Islanders Coach Named

UNIONDALE, New York-- Lorne Henning got back to where he started as an original New York Islander -- only the job is much bigger, and so is the shadow. Henning was named Monday as the team's new coach, succeeding his longtime boss, Al Arbour. The announcement was typical of the organization Henning has served for 18 of its 22 years. Henning, 42, has been quietly involved in virtually everything noteworthy that has ever happened to the Islanders, from being their second pick in their inaugural draft to making the first pass toward the overtime goal that won their first Stanley Cup.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
