Islanders fans traveled far and wide to attend the team’s season home opener at UBS Arena in Elmont on Oct. 10.

Families and friends alike had fun at The Park at UBS Arena last week as the Islanders faced the Utah Hockey Club.

Sports fans enjoyed live music, pizza and s’mores, skated on Northwell Pond and tested their hockey skills with games like bullseye battle, accuracy challenge and hardest shot.

A caricature artist created memories for fans who were drawn to remember the day’s festivities. The kids zone hosted a slew of fun for young fans with games like the slap shot booth, double overtime obstacle challenge, center ice moon bounce, Northwell mini golf and an all-foam dunk tank.
