New Pro Hockey Team Could Be On Its Way To Las Vegas

It's happening fast in our city when it comes to sports. Now here comes news that there could be a new pro-hockey team on its way to Las Vegas.

According to a recent article in the Hockey News, Professional Women's Hockey League could land in Southern Nevada in the very near future.

Keep in mind that the league only has one season under it's belt, however, Golden Knights President Kerry Bubolz had said in a recent interview, “We remain interested in the context of growing the game,”

If it ever should happen, most fans would think that they would play at the Lee Family Forum in Henderson! It would be the perfect arena for the team as it is for the Silver Knights.

As it stands now, there are a total of only six teams in the league...much like it was in the early years of the NHL. Three teams from Canada and three from the United States.

Minnesota, New York, and Boston make up the teams from the U.S. and Canada is represented by Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa.

Out of the six, there are no teams west of the Mississippi...bringing the PWHL out to Southern Nevada would be a task, but well worth it. On the other hand, if they were to include Las Vegas, the league would have to definitely include another team out west.

They don't play a lot of games right now, but with expansion on the horizon, that would increase. According to the Victory Press, each team played 24 games in the first season that went from January to May.

Toronto seemed to be the team to beat after season one posting a 13-4-7 record. 13 wins, 4 overtime wins and 7 losses.

But let's see what happens moving forward to see if the PWHL does indeed come out and providing Southern Nevada with another professional hockey team!

It’s only been ten days since the Vegas Golden Knights first lifted Lord Stanley’s Cup skyward. Our entire city erupted in unanimous joy. And, at the present time, I already miss hockey. What are we going to do all summer? Let's enjoy a behind-the-scenes look into the Stanley Cup Finals with a hot mic on the ice!

The NHL put hot mics on certain players, coaches, and referees during the Stanley Cup Finals. The battle rages on the ice between the Golden Knights and the Florida Panthers. The hot mic on ice catches little quips during player scrums after the whistle. It catches the refs taking command of these situations. They hand out 10-minute misconducts like they’re handing out candy at Halloween.

The video below also shows you what gets said in the locker before the game. It reveals how players react to what has been happening on the ice between periods. After the game is over, you can see how the winning team celebrates. In like fashion, you can also observe the way the losing team copes and tries to rebound in the next game.

Everyone enjoys behind-the-scenes looks into the sports, businesses, hobbies, or life situations, which appeal to them. That’s why “reality” television shows do so well. The 25-minute video below from NHL.com and YouTube.com is worth your time. Following the Stanley Cup Finals action from opening ceremonies to lifting the trophy is a lot of fun!

Spoiler alert: I bet you can guess which of his amazing saves lands at #1.

Ask any kid who plays hockey growing up. They dream of scoring the big goal to win the championship. Well, an American Hockey League player’s childhood dreams came true last night.
