NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman attended a meeting at the renovated Nassau Coliseum Tuesday to assess the improvements needed for the arena to be a temporary home for the Islanders while the new arena at Belmont Park is being built, league spokesman Frank Brown said.
Sources said that Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky and Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment CEO Brett Yormark were at the meeting.
Last week, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the league is open to the Islanders playing games at Nassau Coliseum while the team’s arena at Belmont Park is being built.
“I wouldn’t rule it out as a possibility,” Daly told Newsday in an email.
