On Tuesday 13th, the Golden Knights announced an exclusive six-year partnership deal with the D Las Vegas at a press event at the Fremont Street Experience. <\/p>\n

Las Vegas\u2019 First Ever Pro Sports Team<\/h2>\n

The Golden Knights is Las Vegas\u2019 first ever major league sports team which came to fruition after the NHL decided to expand and settled on Vegas as the city to host a new team. The only requirement was that the organizers must come up with a $500 million fee in order to get into the league. <\/p>\n

The Golden Knights become the 31st NHL team and will participate in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference from the beginning of the 2017-2018 season. The team\u2019s home arena will be the brand new T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, which was built earlier in the year. <\/p>\n
