Las Vegas – Vegas Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy played and coached in three established NHL sports cities and two AHL cities, including Grand Rapids from 2001-02, before arriving in Las Vegas.
After the Golden Knights hoisted the Stanley Cup in the team’s sixth NHL season – and Cassidy's first as their coach – Sin City has become a two-time champion in less than a year after. The Las Vegas Aces won the WNBA championship last fall.
“Vegas has become a market just like all the other major ones now, slowly but surely,” Cassidy said Friday.
