then obviously if you're from Long Island you're an islanders fan

I'd say generally you're pretty right, but there obviously are exceptions. I am fan of the teams my father is a fan of (like any good son should be).
My Dad's family is from Queens, both the Mets and Giants played at the Polo Grounds (in Queens). The Jets played there too but didn't exist until 1960, so I'm p sure my Grandfather was a Met/Giant fan as well.
Also I'm from Long Island and root for the Rangers. Don't hate the Islanders like I do the Yanks/Jets though.
