By this point, all of the Golden Knights Nation know about Deryk Engelland’s Las Vegas roots. His wife is a Southern Nevada native and from 2003-2005, Engelland was a gritty, physical defenseman for the Las Vegas Wranglers. But most importantly, Engelland’s simple, yet emotional statement on October 10th united himself and his teammates with the city of Las Vegas.

“Like all of you, I’m proud to call Las Vegas home… I met my wife here. Our kids were born here. I know how special this city is. To all the brave first responders that have worked tirelessly and courageously through this whole tragedy, we thank you. To the families and friends of the victims, we’ll do everything we can to help you and our city heal. We are Vegas Strong.” – Deryk Engelland on October 10, 2017

On Saturday, August 4th, the Latin Chamber of Commerce hosted the La Oportunidad Expo “Back to School” Fair at the Boulevard Mall in Las Vegas. The event helped students welcome in the new school year with fun, culture, and school supplies.

The Adam Kutner Cares team attended the event and distributed school supplies to the many children that attended. Not only did several groups of children and their families attend the event, but many community leaders came to support these students as they go back to school.

Over the weekend, the Vegas Golden Knights announced they had come to terms with William Karlsson, a restricted free agent. The star center penned a one-year contract through the 2018-19 season. “Wild Bill” got a well-deserved raise from $1M to $5.25M per season, setting himself up for an extended deal next summer.

“I’m happy to have my deal and we don’t have to speculate other things. I want to prove that I can do it more than just once. Hopefully I play good and can look at a longer deal in the future.”-William Karlsson, VGK Center

It seems like it’s been forever since Vegas ended their season. Luckily, we’re only 70 days until the Golden Knights first game against the Flyers on October 4th. So, while we continue to wait, and wait, and wait, let’s look ahead to a few key matchups.

Although the Vegas Golden Knights did not win the Stanley Cup, we want to give a giant thank you to the team for bringing this city together and giving the entire sporting world an unforgettable and historic inaugural season.

It was about five minutes or so after the Stanley Cup Finals had ended. The arena was quiet, the players had their heads down, and the Washington Capitals continued to celebrate their proudest accomplishment. It may have Brayden McNabb, but some player broke that silence with a stick lift to the fans. His salute was matched with thousands of Golden Knights fans applauding their favorite team.

Project REAL is a non-profit organization that helps teach students in K-12th grade the importance of the law. The goal of the organization is to prepare Nevada’s children to become involved, participating citizens who understand their social responsibilities and rights. Through various programs, students are given the opportunity to learn about the judicial system, review controversial issues and the rights and responsibilities.

Game 2 began with an energetic performance by Las Vegas band Imagine Dragons. The fans were so pumped up by ID’s rendition of their hit “Whatever it Takes.” The players must’ve heard the raucous crowd, as it didn’t take long for them to get going.

The Real Deal James Neal stepped up first the Golden Knights with a nasty shot past Brayden Holtby for the first score of the game. Washington’s goaltender had no chance, as Neal’s pinpoint accuracy hit to the top right corner of the net taking the early 1-0 lead.
