Medford, New York

Medford is a hamlet in Suffolk County on Long Island, in the state of New York  The hamlet had a population of 24,142 as of the 2010 Census.
A proposal released in March of 2018 had proposed the building of a 7,500 seat venue that would become home to a team in the ECHL. The site is an abandoned movie theater that has been vacant for 15 years. The proposal had several obstacles in its path as land acquisitions could be a challenge and that a Brooklyn based auto dealership has showed interest in the site as a storage facility for 5,000 cars. The return of the New York Islanders to Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on a part time basis while a new arena in Elmont, New York is being built and the possibility of an American Hockey League team moving there after the Islanders move to the new arena when it is completed could be another obstacle.https://arenadigest.com/2018/04/30/rfp-issued-xl-center/
