A look around the web at the most recent New York Islanders news. Make Eyes On Isles your go to website for all things Islanders.

A year ago yesterday the hockey world lost a legend. Longtime coach of the New York Islanders, Al Arbour passed away. A year and a day later the Islanders will hold a memorial service for him.

The service is at 11:30 am at the NORTHWELL HEALTH ICE CENTER

The service will be attended by John Tavares, Bill Torrey, Scotty Bowman, Jim Devellano, Jack Capuano and Jiggs McDonald will serve as the master of ceremony.

It’s definitely going to be a very nice service and something Islander fans should want to attend. Arbour was a legend for the Isles, and I’m sure the fans are very thankful for his service to the team.
