Lighthouse Hockey, a New York Islanders community

"It’s inconceivable to me that the Islanders wouldn’t be on Long Island. It would be malpractice for those in charge to allow that to happen."
~Gary Bettman 10/24/11

"There was a direct confrontation between Bettman and Balsillie during the first break but it end with a handshake. That occurred in a washroom down the hall from the courtroom when the pair found themselves in there at the same time."

"... For seven years, Charles Wang has committed himself, both emotionally and financially to keeping the Islanders here ... I am a native Islander, and I support the Lighthouse project. And I don't believe there is any place that the Islanders should be playing but here on Long Island."
