former Junior B team competed in the Eastern Conference of the Empire Junior Hockey League (EmJHL) prior to its joining the USPHL as the Empire Division (later USP3 Division and then Elite Division). ==Notes and references==
