LAS VEGAS — The expansion Vegas Golden Knights hit the ice for the first time Friday morning to a standing-room only crowd at City National Arena.
Sixty players were divided into four groups for two training camp practice sessions that included a pair of scrimmages.
“We’re a new group, it’s not like you’re coming back to a team like when I was in Florida and 19 of your players are returning,” coach Gerard Gallant said. “This year it’s all new players. I can’t put the face with the name yet. I’m probably going to call them the wrong name a few times on the ice, and they’ll sort of laugh and giggle and we’ll get to know each other and we’ll work hard and have fun.
