Building a team like it’s a business?
Then you have to build for the future.
The foundation of a fan base is its kids.
And LVSportsBiz.com photographers Erik John Ricardo and Daniel Clark captured some marvelous kid photos this season.
It’s amazing how many kids attend Golden Knights games. Erik captured this photo Saturday.

Daniel took this shot at the first home game. The wonder in the kid’s expression says it all.

Parents take kids to Golden Knights games no matter the age. Erik took this photo at Saturday’s Golden Knights-Canadiens game.

And here’s my favorite biggest Golden Knights kid — sports-loving Joe Maloof. A great guy, with photo taken by Erik a few weeks ago.

And my favorite hard-core grown-up fan-kid is Shawn Hickey, who takes the knight theme quite literally. Daniel took this photo at the first preseason home game.
