From their origins and community growth to their presence at UBS Arena, discover how this dedicated fan group has united Islanders fans across Brazil.
What’s up, Elmonters! This week has been designated fan week, as I have a handful of interviews with different accounts within the Islanders community, including some fans who live outside of the United States in Canada, to learn about their origin story.
After learning more about Miranda from Australia, today, you will learn about New York Islanders Brasil, which you can follow on X @NYIBR and on Instagram @nyislandersbr.
From their unlikely beginnings on X to seeing their banner hang inside UBS Arena, New York Islanders Brasil has grown into a passionate community that bridges thousands of miles.
In this interview, the women behind NYI Brasil share how it all started, what it means to be recognized by the team, and how they continue to bring Islanders fans together across Brazil.
