According to sources, the Islanders may be moving to Brooklyn. The New York Islanders are planning to make a major announcement today, at 1 p.m. at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Expected to attend the event are Islanders owner Charles Wang, majority owner of the Barclays Center Bruce Ratner, Mayor Bloomberg, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, Brooklyn borough president Marty Markowitz, Islanders general manager Garth Snow and Barclays Center and Brooklyn Nets chief executive Brett Yormark.

The Islanders current lease with Nassau Coliseum expires in 2015. Islander’s owner Charles Wang has been fighting to get a new arena built the past couple of years. However, each plan was rejected.
