Hockey[]

The New York Rangers call New York City home, playing their home games in Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.  The New York Islanders moved to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in 2015 after their lease expired at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. This lasted only for a few seasons as the Barclays Center was built for basketball and the renovations to fit a hockey rink left lousy sight lines for ice hockey.

The first Madison Square Garden built in 1879 (and thus far the only one not to host the New York Rangers) installed a mechanically frozen artificial ice surface that was about 6,000 square feet (about 1/3 the size of the modern North American rink).  The facility featured ice carnivals which were popular at the time.

New York was home to the St. Nicholas Rink which was probably the third rink in North America to offer artificial ice large enough form ice hockey in March, 1896 (after Baltimore and Pittsburgh). College and amateur games were played there until the building was destroyed by fire
