It’s official. The NHL’s 32nd team (playing next season) has been named the Vegas Golden Knights, no Las. One of the worst kept secrets around hockey circles… although I still like Las Vegas Aces a bit better. This isn’t terrible, and the logo is pretty sweet. Just remember, there’s a team called the Blue Jackets… and we had one called the Thrashers.

Here’s a list of all the NHL team names and how they got their name.
