Want to know how excited fans are for the New York Islanders 2021-22 season? You know, the first year that the Isles UBS Arena will be open. According to the team, they’ve sold out 90% of season tickets for the next season.
That’s an incredible achievement for a franchise which has been plagued by low attendance numbers and low excitement levels for years.
