History

After a five-year hiatus, the club returned to the league in 2015.{{cite web|title=Islanders Return to the KJHL|url=http://www.keystonejr.ca/leagues/newsletter.cfm?clientID=4338&leagueID=18880&page=89668|website=KJHL|date=22 August 2015}}{{cite web|title=Cross Lake Islanders Return to KJHL|url=http://www.grassrootsnewsmb.com/images/grn_pdf/grn_08_26_15.pdf|website=Grassroots News|date=26 August 2015}}{{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Former Islanders player Harley Garrioch, who played college hockey at Neumann University in Philadelphia,{{cite web|title=Harley Garrioch - 2012-2013 Men's Hockey|url=http://www.neumannathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6695&path=mhockey|website=Neumann Athletics|accessdate=15 September 2015}} returned home to lead the club.
