Marco Angioni used to be the odd man out in his own home, just because he wasn’t a hockey fanatic.
He didn’t exactly dislike hockey . But, as a sports fan who grew up in Las Vegas, he never had a chance to follow his own pro hockey team.
Then came the Vegas Golden Knights, and, like the target of an incantation delivered by a medieval wizard, Marco became — alakazam! — a pro hockey fan.
It’s a feat of magic taking place all over the valley, as the NHL’s newest team — and Las Vegas’ first major league team — creates legions of hockey fans where once there were none.
