An announcement with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, team owner Charles Wang and mayor Mike Bloomberg is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
The New York Islanders are moving to the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn beginning in 2015, according to Chris Botta of SportsBusiness Journal.
Hello, Brooklyn Islanders.
An announcement with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, team owner Charles Wang and mayor Mike Bloomberg is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
Previous reports indicated the Barclays Center was "trying like hell" to get the Islanders to play games in the new arena.
Botta had previously reported that Long Island's reluctance to work on a new arena could lead to exactly this type of move.
