Milbury leaves Islanders

One year
after stepping aside as general manager of the Islanders to serve as senior
vice-president in marketing, Mike Milbury on Tuesday announced his resignation
from his full-time position in the organization.

Although Milbury will remain as an advisor to owner Charles Wang on the Project
Hope youth hockey program they began two years ago in

China, his move effectively ends
his 12-year relationship with the Isles in terms of any major decision-making
role. Milbury also served as coach three times and survived through four sets
of owners.
