Eight past Islanders have been inducted into the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]] – [[Mike Bossy]], [[Clark Gillies]], [[Pat LaFontaine]], [[Roberto Luongo]], [[Denis Potvin]], [[Billy Smith (ice hockey)|Billy Smith]], [[Bryan Trottier]] and [[Pierre Turgeon]]. Bossy and Potvin were the first Islanders to be inducted, in 1991. Turgeon is the most recent Islander to be inducted, in 2023.

In addition to the eight players, two team builders have been inducted; [[Bill Torrey]] and [[Al Arbour]] were inducted in 1995 and 1996, respectively. [[Lou Lamoriello]], hired to serve as Islanders general manager in 2018, was previously inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2009.

Five of the eight Hall of Fame players (Bossy, Gillies, Potvin, Smith and Trottier), in addition to [[Bob Bourne]], have since been inducted into the Islanders' Hall of Fame, established in 2007. In February 2008, the team unveiled the Hall of Fame plaques for each player, which are displayed at the team's practice facility. In November 2011, first Islanders captain Ed Westfall was added to their Hall of Fame, followed by the addition of defenseman [[Ken Morrow]] in December 2011, right-winger [[Patrick Flatley]] ("Chairman of the Boards") in January 2012<ref>{{cite web|url=http://islanders.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=611174|title=Flatley to be inducted into Islanders Hall of Fame|publisher=[[National Hockey League]]|access-date=January 19, 2012}}</ref> and Kenny Jonsson in February 2012. In February 2020, John Tonelli and Butch Goring were inducted into the Islanders Hall of Fame at the same time their numbers, 27 and 91 respectively, were retired by the team. [[Brent Sutter]] is scheduled to be inducted on January 18, 2025.<ref>{{cite web |title=Islanders to Induct Brent Sutter into Hall of Fame |url=https://www.nhl.com/islanders/news/islanders-to-induct-brent-sutter-into-hall-of-fame |website=NHL.com |access-date=November 15, 2024 |date=November 8, 2024}}</ref>

There are two other banners hanging with the retired numbers: one honors [[Al Arbour]] in recognition of his 1,500 games coached for the Islanders, and the other honors [[Bill Torrey]], who held the titles of general manager, vice president, president, and chairman of the board for the Islanders organization from 1972 until 1993. In place of a number, Torrey's banner features the words "The Architect" and his trademark bowtie.
