History
The team traces its roots back to the minor professional team, Cape Cod Cubs, that played in the region during the 1970s.[2] The current team was founded as the Cape Cod Cubs in 2008 and joined the International Junior Hockey League for the 2009-2010 season.[3] The Cubs won back to back IJHL Super Elite League titles in their first two seasons in the league.[4] In 2011 the Cubs became the Cape Cod Islanders.[4]
For the 2012–13 season the Cape Cod Islanders were a founding member of the Northern States Hockey League (NSHL). The Northern States Hockey League became the second hockey league sanctioned under the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). The league left the AAU in 2014 and became the North American 3 Eastern Hockey League (NA3EHL), managed by the Tier II North American Hockey League, whilst seeking USA Hockey sanctioning, which they were given in 2015. Prior to the 2016–17 season, the Islanders became part of the North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL) when it absorbed the NA3EHL.
