Vegas Golden Knights President Kerry Bubolz knows who he’d like to see score the first goal: Deryk Engelland.
It would be “special,” he said, to have a longtime Las Vegas resident and the only player on the team with a history in Las Vegas make the first goal for the NHL’s newest franchise in Las Vegas.
Bubolz addressed an audience of around 200 state business leaders during his keynote Thursday at the Nevada Economic Development Conference, during which he said the brand is already having economic impact.
Bubolz said the Vegas Golden Knights employs 170 full-time employees, 70 percent of whom relocated, which translate to home sales for the area.
