TEAM FOR 20 YEARS THE REDWINGS.WE WON 3 CALDER CUPS AND THE CITY WAS ALIVE AND BOOMING.THEN AFTER 20 YEARS THE TEAM LEFT TOWN FOR gRAND rAPIDS,mICH.The end result was our city was dieing a slow death.In 2009 our city was lucky enough to have the flyers A.H.L. team the phantoms locate here.Our city and the civic center is again thriving.If the people of long Island are smart they should do what ever it takes to build a new arena and keep the New York Islanders on Long Island.God Bless Charles Wang and the Islanders.
