I thought the Sound Tigers were leaving Bridgeport?

[FU73]

With so many other American Hockey League teams on the move, it seems like the time of the Bridgeport Sound Tigers could come to an end. In 2013, it was announced that the Sound Tigers could move to Uniondale and Nassau Coliseum in 2016 when the New York Islanders moved to Brooklyn.

Now, it seems that is not the case.

“We’ve had no directive from ownership that we’re moving to the Coliseum,” said Howard Saffan, the Sound Tigers’ president in an article on CTPost.com.

“The most important thing to remember is we own the operating agreement for Webster Bank Arena,” Saffan said. “Our contractual obligation to the City of Bridgeport is to provide American Hockey League games at the arena.”.......

Interestingly last season (2014-15) the Sound Tigers (NY Islanders) averaged 4,744 fans in their 38 home games at the WBA in Bridgeport. That is still below the AHL average attendance of 5,508. However, they still draw more than the Albany Devils (NJ Devils) who drew only 3,323 fans at the TUC in Albany.

Last season, based on MAAC attendance stats, Siena Men's Basketball drew 6,242 fans to the TUC and Stag Men's Basketball drew 2,010 fans to the WBA.
