Being the most recent addition to the National Hockey League, most would have expected the Las Vegas Golden Knights to experience all the struggles of new teams. However, the Vegas Knights thrived in their introduction to the NHL. Populating a Facebook page of 360K, a Twitter of 445K, and an Instagram of over 650K, the Knights have extended their fanbase beyond the Vegas area. Being located in Vegas, the tourism business allows William Foley (owner of the Knights) to organize different events in order to intrigue these tourists to watch the Knights play.

The Success of the Vegas Golden Knights

Posted on by Rahul Bendre

The Vegas Golden Knights have played one complete NHL regular season and are already making the franchise’s first appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals. They’ve built a brand out in the desert of Nevada. Historically, expansion teams in American sports struggle in their opening years like the Toronto Raptors, Vancouver/Memphis Grizzlies, and Houston Texans. However, the Golden Knights have broken the curse.

In the 2017-2018 NHL season, their inaugural season, the Golden Knights boasted an astonishing 51 wins, securing the top place in the Pacific Division, and a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Currently, they are up 1-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals against the Washington Capitals. This situation begs a few major questions. How did the Vegas Golden Knights accomplish so much in their first season of NHL play? And what are the implications of their success?
