Ahead of Raiders coming to Las Vegas, legislator pushing bill to make ice hockey the official sport of Nevada

One snowfall in Las Vegas and this happens. Suddenly legislators want to make a winter sport the official sport of the state. Well, one legislator does. Chair of Assembly Judiciary Steve Yeager.

I somehow missed this but Assemblyman @SteveYeagerNV has submitted a bill draft request to designate "ice hockey as the official sport of the State of Nevada." #nvleg

It makes sense. I mean, who doesn’t look at Nevada and immediately think ice hockey? What with all those frozen over lakes and such.
