{"product_id":"nanaimo-islanders-t-shirt","title":"Nanaimo Islanders T-Shirt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Nanaimo Islanders were a one-year wonder in the WHL for the 1982-83 season. The team moved from Billings, Montana, where they had spent five years as the Billings Bighorns. After a rough start to the 1982-83 season, the Islanders fired coach Les Calder in early December and also had trade demands from two players; Mark Lamb and Bob Rouse. Both moved on after only about 30 games with the club and would eventually spend many years in the NHL. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Islanders didn't recover, as the team finished 20-51-1. They averaged around 1,000 fans per game at a time when the league average was in the 2-3,000 range. It's estimated the team lost $250,000 during their single season. After the season, the team would be sold and moved to New Westminster and become the second iteration of the Bruins. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis would make a unique gift for the hockey fan in your life or a neat find for yourself of a vintage hockey team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAll t-shirts and hoodies ship from Victoria, BC via Canada Post, with expected delivery in 6 –10 business days.
