The Horn Identity: Islanders fans bond through parking-lot tradition at Coliseum

At the end of the day, all Islanders fans really want to do is honk.

In a tradition that might be as old as the Islanders, fans celebrate each victory at Nassau Coliseum by honking their car horns to the beat of the "Let's go, Is-land-ers!" chant. The sound of that rhythmic beating is as predictable as the traffic jam leaving the parking lot.

But with the Islanders headed to Brooklyn next season, their fans realize it's going to be nearly impossible to take this postgame honking ritual with them. Sure, some still may drive to Barclays Center, but the majority of fans surely will arrive by train.
