Isles’ season tickets are almost sold out

Nearly six months before the opening of their new arena, the New York Islanders have nearly sold out of season tickets for the first season in their new home. UBS Arena, being built next to the racetrack at Belmont Park with an expected capacity of about 17,000 for hockey, has sold more than 90 per cent of its season tickets, the Islanders announced Thursday. The upper level and terrace is sold out.
