Nassau County Executive Laura Curran has asked the NHL to consider moving all Islanders games to NYCB Live's Nassau Coliseum next season before they open their Belmont Park arena in 2021.
In a letter to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman on Thursday, which Curran also posted on Twitter, the county executive wrote, "It's what the fans want. It's what the players want ... Let us 'Rock The Barn' for one more full and final year."
In response, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement to Newsday, "We appreciate the County Executive's passion and interest. The request is a little premature, but it's something we'll consider at the appropriate time."
