Las Vegas Hockey Vision wants to take ticket reservations, names and emails from local residents as part of a ticket drive and also provide a website that would show sight lines from seats and suites to the ice, Foley said.

He noted local residents would be able to sign up for ticket plans such as quarter-, half- or full-season plans.

Foley envisions the new franchise opening a new hockey practice facility that could be used by local residents when the team is not practicing and also forging relationships with youth hockey leagues to grow the sport in the Las Vegas Valley.

Foley, who lives in Jacksonville, Fla., but also owns homes in Montana and California, said his title insurance business has had offices in Las Vegas for 25 years and his wife is already hunting for a house in the Las Vegas area.

Foley said he believes a Las Vegas franchise does not necessarily need to be coupled with a second team to enter the NHL. His goal is for the Las Vegas franchise to win a Stanley Cup within eight years of entering the league.
