NHL Open To Isles Playing At Nassau While New Arena Is Constructed

NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly today said that the league is "open to the Islanders playing games at Nassau Coliseum while the team’s arena at Belmont Park is being built." Daly: "I wouldn’t rule it out as a possibility." Commissioner Gary Bettman previously said that the Coliseum "wasn’t a viable option for the Islanders, even on a short-term basis." But last month he "indicated a willingness to revisit that" after some "pressuring" from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Daly added that the decision "'ultimately' belongs to the Islanders" (NEWSDAY.com, 1/2).
