Islanders heading ‘home’ for the weekend
Will Host Flyers at Nassau Coliseum in Exhibition Opener on Sunday
The New York Islanders, who have been making headlines all summer for where they might eventually play, be it Belmont Park or Willets Point or right here in Downtown Brooklyn, will be re-visiting their old haunts this weekend.
The Islanders will open their preseason slate against Philadelphia at a place called NYCB Live on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.
The arena, which has been renovated under the guidance of former Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center owner Bruce Ratner, is more commonly referred to as the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
