SinBin.vegas – This is the first website 100% dedicated to covering the NHL expansion team coming to Las Vegas, eventually named the Vegas Golden Knights. The site was launched on August 25th of 2015, nearly a year before the franchise was awarded to Vegas, and 17 months before the Golden Knights played their first game. We are credentialed members of the media and attend every practice, game, and event the Golden Knights have in Las Vegas (and anywhere close).
Ken Boehlke – In the power rankings of things I love, it starts with my wife, then my dogs, then Las Vegas and sports. Finally, thanks to The Creator, we are getting professional sports in Vegas. Admittedly, I have never been a hockey fan before as I moved away from Chicago literally months before the Blackhawks began their reign of terror. But now that we are getting our own team, in the city I call my own, I’m all in. I plan to learn about the game, the team, and everything there is to know about hockey, and I will share my experiences along the way right here on SinBin.vegas. New to hockey or not, we all want the same thing, the Cup on the Strip.
I was born and raised in Chicago and moved to Columbia, Missouri when I began attending the University of Missouri. I graduated in 2009 with a bachelor’s in Journalism (yes, that’s a real thing). I’ve worked in radio stations in Missouri (KBIA), Illinois (WBBM & WGN), and currently here in Nevada for CBS Sports Radio 1140 and Newsradio KXNT.
Jason Pothier – I come from a hockey town, I have a hockey last name, and I have NHL quality lettuce. It’s quite obvious, I’m a puck head. I played the sport as a youth and enjoyed a half way decent career, until my team lost a tournament to an all girls team. Now I’m not being sexist I’m giving the team praise. They didn’t just beat us, they kicked our ass. Including a body check by big, beefy, female defenseman that sent me to the locker room early. From that point I knew my hockey dreams would end soon. However, I continued to love the game.
I’m sorta credible, I’ve been in sports broadcasting my whole career starting off at the legendary WEEI sports radio in Boston. After almost a decade of covering Boston sports, and getting slammed with snow I found myself in Sin City. I joined forces with KB at CBS Radio and now we’re the authorities of hockey in Las Vegas. A town that needs a few lessons on the sport. I start my hockey 101 course in the fall… Make sure you get a spot soon, it’s quickly filling up.

Those are some ugly uniforms. The jersey logo looks like something a kid would draw. Doesn’t look professional. or eye appealing to me.
Grant
Get outta here Bob. Maybe you should root for the Wild. You’ll love their unis.
Dom
I’m going to kick you in the face Bob.

gotta say I’m really impressed with your website, enthusiasm and fast learning about the beautiful game. I do think the Knights (and fans) need to be realistic about what skill sets the team actually has, and fix that glaring hole in the center ice department. With the ageing MAF and D-core (not to mention the slightly overrated Patches), the window may not be open for long…without high draft picks we’ll have to count on continuing to lure free agents while the cup opportunity is open.
