    The New York Islanders are officially Brooklyn-bound.

    The Islanders announced Wednesday that they've agreed to move from Long Island to Brooklyn's Barclays Center and share the $1 billion arena with the Nets.

    "You don't have to worry about the future of this team," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said at a news conference Wednesday. "It's remaining local."

    The Islanders have established a 25-year agreement to play at Barclays Center beginning in the 2015-16 season. Their lease at Nassau Coliseum expires after the 2014-15 season.
