The Islanders Hockey Club are an American Tier II junior ice hockey organization from Tyngsborough, Massachusetts. The Islanders are members of the United States Premier Hockey League's National Collegiate Development Conference.
History 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.
