While news earlier in the week brought the prospect of yet another premature Coliseum demise, yesterday the Islanders — or more precisely their arena developers — announced their management team for the new arena being built at Belmont.
The leadership team is larger than the Sabres’ scouting staff.
So, the official news, if you’re into executive lineups, somehow has the Islanders in Variety: Tom Pistore (an MLSE guy) is President of Commercial Operations, Hank Abate the President of Arena Operations, Charles Groneman is Chief Financial Officer, Zachary Klein is General Counsel and Lea del Rosario is Senior Vice President of Human Resources.
