Kind of crazy it’s been almost two weeks now since the Las Vegas NHL Expansion team turned into the Vegas Golden Knights. Feels like just yesterday we were still trying to read in between the lines of Bettman quotes just to see if we would be getting a team at all. Hopefully the next 10 months go as quickly.
Last Tuesday is a day that will forever live with the team, and the crowd that showed up was truly incredible. I expected less than 1,000 people there and images that we would be trying to hide for the next 50 years rather than promote. Instead, Las Vegas showed up and showed out as somewhere in the neighborhood of 5,000 people made their way down to Toshiba Plaza two days before Thanksgiving to learn one word (Golden/Silver/Desert) and see two pictures (logos).
To honor that amazing night we decided to gather some of the best pictures and share them to keep proving to the world that Las Vegas is not only a hockey city, we are ripe to become a hockey mecca.

My favorite part about the ceremony was seeing all the fans who lined the edges of the NYNY parking garage to get a good view. Amazing how many people showed up. Even fans in jerseys of different teams. I must’ve seen hundreds of different jerseys that night.

Couldn’t agree more. Still haven’t found a great picture of that. It was such a cool scene.

Excellent venue for hockey and concerts . A Canuck from the Great White North Yukon Territories. Hope to See the Golden Knights in the future. Vegas Rocks.
