This is not another story about an expansion hockey team overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds while capturing the heart of a city.
This story is about a dog.
At home, Rick Williams’ 10-year-old Jack Russell terrier goes by Fenway. But when his dog’s shivery little legs shuffle into the Vegas Golden Knights’ practice spot at City National Arena, Fenway becomes Bark-Andre Furry.
The pet’s public persona, a nod to the Knights’ star goalie, Marc-Andre Fleury, started as a joke among friends after the NHL expansion draft last summer. Now Williams’ joke is growing into a social media sensation.
