The Peterborough Islanders are a British ice hockey team.
The Peterborough Islanders were founded in 1996 by Grant Budd, a player with links to the Falkland Islands. The team's first strip carried the crest of the Falkland Islands and the team motto still remains as 'Desire the Right'. The vision was for the club to provide a basis for young ice hockey players to develop and move on to senior leagues, and for senior players to continue playing at a competitive level.
The team has played in the Southern section of the (predominately amateur) English National League since its inception - albeit it did not compete in the 1999–2000 season.
In 2006 the team colours were changed from white (black for away strip) with a red stars design to white (black for away strip) and red with gold and black trimmings. The logo was also switched from an 'ice rink on an island' design [1] to that of a painted mask.
In 2007–08 they captured the South A Conference title, which was then followed by a victory in the Southern Conference Play-offs.
In 2009-10 the team were relegated from the English National League South Division 1. They will compete in the ENL South Division 2 during the 2010-11 season.
