Islosers (Islanders + losers)

The New York Islanders hockey team is sometimes called the “Islosers” (Islanders + losers) by Islanders haters, such as fans of the rival New York Rangers. “Islosers” has been cited in print since at least 1996 and 2002.
 
   
Wikipedia: New York Islanders
The New York Islanders are a professional ice hockey team based in Brooklyn, New York. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The team’s home arena is Barclays Center. The Islanders are one of three NHL franchises in the New York City metropolitan area along with the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers, with the Islanders’ primary fan base being Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island.
