Robin Lehner got a Long Island tattoo as a way to say thank you to Islanders fans



Robin Lehner only played one season with the New York Islanders, but it was a very memorable one for the 28-year-old.

During his time with the Isles, Lehner opened up about his battle with addiction and living with untreated bipolar disorder and he received a lot of support from Islanders fans and hockey fans as a whole.

On Thursday, the Chicago Blackhawks goalie shared a photo of his latest tattoo, and it’s a little tribute to Long Island and the Islanders family.



Forever imprinted a place that means the world to me and Where I started my new journey. Tribute to a great place filled with great people. Will forever love the island. Chicago has followed suit. pic.twitter.com/f6yGXOfI8f — Robin Lehner (@RobinLehner) February 6, 2020

Lehner may have only spent one season with the Islanders, but it was a very impactful year for him and the fans.



This made me cry. We all love you and miss you Robin. Even though you were only with us for one year you made such an impact that we'll always be rooting for you no matter what happens and where you go. You're a huge inspiration to me and your message has helped me a lot 💙🧡 pic.twitter.com/PM8mSzM25b — Samuel Doucet (31-15-6) (@RealSamuelX) February 6, 2020

The Swedish netminder has played 133 games with the Sabres, 86 with the Senators, 46 with the Islanders, and has appeared in 30 with the Blackhawks, but it’s safe to say the Islanders have the biggest spot in his heart.
