The Vegas Golden Knights have been the story of the NHL since entering the league in 2017, weaving a fairytale story fit for Hollywood and winning plaudits from hockey fans all over the world after making a magical run to the Stanley Cup Final in their inaugural year.
However, they will have to take a backseat in 2021-22 when Seattle will become the NHL’s 32nd and newest franchise after being approved unanimously by the National Hockey League’s Board of Governors back on Dec, 4, 2018.
Although they have yet to come up with a name for the franchise, or set the organization’s identity with team colors etc, the appetite for hockey in Seattle is real with fans snapping up Season Tickets at such a rate that the franchise met the NHL’s 10,000 Season Ticket deposit in just 12 minutes, which is a pretty remarkable feat in itself.
