Isles Dump Bridgeport, Eye Hamilton for AHL Squad
The Islanders pull the plug on their Bridgeport AHL operation, shifting the affiliate north to Hamilton's shiny new TD Coliseum for the 2026-27 season. Insiders like Frank Seravalli confirm it's a done deal, driven by lagging attendance and a business play for a fresh market just outside Toronto. Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim blasts the move as a betrayal after a 10-year lease, while fans mourn the end of a 25-year era that fed prospects straight to Long Island.
