WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Nearly every game for the Golden Knights is a homecoming of sorts for at least one player.
It was Shane Hnidy’s turn to return to his old stomping ground Friday.
Hnidy, the Knights’ TV broadcast analyst, is a Manitoba native and spent the previous six seasons as part of the Winnipeg Jets radio and television broadcasts.
”It’s tough in a sense. You come back and a lot of familiar faces you miss, some close friends and family,” Hnidy said. “At the same time, I’m very happy where I’m at and loving the opportunity with the Vegas Golden Knights and the excitement it’s been this year.
