The Islanders showed off their newly-completed practice facility at Northwell Health Ice Center at Eisenhower Park Tuesday and co-owner Jon Ledecky said he wants the state-of-the training site to be a template for what he hopes will be the team’s new home at Belmont.
Ledecky, general manager Garth Snow and head coach Doug Weight attended the unveiling. The Islanders said the upgrades at Northwell cost $3 million.
“The quality here is the same kind of quality of excellence that we want to bring to the Belmont Park project,’’ Ledecky said. “And the fact that we were able to get this project done over the course of the summer when lot of folks said, ‘well, you won’t be ready in time for the season,’ is emblematic of what we can do at Belmont.
