The '''Bridgeport Islanders''' are a professional [[ice hockey]] team playing in the [[American Hockey League]] (AHL). They are the AHL affiliate of the [[National Hockey League]]'s [[New York Islanders]], who own the franchise. The team started in [[2001–02 AHL season|2001–02 season]] and was purchased by the Islanders in 2004. The team is based in [[Bridgeport, Connecticut]] and plays their home games at the [[Total Mortgage Arena]].

==History==
{{see also|Professional ice hockey in Connecticut}}
[[File:Bridgeport Sound Tigers logo.svg|thumb|150px|left|alt=The Bridgeport Sound Tigers logo, used from 2001 to 2021|The Bridgeport Sound Tigers logo, used from 2001 to 2021]]
The '''Bridgeport Sound Tigers''' joined the [[American Hockey League]] as an expansion franchise in 2001 and were coached by [[Steve Stirling]]. The team's name referenced both the [[Long Island Sound]] where Bridgeport lies and the circuses of former resident [[P. T. Barnum]], with the Sound Tigers identity being unveiled at the [[Barnum Museum]].<ref>[https://www.bridgeportislanders.com/news/detail/this-day-in-history-sept-20-2000 TWENTY YEARS OF SOUND TIGERS], Bridgeport Islanders</ref> In their inaugural season, the team won their division and had the best regular season record to win the [[Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy]]. In the playoffs, they won the Eastern Conference championship and the [[Richard F. Canning Trophy]] to advance to the [[Calder Cup]] finals against the [[Chicago Wolves]]. They lost the series four games-to-one.<ref name="THN">{{cite web|last=Clinton|first=Jared|date=September 10, 2015|title=AHL Logo Ranking: No. 7 - Bridgeport Sound Tigers|url=http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/ahl-logo-ranking-no-7-bridgeport-sound-tigers|url-status=live|access-date=February 18, 2017|work=[[The Hockey News]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170218144203/http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/ahl-logo-ranking-no-7-bridgeport-sound-tigers |archive-date=2017-02-18 }}</ref>

In their [[2002–03 AHL season|second season]], the team finished second in their division and the fifth conference seed in the playoffs. They advanced to the conference semifinals, where they lost to their division champion [[Binghamton Senators]] in six games. Stirling was promoted to head coaching position with the [[New York Islanders]] and was replaced by [[Greg Cronin]] for 2003–04. As the Sound Tigers, the team had limited success, missing the playoffs ten times and not winning a playoff round since their second season.

On May 10, 2021, it was announced that the team would change its name to the Bridgeport Islanders beginning with the [[2021–22 AHL season|2021–22 season]].<ref name="BPTIslanders" />

The team finished the [[2024–25 AHL season|2024-25 season]] with a 15-50-4-3 record, their worst record in team history. Alongside this, they finished with a home record of 4-28-1-3, setting the record for the fewest home wins in a season for an AHL team.<ref>{{Cite web |last=read |first=Steven McGoey·1 min |date=2025-04-14 |title=Bridgeport Islanders Win Fewest Home Games In A Season In AHL History |url=https://sports.yahoo.com/article/bridgeport-islanders-win-fewest-home-185716815.html |access-date=2025-04-23 |website=Yahoo Sports |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Team identity==
===Mascot===
The lone [[mascot]] of the Bridgeport Islanders is a [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] blue tiger named Storm. He appears at home games sporting a jersey with the number 01 (short for the year the team was founded). While Storm can usually be found exciting fans throughout the arena, he skates on the ice during periodic [[intermission]]s. Storm's appearance has changed since the team's inaugural season. Storm has weathered the storm since the club's change to the Islander's moniker and is a regular at-home game.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.newtownbee.com/11212024/bridgeport-islanders-and-newtown-public-schools-team-up-to-help-fight-cancer/#:~:text=Bridgeport%20Islanders%20mascot%20Storm%20gets%20ready%20to,Middle%20School%2C%20where%20he%20promoted%20Hockey%20Fights | title = Bridgeport Islanders And Newtown Public Schools Team Up To Help Fight Cancer | publisher = newtownbee.com | date = November 21, 2024 | accessdate = November 21, 2024 }}</ref>

===Rivalries===
The main (and instate) rival of the Islanders are the [[Hartford Wolf Pack]], the AHL affiliate of the [[New York Rangers]] (the main rival of the Bridgeport Islanders' parent club, the [[New York Islanders]]). The games have become known as the Battle of Connecticut. They have formed a rivalry with the [[Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins]], the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]]' [[American Hockey League|AHL]] affiliate, and the [[Providence Bruins]], the [[Boston Bruins]]' [[American Hockey League|AHL]] affiliate, largely due to the teams frequently facing off in playoff match-ups and regular season play. They also are semi-rivals with the [[Hershey Bears]], the [[Washington Capitals]]' AHL affiliate.
