AUGUST 12 – 14, 2016 HYATT REGENCY LONG ISLAND NHLBCC 2016 ● August 12-14, 2016 ● Hauppauge, New York On behalf of the members of the New York Islanders Booster Club, we cannot wait to see you on Long Island next August for the 46th Annual NHL Booster Club Convention. We want to provide you with a great week of fun, frivolity, and friendship and celebrating the game that we love so much. About Long Island Long Island New York is the largest island adjoining the contiguous United States, extending approximately 118 miles east-northeast from the mouth of the Hudson River. It is separated from the mainland on the north by the Long Island Sound and bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the south and east. Twenty miles at its widest point, Long Island is composed of low plateaus on the north, longitudinal ridges of glacial moraine through the central parts of the island, and gently sloping plains to the south. The East End of the island is made up of two forks. The North Fork is approximately 28 miles long, the southern - terminating at Montauk Point - is about 44 miles in length. Peconic and Gardiners Bays separate the two forks and are where Shelter Island and Gardiners Island are located. Totaling 1,377 square miles of land area, Long Island New York is divided into four counties: Kings (Brooklyn), Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk. Suffolk is the easternmost and by far the largest of the four, covering an expanse of 911 square miles. Following Suffolk is Nassau with 287 square miles, Queens County with 109, and Kings with 70 square miles, the westernmost County. Kings and Queens Counties (Brooklyn and Queens) border each other and fall within the jurisdiction of New York City.
Many people in the New York metropolitan area (even those on the island in Queens and Brooklyn) use the term "Long Island" or "the island" to refer to Nassau and Suffolk counties only.

There is so much to see and do on Long Island. With the potential of many people with vehicles, there are many places to see and visit within minutes from the hotel. We invite you to explore the Island that we Islanders call home. Visit http://www.discoverLongIsland.com for an extensive list of things to do and places to see. The concierge desk in the hotel lobby is available 7 days a week to help you plan your outings, book tours, buy tickets and make restaurant reservations. We will also have an information table in our registration room/ hospitality suite to assist you in planning a little exploring on your own. Transportation to Hauppauge Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) is about 7 miles from the Hyatt. MacArthur Airport has South West Airlines (via Baltimore and Florida cities) and American Eagle (from Philadelphia). If you make your reservations via South West, you may not see flights from your location to Long Island. You may have to contact South West via phone (800) IFLYSWA. You will get the ‘Wanna Fly Away’ rate via phone reservations. American Airlines offers a few flights a day from Philadelphia to Islip. The hotel has a shuttle service to and from the airport, which runs every 20-30 minutes. Taxi fare is currently approximately $20 one way. If you wish to rent a car, there are plenty of rental cars available at the airport. There is also an Enterprise Rent-A-Car on the hotel premises. We will send information later in the year, should you need to acquire a vehicle during your stay. Any special assistance at the airport can be arranged with us in advance. An alternative airport is JFK International Airport (JFK). JFK has many choices of airlines and destinations. JFK is about 49 miles from the Hyatt. To get to the Hyatt, we suggest for you to take the AIR TRAIN, which circles the terminals at the Airport, and then heads north to the Jamaica LIRR station. When debarking, you pay a $5.00 fee. Just past the turnstiles, you can purchase a One-way ticket to the Ronkonkoma station. If you are departing from 4PM to 8PM – you need to get a “Peak” ticket, which at the time of this package, costs $14.00. Any other time of the day, it is an “Off-Peak” ticket, which costs $10.25. The train takes a little over an hour to arrive at Ronkonkoma. You will be able to pick up a shuttle van at the train station. Vans arrive every 20-30 minutes. Lastly, there is LaGuardia Airport (LGA). There is no shuttle service yet from the airport. However, you can take a NYC bus (Q70) from any of the terminals to the Woodside LIRR station (61st Street/Woodside). This will take about 15-20 minutes at the most. Take the elevator to the LIRR ticket area. You will need to purchase a One-way ticket to the Ronkonkoma station. If you are departing from 4PM to 8PM – you need to get a “Peak” ticket, which at the time of this package, costs $18.25. Any other time of the day, it is an “Off-Peak” ticket, which costs $13.25. The train takes a little about an hour and 15 minutes to arrive at Ronkonkoma. You will be able to pick up a shuttle van at the train station. Vans arrive every 20-30 minutes. If you decide to take Amtrak, you will arrive at Penn Station in New York City. Follow the signs for the Long Island Rail Road. Purchase a ticket to Ronkonkoma ($18.25 Peak and $13.25 Off Peak). When we get closer to the convention, we will provide phone numbers and information for Shuttle service to the hotel. Most major car rental companies are located at the airport; however, we think you will find a need for a vehicle very small once you have arrived.

Anyone that has hosted a convention knows the struggles of having to get payments out early in the year, before any money comes in.

The following prizes will be awarded to two random winners: (We must receive payment from your club coordinator by Jan 30th) The cost of a trip covered by the NHLBCC 2016 Convention ½ of the cost of a trip covered by the NHLBC 2016 Convention Anyone with questions on this, can e-mail me (Gary.Harding@nhlbcc2016.com) for more information.
