Becoming the first Las Vegas Golden Knight of all time has been a surreal feeling for 21-year-old Reid Duke.
“It’s been pretty crazy,” said Duke in our telephone interview. “I haven’t really had a chance to sit back and take it all in.”
After inking an entry-level contract with the Golden Knights, it would be an understatement to say Duke is excited about the opportunity.
“(Signing with Vegas has been) everything that I could have ever dreamed (of),” Duke said. “I’m a part of something so much bigger.”
Earning the privilege of an NHL contract didn’t come easily to Duke.
