Even though the Harrisburg City Islanders were coming into their fourteenth season in 2017, they were still looking forward to a few firsts. It was going to be their first season at Division II and their first season playing all of their home matches at FNB Field. After struggling their way through 2016, the season got off to a strong start as the City Islanders won two of their first three matches. But after that...
Well the rest of the season didn’t really meet expectations. Harrisburg ultimately missed the playoffs for the third consecutive season as their 37 points from 32 matches was only good enough for eleventh place in the Eastern Conference.
