#NYC #NYI #isles Since early summer I hammered away at Bridgeport moving to Hamilton. Leiweke getting indicted/removed from Oavkew perhaps gave it some pause but no one would touch it beyond Oakview making it happen. Seems it could not be hidden anymore happy 25th anniversary.

#NYC #NYI #isles The failure of Long Island/Fisherman markerting combined with a pathetic produce/no success back to 2003. Fan base died during Covid/never came back. Oakview is our landlord at the failed Belmont experiment, they could kick tenant NYI out. ECHL deal up also.

#NYC #NYI #isles @AGrossNewsday Long Island based amateur bloggers were terrified to go near Darche about AHL relocation. Everyone knew, no one spoke up and hammered this topic on social media harder then myself. Too bad can't stay home and lose forever. Ledecky 10 year lease=lie

#NYC #NYI #isles Deal was SoundTigers sign a ten year extension (their first even lease) for 30 million of renovations. Snippets of work not done/behind. Bridgeport officials claimed no clue of relocation. Ct Post did not go near w/no writer anymore.

#NYC #NYI #isles So now the question is do NYI take team affiliation to Hamilton, look for a new place closer to team, or go unaffiliated/shared as Milbury was forced to in 1998 before Boe bounced checks in Bridgeport to get arena built. Very sad day. Was expected.

#NYC #NYI #isles Whatever NYI/Darche likely Collins/Lou planned out over a year ago will be announced soon. This was planned a year plus out.
