Islanders Belmont Arena Can Resume Construction
The New York Islanders arena construction has been paused but in Phase 1, the construction can resume at Belmont Park.
Yesterday, the New York area received some good news from the Governor. Andrew Cuomo said that teams can return to their facilities for training after more than two months in a state of pause.
Since we also found out that the NHL is planning on a 24 team playoff format, this isn't too much of a surprise. According to Laura Curran, this also means that construction at Belmont can resume in Phase 1.
Initially, the Belmont Arena was deemed essential but on March 27, that came to a close. Exactly two months later to the day in fact, the arena will resume construction on Wednesday.
