Ratner, Yormark Meet NHL Officials
NetsDaily
Most likely they were stopping in for a sneak preview of NHL 12 or some other fantasy hockey game.
CNBC's Darren Rovell reports that Bruce Ratner and Brett Yormark visited officials of the National Hockey League Thursday. A Nets insider confirmed the meeting, which took place at the NHL offices in Manhattan, but declined to discuss any details including whether an architect accompanied the two. It's one more indication that the Barclays Center is serious about luring the Islanders to Brooklyn.
In his tweet, Rovell wrote, "Barclays Center Developer Ratner & CEO Yormark spotted at NHL offices today. Brooklyn Islanders?" The big issue, of course, is whether the league would approve an arena with a limited capacity for hockey and questionable sightlines.
