Episode 8 - New York Islanders; Calypso Hockey - The Andre Ferguson Interview - a podcast by Tao MacLeod

The New York Islanders are a hockey club based on the East Coast of the USA. Having been around for close to five decades, the club was originally founded and organised by those from the Caribbean Islands - an influence which still drives the club today. In the eighth series of the Half Court Press Podcast we find out more about the Calypso hockey that is and has been played over the years by the New York Islanders from those involved. Tao MacLeod talks to a variety of hockey personalities who have coached, played for and generally been a part of the West Indian hockey community in New York.

Andre Ferguson hails from the twin Caribbean islands nation of Trinidad and Tobago. Having moved to the USA in 1988 and joined the New York Field Hockey Club upon his arrival. In those days, the New York side and the Islanders team were distinct and separate organisations. Having then been involved in the amalgamation of the two clubs, he provides us with a bit of the history on the evolution of the New York Islanders Hockey Club.
