Vegas Golden Knights Open New Ice Center in Henderson On Tuesday
By Alan Snel of LVSportsBiz.com
The Vegas Golden Knights’ empire in the Las Vegas market will officially include Henderson on Tuesday at 10 a.m. when the two-rink ice center in downtown Henderson opens.
It’s called Lifeguard Arena under a naming rights deal with the hotel janitorial cleaning supply company and it will be the training center for the minor league Henderson Silver Knights and a community ice center for the Henderson community. The VGK’s ice center in Downtown Summerlin, which is called City National Arena, opened in September 2017 and is the headquarters for the NHL team.
Kids with Battle Born Kids will take the first official skate on Lifeguard Arena ice at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday and Silver Knights head coach Manny Viveiros and some Solver Knights players will also be in attendance.
LVSportsBiz.com had a peak at the new ice center in June.
The Henderson Silver Knights retail shop at Lifeguard Arena, called, “The Livery,” will open at 10 a.m. This will be the first opportunity for fans to purchase the newly-released Henderson Silver Knights jerseys.
This is a separate community ice center from the 6,000-seat, $84 million arena being built at the site of the old Henderson Pavilion about seven miles away where the Silver Knights will play their minor league American Hockey League games.
