Golden Knights president Kerry Bubolz believes the only thing standing between many kids and a love affair with hockey is an introduction to the game.
He hopes the team’s latest initiative helps continue to serve as a matchmaker.
The team announced Monday a third tier to its youth hockey development program thanks in part to a five-year commitment from D Las Vegas CEO Derek Stevens.
“We really believe once kids get exposed to hockey, they’re going to love the game,” Bubolz said after a brief ceremony at City National Arena. “The biggest barrier is generally cost, so we’re trying to eliminate some of that and make the game accessible to every kid that wants to try the game.
