The New York Islanders debut at the brand new UBS Arena was a success, despite losing to the Calgary Flames 5-2. The stunning arena is located in Belmont Park in Elmont, New York and cost a whopping $1.5 Billion dollars to complete.
The old home of the Islanders was the Nassau coliseum, which was the second-oldest arena in the NHL and also the second-smallest behind the Winnipeg Jets MTS Center.
Lets have a look inside the fantastic new multi-purpose arena.
Here is a video from the New York Islanders Twitter page showing the first pre-game show in the brand new arena.
The crowd took over the arena while singing Star Spangled Banner, and it sounded fantastic. Have a listen.
Congratulations New York Islanders on your new home, you deserved it. The fans will be there in attendance celebrating your first home win very soon.
