Golden Knights' Practice Facility Expected To Be Top-Flight Compared To Other NHL Teams

In five months the Golden Knights will open their 146,000-square-foot practice facility, a building "so impressive and modern that it instantly gives the expansion franchise a better facility" than most of the NHL's other clubs, according to Jesse Granger of the LAS VEGAS SUN. Golden Knights Senior VP Murray Craven said, "People will be very excited when they get here and it will be well worth the wait." Golden Knights officials believe the $25-30M practice facility will "play a huge role" in forming a "competitive team." A players' lounge will have a breakfast and lunch buffet prepared by an in-house chef, as well as "couches and recliners, video games and flat screen televisions." One wall of the team locker room will be "covered with murals of the Golden Knights’ primary and alternate logos." Two standard hockey rinks "take up the east half of the building." Each will be "equipped with stands to seat 450 people for recreational youth and adult hockey leagues." The building also has 10 "public locker rooms, including one for women and one specifically for the UNLV hockey team, which will play its home games there." Above and between the two hockey rinks "will be a 9,000-square-foot restaurant with a center bar." Golden Knights practices also "will be open to the public," and the facility will have a 4,000-square-foot pro shop. The second floor will also "be the home of 20,000 square feet of office space" for team execs (LAS VEGAS SUN, 3/24).
