When Scott Malkin and Jon Ledecky bought the Islanders, Ledecky was a face of ownership who clearly enjoyed interacting with fans and joining in the fun.
During the Lou Lamoriello years, steadily over time it seemed something...changed. Can’t quite put my finger on it, other than the coincidental trend of joy, information and individual expression being suffocated out of the franchise’s public communication. (Was that awkward “In Lou we trust” bit Ledecky’s last real public outing? It may have been.)
Anyway, it’s a new day. Ledecky spoke with media after the Board of Governors meeting and sounded like his old self.
