The Vegas Golden Knights are the NHL’s newest expansion team

On board of directors for Jim Murray Memorial Foundation.

Five months after National Hockey League owners sold Foley’s group an expansion franchise for $500 million, the 31st National Hockey League team began to take shape with a logo of a knight’s helmet in front of a shield with a V-shaped front opening and colors of gold, back, red and steel grey.

He said, “Our logo and our name is really going exhibit the highest the highest level of the warrior class; the knight”. When people see it, we want them to say “These guys never give up”.

WestGate Las Vegas put up their first 2017-18 NHL Future and it included the SuperBook’s home town team.

Las Vegas team owner Bill Foley promised the name would either be the Silver Knights, the Desert Knights or the Golden Nights.

The Golden Knights will be joining the Pacific Division and will be the 15th team in the Western Conference. “I’ll tell you that”.

We also got our first good look at the logo proper at the announcement party.

The NHL keeps expanding into the desert, and its latest team in Sin City will be dubbed the Golden Knights.

The team will be playing in the newly made T-Mobile Arena and has already sold out season tickets.

The team’s colors are steel grey, gold, red and black.

Foley’s family and the Maloof family make up the rest of the founding partnership.

The Golden Knights will get one of the first six picks to be determined by a lottery system. While that is still 11 months away, the Golden Knights are not only trying to build a fan base, they are trying to build a franchise.

Coincidentally enough, Jim Rutherford, formerly an executive with Carolina, had to unload a share of ownership in the Hurricanes after he joined the Penguins as general manager in 2014.

The Minnesota Wild took Kuba, who was left unprotected by the Flames after a trade from Florida before the draft, and he went on to play five seasons for the Wild and put up 132 points. This secondary logo also contains the color red, speaking to the red hues of the local landscape, which reinforces the team’s goal to connect back to the city. Las Vegas was awarded an expansion team on June 22.

Meanwhile, while we wish the Knights the best of luck on the rink, there are still questions about the team’s chances of success off it and it all comes down to the intrinsic uniqueness of Vegas as a city.
