The Islanders’ proposed new arena at Belmont Park remains “on track for the 2021-22 season,” co-owner Jon Ledecky told Newsday Sunday.

“We’re keenly focused on making sure the project stays on track, and I’ve been assured by many parties that is the case,” Ledecky said. “I’m very confident that’s where we will be playing our games in the 2021-22 season."

The Islanders’ arena project, which also includes a hotel and entertainment center, is currently going through a lengthy environmental review stage. Empire State Development, the state agency coordinating the project, says the review will be completed by the end of June.
