Veteran traveler Rick Braunstein gets the Golden Knights to their destination

Rick Braunstein hopes this is the last time he sees his name in the newspaper.

The next time he does, he knows it will be because something went wrong.

Braunstein, hired as the Golden Knights director of team services seven weeks ago, is responsible for getting the team to its road destinations. The 46-year-old native of Brooklyn, New York, is still getting to know Las Vegas, but he said he’s becoming a quick learner while relying on longtime contacts to get the team’s charter aircraft, hotels and other transportation booked for the upcoming season.

“So far, it’s been great,” said Braunstein, who held the same position with the Arizona Coyotes.
