The Nets will hold their Media Day at Barclays Center on September 30, then head to Duke for a week of training camp. Turns out the Islanders will be doing something similar, a one-day preview in Brooklyn.
The @NYIslanders will kick off training camp next Thursday on the ice at the @barclayscenter in Brooklyn. 1st taste of their future home.

@RoseTintedVisor Only in Brooklyn next Thursday. It's a one day deal. After that it's IceWorks and/or the Coliseum.

It's basically a promotion for the Isles' exhibition game at Barclays vs. the Devils on September 21 ... and a way to whet the appetite of fans for the Islanders' 2015 debut at Barclays Center. Brett Yormark and the Nets/Barclays Center team are already in charge of the Islanders' business operations.
