PHOTOS: Islanders Gear Up For Move to Barclays

An early look at hockey in the Barclays Center.

The New York Islanders had their first practice at the Barclays Center in anticipation of their preseason game on Sept. 21. 

The team moves to Brooklyn full time in the 2015-16 season, and the arena, which was not built with hockey in mind, has prepared for the move. 

Click through the pictures above for some views from around the Barclays during its hockey setup, which will seat 15,813 initially.
