Army has that name and it's protected. I believe he asked for permission to use it as he is a former alum at West Point IIRC, but was denied use of it.

The logo is actually nice. The name is bad. At some point they'll pull an Anaheim and just become the Knights.

This 18 minute reveal video is 50% Bettman, and 50% video/technical problems.

Great idea. There are also USAF bases in Nevada (and many UAVs around the world are operated remotely from there). Although not sure if a drone operator counts as an ace.

uh, wait, will they be known as the Vegas Golden Knights? Am I late to this party? why the #### would they do that?

So the Las Vegas team is the "Vegas Golden Knights"

And Tampas team is "Tampa Bay Lightning"

America.

Silver Knights would have sounded so much better but it implies second place I suppose.

They should just drop the Golden from the name, its stupid.

Just call them the Las Vegas Knights.

Then they could come out to the ice to the Scorpions, Big City Nights
