The Hawaiian Islanders were a minor league team of the Arena Football League, the af2. Based in Honolulu, Hawaii, the Hawaiian Islanders home field was at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center Arena. It competed in the AF2 National Conference West. They were owned by Charles Wang, who also owned the New York Islanders and New York Dragons, the latter of which it was an affiliate of, along with the short-lived New Haven Ninjas. It lasted from 2002 to 2004.
The team disbanded after the 2004 af2 season. During their short existence, they were coached by Cal Lee, Hawaii's winningest high school football coach. Several later AFLers, such as Fullback Josh White and Wide Receiver Nian Taylor played with Hawaii.
Note: The team should not be confused with The Hawaiians of the World Football League of the 1970s.
