The Islanders' season doesn't start until Oct. 4, but the party for Isles fans will begin a day earlier.
Nassau County Executive Laura Curran announced Thursday plans to honor the team with an "Islanders Day" beginning at 6 p.m. on Oct. 3 at the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola. Curran will host the Islanders organization and fans for a rally, and the county dome will be lit blue and orange at the end of the event.
“Our Islanders are coming back home, and Nassau County is ready to celebrate,” Curran said in a statement.
