The Golden Knights official Twitter account issued an apology Saturday after accusing members of the Nashville media of cheering in the press box during Friday’s game at Bridgestone Arena.
In a since-deleted tweet, the Knights posted, “the other team scored and reporters covering their team started clapping :/”
The Nashville chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association objected to the tweet and issued a statement following the game.
“We take exception to the irresponsible tweet copied below. It’s disrespectful to our credentialed media and we would like a public apology and retraction from the Golden Knights’ Twitter account,” the PHWA chapter of Nashville wrote.
