The Islanders may be Long Island's hockey team, but that doesn't mean all of the players know everything about the area.

For fun, the team recently asked some of the players to try to pronounce some of the Island's more...interesting town names. For people who grew up around here, names like "Wyandanch" and "Nissequogue" may be second nature, but for others, they can be tongue twisters.

See how some of the Islanders did trying to figure out Long Island town names. How do you think they fared?
