Several news organizations are reporting New York Islaners minority owner, Charles B Wang, has passed away at age 74.
NYIFC Comments:
Shocking considering how vibrant he was even this summer photographed with Garth Snow on 7/2/18. It's a very sad day to read of this man's passing.
I have never been of the school, Charles Wang, kept the team from relocation, the lease in Nassau & with Smg made that impossible, but his efforts to spend above and beyond, for doing everything humanely possible to keep a building going, where he was only a tenant, renovating many times, him giving us an AHL franchise, saving that from Roy Boe, and investing far more into this team than any owner in his arena circumstances was unreal.
