Per the NHL:

“Charles Wang, former majority owner of the New York Islanders, died Sunday. He was 74.

The cause of death was not released.

"We are heartbroken by the news of Charles Wang's passing," Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky said. "New York Islanders co-owners Dewey Shay, Scott Malkin and I were privileged to be selected by Charles to be his partners in the team. Charles loved the Islanders unconditionally. The arena at Belmont Park will be just one of his many legacies left to the team and to Long Island. His unique personality, his wonderful sense of humor and his extraordinary wisdom will be greatly missed.
