Construction is back on track for the New York Islanders arena at Belmont Park after being put on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic. After construction re-started, President of Hockey Operations and GM Lou Lamoriello indicated that Belmont was still on track to be completed on time.
With Belmont, the Islanders need for a long-term home was settled for the first time in years. Then earlier this year, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that the Islanders would play all of their remaining home games at the Nassau Coliseum. And just like that, the Islander's short-term issue was also settled.
