Long before the NHL arrived in Las Vegas, hockey was involved in generating revenue for charitable causes.
Area firefighters who love the game were no exception. Five years ago, they started a charity game featuring pro players with ties to the area along with skating firefighters from Southern Nevada to raise money for children who couldn’t afford to play.
Their efforts have raised more than $40,000. But things might be changing.
The firefighters are looking to partner with the Golden Knights to help promote the game and allow more people to attend. Discussions are ongoing to move the annual game, scheduled for 5 p.
