The Golden Knights have been persistent in saying they will invest in youth hockey in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

Today, they took a major step in that endeavor, forming a partnership with the Nevada Storm youth hockey organization.<\/p>\n

The partnership will form a new youth hockey travel program \u2014 the Vegas Junior Golden Knights. The program will initially feature teams from the mite level (8 and under) through midget (16 and under) and will utilize all three city rinks, including the Golden Knights practice facility, the Las Vegas Ice Center and the SoBe Ice Arena at the Fiesta Rancho.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a long-term commitment to growing the sport of hockey in our community, especially at the youth level,\u201d Vegas Golden Knights Senior Vice President Murray Craven said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nevada Storm organization has done an incredible job in the youth hockey space and we believe this strategic partnership will help take youth hockey in Southern Nevada to new heights in terms of participation, interest and quality,\u201d Craven said. \u201cWe hope kids in Las Vegas will be proud to share the same Vegas Golden Knights name, colors and logos as our NHL players.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the partnership, all 11 of the existing Nevada Storm teams will be rebranded as the Vegas Junior Golden Knights.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are really excited to partner with the Vegas Golden Knights and the opportunity to take Nevada youth hockey to a whole new level,\u201d said Las Vegas Ice Center owner and Nevada Storm founder Kirk Brooks.<\/p>\n

A seven-member executive board will oversee the program, headed by Brad Sholl, who was recently named general manager of the Golden Knights practice facility.<\/p>\n

Prior to joining the Golden Knights, Sholl was general manager of the Toyota Sports Center in Los Angeles from 2001 to 2016. The center is the training center of the Los Angeles Kings and Los Angeles Lakers. There, he helped develop learn-to-skate programs, the Lil Kings Program, and the LA Jr. Kings AAA program, where he served on the executive board of directors.<\/p>\n

Try-out dates for the upcoming season, as well as a complete list of coaches and teams, will be announced in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
