NHL franchise for Vegas
Print Edition
THE National Hockey League’s Board of Governors voted unanimously on Wednesday to approve an expansion franchise for Las Vegas, making the league the first to put a major professional sports team in the resort city known primarily for gambling.
The decision to award a 31st franchise, which will launch in the 2017-18 season, was announced by Commissioner Gary Bettman and marks the NHL’s first expansion since 2000 when Columbus and Minnesota began play. Bettman also said the board decided to defer Quebec City’s application for expansion due in large part to the volatility of the Canadian dollar.
