Moretz is a longtime Islanders fan, often showing love to the team on social media. The Atlanta, Georgia native even got to meet the team back in 2015, posting photos of her and "the guys" on her Instagram page.
The Addams Family 2 actress has also shared videos from their games, including this clip in which she can be seen rooting for the Islanders in the audience. She also famously trolled the Washington Capitals ahead of a 2015 game, writing on Instagram: "#Islanders, let’s kill them tonight. #CapsSuck #SorryCaps."

As for Moretz, nothing can beat the Elmont team in her affections. Originally a Kings fan, the actress revealed it was the Islanders’ "spirit" and "rowdy crowds" that won her over.
"It started off with me liking the L.A. Kings and then I went away and I was filming movies, and I watched a lot of NHL hockey in my room," she said, in 2019, adding about the New York Islanders: "They’re my favorite team because of their spirit and I really loved the rowdy crowds."
