So we all heard talks about this, but yesterday it became
official as the NHL announced its plan to place it's 31st team in the
Las Vegas. Sin city has Bill Foley to thank as he tireless campaigned for the expansion
since December 2013.
This was by far a landslide victory for as the league
unanimously voted in favour of the decision. Bill Foley even said the
livability in Las Vegas will easily become one of the top 3 livable cities
after the expansion. The reason because is because Las Vegas has no State
income tax, low property taxes and affordable housing.
It will definitely be interesting to see how to community of
Vegas reacts to having their first National Sports franchise team….ever. The
Vegas team doesn't even have a name or a logo yet. But Foley has said both of these will be
announced this fall. One rumored name is
the Las Vegas black knights. But political correctness might opt for him to
drop that one from his shortlist.
With approximately 42 million people visiting Vegas annually,
it's no doubt that a few of them will catch a quick Hockey game while they're there;
unless they've already gambled there ticket buying money away.
