SQUAD 21

For many veterans, returning to civilian life can feel isolating. Losing the daily camaraderie, shared purpose, and structure of military service often leaves veterans without the social networks that once provided strength and support. This isolation can increase the risk of depression, anxiety, and even suicide.

This is why we created Squad 21, a military recognition program that invites active & veteran service members to attend New York Islanders home games free of charge and connect over their service and shared love of hockey

If you are a veteran or service member interested in participating in Squad 21, fill out the form below.

If you are an individual or company interested in donating New York Islanders tickets to a veteran, please email ashlee@kylepalmierifoundation.org.
