Hey folks! Guess what? The Vegas Golden Knights are teaming up with developer Agora Realty and the city officials of North Las Vegas to launch an awesome youth hockey program! This exciting initiative will take place at the two preserved ice rinks where the Fiesta Rancho hotel and casino used to be. How cool is that?
But wait, there’s more! This youth hockey program is just one part of the redevelopment of the 73-acre site, which is now called Hylo Park. The site will be transformed into a fantastic space that includes shopping, entertainment, commercial areas, and residential housing. It’s going to be a happening place!
Now, let’s talk about the main event – the youth hockey program. The Vegas Golden Knights, who are the Stanley Cup champions, will be managing the ice arena and programming. They already have successful programs in Summerlin and Henderson, and now they’re bringing their expertise and resources to North Las Vegas. How awesome is that?
The youth hockey packages will include eight-week sessions where kids can learn essential skills like skating, stickhandling, shooting, and passing. And here’s the best part – the packages start at just $145! That’s a great deal for all the fun and learning that will be happening on the ice.
Now, I know what you’re thinking – what about affordability? Well, the Vegas Golden Knights have got that covered too. They will be offering scholarships to help families cover the cost of skates and gear. So, no worries there!
City Manager Ryann Juden mentioned that the city leaders have a great working relationship with the private sector, comparing it to peanut butter and jelly. They made sure to consider the needs of the residents in the area before demolishing the casinos. They decided to preserve the ice rinks and a parking garage, which turned out to be a fantastic decision.
So, get ready, North Las Vegas! The Vegas Golden Knights are bringing their passion for hockey and their dedication to youth development right to your doorstep. It’s going to be an incredible opportunity for kids to learn and grow in the sport. Let’s lace up those skates and hit the ice!
