“When we started our initial ticket drive to bring hockey to Vegas and create the team we now know as the Golden Knights, it was obvious this community had all the makings of a great hockey city. That being said, the passion and enthusiasm our fans have shown us over the past three years is greater than anything we could have imagined. Now our fans can watch more hockey right in their backyard and keep a close eye on our players’ journeys as they advance through our ranks with the intention of achieving the ultimate goal: Becoming a Vegas Golden Knight.”- Bill Foley, Henderson Silver Knights owner and Vegas Golden Knights Chairman and CEO
Silver Knights Inaugural Season
The Silver Knights official first game was Saturday, February 6th. You can see their full schedule (which includes some changes) and all the latest news at the links. Plus check out their updated Television schedule here.
The Silver Knights continue their road trip and head to San Jose to take on the Barracuda at 5 p.m. PT on Tuesday night. Fans can watch the game on AHLTV and listen on 1230 The Game.
The Silver Knights will play their home games during the 2020-21 AHL season at the Orleans Arena, located at the Orleans Hotel and Casino. The Henderson Silver Knights and Orleans Arena are incredibly excited to welcome fans to Silver Knights games for the first time ever. Along with their partners at Boyd Gaming, the Henderson Silver Knights will create a memorable, best-in-class fan experience in one of the leading multi-purpose sports and entertainment facilities in the nation.
The Silver Knights will then move into their future home, the Henderson Events Center, located where the Henderson Pavilion once stood. The Silver Knights and the City of Henderson are currently constructing the Henderson Event Center, an enclosed multi-purpose venue with a capacity of approximately 6,000 where the Silver Knights will play their home games once completed.
This Event Center would build upon the enthusiasm Henderson residents already have for the Vegas Golden Knights and offer up a new, family-friendly pricing model combined with all the excitement, energy and pride of professional hockey. With the AHL in town hosting 34 games per year, Henderson will truly mean Hockey!
