Historical Figures
Former Owner
Charles Wang, co-founder of Computer Associates International, purchased the Islanders in 2000 and attempted multiple ambitious arena development projects that were blocked by local politics. Despite years of on-ice struggles and arena uncertainty, Wang kept the team on Long Island until selling to Malkin and Ledecky in 2016. Wang passed away in 2018.
