About this listen

There have been few seasons by a professional sports team as bad as the New York Islanders' inaugural 1972-73 season. However, the lessons learned on and off the ice served as a crucial building block for the team's quick turnaround. And eventual, dynasty. 'Hapless Islanders' is the first-ever book to thoroughly study this era of the team, mixing brand new interviews with those directly involved, along with archival material. And also, serving as a study of the rough n' tough playing style of the NHL at the time, Long Island history, plus, the early '70s in general.

Critic reviews

"Having covered hockey for more than a half-century, I've become accustomed to reading high-quality books about the ice game. Greg Prato's original work, 'Dynasty,' proved to be one of the very best, most comprehensive histories of the Islanders ever written. I doubted that he could follow that work with another winner. But 'Hapless Islanders' proves that Prato is a hockey historian blessed with a deluxe style when it comes to telling a good story. Bravo – again!" –STAN FISCHLER, 2024
