Locals pushing for NHL team in Las Vegas
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) — Future hockey players are hoping to one day soon to watch their hockey idols play at home at a new arena on the Las Vegas Strip.
“It moves at a rate that you have to be there live to appreciate it and understand it and when they do understand, they get hooked,” said Las Vegas Storm GM Gabe Gauthier.
However, before a new team even makes it to the ice, the NHL wants to make sure enough fans will be watching.
If you want to stake your claim on some season tickets, go to vegaswantshockey.com to put down a deposit on Tuesday.
Seats run as low as $20 per game, and up to $220 per seat at all 42 home games.
Gauthier hopes the public will put their money down and send a message to the NHL that Las Vegas wants hockey.
“They want to reach that goal of 10,000 and after that they can do other stuff like ticket packages and choosing your seat but they need that magic number of 10,000 tickets and if it exceeds that then all the best.”
