The team began play in the 2017 -- 18 NHL season, and is a member of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League ( NHL ). The team is owned by Black Knight Sports & Entertainment, a consortium led by Bill Foley, and will play its home games at T - Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada.

The city has since hosted the Frozen Fury, a pre-season competition between the Los Angeles Kings and the Colorado Avalanche, and the NHL Awards ceremonies have been held in Las Vegas since 2009. In 2009, the media speculated about a plan involving Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer to move the team then known as the Phoenix Coyotes to Nevada. Rumors of a Las Vegas expansion team surfaced again in August 2014, pointing to a new indoor arena on the Strip ( built as a joint venture between Anschutz Entertainment Group, owners of the Los Angeles Kings, and MGM Resorts International ) as the potential home arena, although these rumors would be denied by the league. In November 2014, an unconfirmed report stated that the league had selected billionaire businessman Bill Foley and the Maloof family ( former owners of the National Basketball Association 's Sacramento Kings, and founders of the Palms Casino Resort ) to lead the ownership group for a Las Vegas expansion team. In December 2014, the NHL 's board of governors decided to allow Foley to hold a season ticket drive to gauge interest in a Las Vegas team, though league commissioner Gary Bettman also warned the media to `` ( not ) make more out of this than it is ''. The season ticket drive began in February 2015, with interested parties placing ten percent deposits for the 2016 -- 17 season. The drive drew 5,000 deposits in its first day and a half, and reached its goal of 10,000 deposits by April 2015. In June 2015, the league officially opened the window for prospective owners to bid on expansion teams. By this point, Foley had secured more than 13,200 season - ticket deposits. Two expansion applications were submitted : Foley 's application for a Las Vegas team, and a bid from Quebecor to revive the Quebec Nordiques at a new arena in Quebec City. Both Las Vegas and Quebec were invited to move into Phase II of the league expansion bid in August 2015, and subsequently advanced to Phase III. At the league owners ' meeting on June 22, 2016, in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas expansion bid was approved by a unanimous vote, with play to begin in the 2017 -- 18 NHL season. The team became the first major professional sports franchise to be based in Las Vegas, and the first NHL expansion team since 2000. Foley committed to pay the league 's $500 million expansion fee and began the process of hiring the team 's principal staff and determining its official identity. Foley announced that former Washington Capitals general manager George McPhee would be the franchise 's first general manager. On November 22, 2016, the name was revealed as the Vegas Golden Knights. Start of operations : 2017 -- present On March 1, 2017 ( coinciding with the league 's trade deadline ), the team completed its expansion fee payments and filings, making it eligible to formally begin operations such as free agent acquisition, and participation in league meetings. Five days later, the Golden Knights made its first personnel move by signing Reid Duke to a three - year entry - level contract. Duke 's junior team was the Brandon Wheat Kings of the Western Hockey League, a team that was coached and managed by current Golden Knights assistant general manager Kelly McCrimmon. He was later sent by the Golden Knights on a PTC with the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League. The team announced inaugural head coach Gerard Gallant on April 13. On May 4, the Golden Knights signed Vadim Shipachyov as their second player. On May 16, the Golden Knights entered into a multi-year affiliation with the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League for player development. On June 1, 2017, they signed forward Tomas Hyka, who played for the BK Mladá Boleslav in the Czech Extraliga. The team participated in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft on June 21, 2017, selecting an available player from all 30 teams in the NHL. The draft was held at the team 's future home venue, the T - Mobile Arena. The NHL Awards were also hosted on the same day, at the same location, prior to the draft. Some notable selections included goalie Marc - Andre Fleury from the Pittsburgh Penguins and winger James Neal from the Nashville Predators. At the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Cody Glass was the first player selected by the Golden Knights. Team information Foley 's original preferred name for the proposed team was the `` Las Vegas Black Knights '' -- in tribute to the Army Black Knights, his alma mater. When he hired McPhee, Foley stated that he was working with the league to determine a suitable brand for the team, but that `` it may not be until September that we have our name and logo. But when we do, that 's when we 'll have our big public celebration. We want to sell a lot of jerseys that day. '' He also admitted that his preferred name of `` Black Knights '' was unlikely due to various legal issues with trademarks, copyrights and domain names. For instance, even if West Point officials gave their blessing to using the nickname, the federal government would have had the final say. He registered a number of trademarks for potential names, some based on `` Knights '' and others based on `` Hawks '' ( the latter unlikely as it would likely clash with the Chicago Blackhawks ), admitting some of the trademarks were deliberate decoys. On October 4, 2016, Foley announced that the team would be known as the Desert Knights, Silver Knights, or Golden Knights. He told Yahoo ! Sports that his group already had `` clearance on those names '', and made their final decision in late August. On November 22, 2016, the name was revealed as the Vegas Golden Knights, excluding ' Las ' from the name. The team 's logo ( as well as its secondary logo and word mark ) was also revealed, incorporating a black V to represent Vegas. On November 28, 2016, a few reports were released stating that the United States Army were reviewing the rights to the name, as it has been used by their parachute team since 1959. The United States Patent and Trademark Office rejected the Golden Knights ' trademark application on December 8, citing an objection from the College of Saint Rose ; the team appealed the decision on the grounds that multiple other collegiate teams also use the name. On August 4, 2017, the team received news that the appeal was successful, and the team was granted trademarks for `` Vegas Golden Knights '' and `` Las Vegas Golden Knights ''.

Head coaches Gerard Gallant ( 2017 -- present ) General managers George McPhee ( 2016 -- present ) Media On April 12, 2017, it was announced that Lotus Communications Corporation had acquired the radio broadcast rights to the Golden Knights. Games air on KRLV 1340 / 98.9 Fox Sports Radio Las Vegas, and a weekly broadcast in Spanish will air on sister ESPN Deportes Radio affiliate KENO ; the team is only the third NHL franchise ( alongside the Chicago Blackhawks and Florida Panthers ) to offer Spanish - language radio broadcasts. KRLV broadcasts pre - and post-game shows, as well as a weekly talk show dedicated to the team. Games will be called by Dan D'Uva. On May 23, 2017, it was announced that AT&T SportsNet ( formerly Root Sports ) would be the exclusive regional television rightsholder for all Golden Knights games not exclusively carried nationally by NBCSN or NBC ( the latter being affiliated with KSNV in Las Vegas ). Golden Knights regional telecasts are available to viewers in Nevada, parts of Arizona and California, as well as Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. Carriage negotiations began to add AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain to local CenturyLink and Cox systems in Southern Nevada, which had previously not carried the network as it did not serve any local teams. CenturyLink added the channel on September 15, 2017, before the team 's first preseason game. Golden Knights games on AT&T SportsNet are called by Dave Goucher, who was formerly the radio play - by - play announcer for the Boston Bruins, and Shane Hnidy, who previously worked color for the Winnipeg Jets on TSN. In August 2017, it was reported via an internal e-mail that CBS Radio Las Vegas had, in retaliation for being outbid for the rights, instructed its stations ( including sports talk competitor KXST CBS Sports Radio 1140 ) to not cover or otherwise acknowledge the team on - air in any form. However, the broadcaster quickly reversed its stance after the resulting outcry, considering the decision to be an error in judgement. References Jump up ^ `` Introducing the Vegas Golden Knights ''.
