MINEOLA, N.Y.—The New York Islanders have made a bid to return to the New York City suburbs. The National Hockey League team that moved from Long Island to Brooklyn two years ago submitted a bid with several other partners Thursday to develop a new arena at Belmont Racetrack in Nassau County. New York Arena Partners includes the owners of the New York Mets and others. Belmont Park plays host every June to the Belmont Stakes, the final leg in horse racing’s Triple Crown. There are no plans to close the racetrack; the new development would largely be across the street from the track.
