abstract	The Sound Tigers joined the AHL in 2001. The franchise's lease at the Arena runs until the end of the 2021 season. The team has generally been successful, recording only two losing seasons through the 2009 season, highlighted by a division championship and reaching the Calder Cup Finals, in which they lost to the Chicago Wolves four games to one, during their first season. The franchise's first coach was Steve Stirling, and the team is currently coached by Brent Thompson. In July 2016, the Islanders stated that the team would not be moving to the renovated Nassau Coliseum when it is completed in 2018. Putting an end to the rumors that the team would be relocated at that time. The only way the team could have moved was if there was another AHL team to take its place as the team's lease runs through 2021. There had been speculation that the Hartford Wolfpack would possibly be the replacement team as the XL Center in Hartford has been rumored to be closing to build a new arena in the same location in the hopes of luring an NHL team.
