Episode 1 - New York Islanders; Calypso Hockey - The Euclid Juni Mahon Interview

The New York Islanders are a hockey club based on the East Coast of the USA. Having been around for close to five decades, the club was originally founded and organised by those from the Caribbean Islands - an influence which still drives the club today. In the eighth series of the Half Court Press Podcast we find out more about the Calypso hockey that is and has been played over the years by the New York Islanders from those involved. Tao MacLeod talks to a variety of hockey personalities who have coached, played for and generally been a part of the West Indian hockey community in New York. Euclid Juni Mahon is a legend of the hockey club. As an original founder of the team, in the 1970’s, he has played a major part in the development of hockey in and around the New York area. Euclid’s basement has basically served as the clubhouse for post match activities for the Islanders, as well as committee meetings and other such social events. Recently, he has spoken to the Half Court Press and provided a fantastic introduction into the history of the club and how those early days began.
