New York Islanders to Wear Charles Wang Badge for 2018-19 Season

The New York Islanders community received some sad news this week, with the passing of former majority owner Charles Wang. The passing of the man that was responsible for keeping this team on Long Island has marked many who knew him.

Everyone who were lucky enough to know him or meet him talks about a man who approached life his way and with a great smile on his face.

His impact for on the New York Islanders can’t be missed. Without Wang the New York Islanders wouldn’t be the New York Islanders. For that the Isles will wear a “CBW” path on their jerseys for the remainder of the season.
