Red Road, a busy road in Elmont during events at the UBS Arena, was renamed Thursday to N.Y. Islanders Way, the Town of Hempstead announced. 

The renaming comes nearly one year after the arena opened its doors to the Islanders and more than 50 years of the hockey team calling America’s largest township home. 

“I have hundreds of fond memories cheering on the Islanders at the old barn, and now I’m thrilled to help commemorate their new home,” said Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin in a statement. “The Town of Hempstead is proud to be home to a beautiful arena, a first-class hockey team and an unrivaled passionate fan base.”

The UBS Arena at Belmont Park, nicknamed “the Stable,” became the franchise’s third home. Since its inception in 1972, Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, otherwise known as the “old barn,” hosted the team, which also played at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn briefly in the 2015-2016 season.

N.Y. Islanders Way runs adjacent to the Silver and Diamond parking lots at the arena and features blue-and-orange colored street signs. 

“The naming of N.Y. Islanders Way celebrating the Islanders’ 50th anniversary season reflects the great partnership between the New York Islanders, UBS Arena, our community and all of our elected officials,” said Islanders Co-Owner Jon Ledecky.

UBS Arena President Kim Stone  said the renaming will be seen with pride from the fanbase. 

“UBS Arena is proud to partner with the New York Islanders and the Town of Hempstead to unveil N.Y. Islanders Way,” Stone said. “It will be seen with pride by generations of Islander fans and New Yorkers who are the fabric of our community.”

The new street name is the second notable renaming for the arena. In October, the main entrance to the venue was changed to “The Acrisure Great Hall.”

“From the Josh Bailey chants to the ‘yes yes yes’ goal celebrations, there is nothing better than New York Islanders hockey,” continued Clavin. “Thank you to Jon Ledecky and UBS President Kim Stone for hosting us today, I look forward to many more partnerships with our home team in the near future.”
