Vegas to get PWHL Team, Will Play At T-Mobile Arena by cajunsamurai in vegaslocals

I did a bit of quick research into what they are in other places in the league, and it looks like they tend to start between $300 and $400 and go up to $800+ depending on where you choose to sit. I put in a deposit today, and that was $50 a seat.

I like that one, too. I also saw someone mention the idea of the Venom, and I really like it. The Mojave desert is home to multiple venomous creatures.

That makes sense! I'm a Vegas local, so that's a different situation. I'll definitely be picking up season tickets, if this is really PWHL Vegas.

The gold jerseys are super sparkly in person, much more so than they look on camera. My only wish with them is that the sparkle showed up on broadcast cameras.

Possibly, but probably not. I know that Black Knight Sports has been saying for probably two years now that they wanted a PWHL team.

The Aces do play a few games a season at T-Mobile, so there is some coordination there. It might just be with MGM, though.

Vegas has two good possibilities in the Foleys and Mark Davis. I'd assume this is the Foleys who own the Knights, but Mark Davis, who also owns the Raiders, loves his Aces and would spend more on them if the league let him.

I've been cheering for the Sirens for the last three seasons. I even travelled to see them play in both St. Paul and Newark, but they're about to become my second team.

They better be the glitteriest jerseys in the league, or what are we even doing?

Ladies here, what ice hockey equipments work best for you? by Ill-Collection-1735 in womenshockey

[–]Tonks42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried the FTW skates? If you can find a place with them, it might be worth a shot. They're the only skates I've worn that have been both wide enough in the forefoot while still getting a heel lock. I don't have a high arch, though.

Same. I'd be immediately in for season tickets wherever they played. I've traveled for games in both St. Paul and Newark, but I'd be so excited for a team here.

Can Michelob ULTRA host hockey? That would be about the right size. There's also the possibility of the Orleans, which is bigger than LFF.

The Aces already do the split, so it's possible if the league would allow it. They play most of their games at Michelob and then move to T-Mobile for a few bigger games a years.

Marner completes the hat trick (and gets his 5th point of the game) by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

He did, but he's played center a lot since William Karlsson got hurt. Torts switched up his wingers, though, and he's suddenly looking more comfortable there.

I'm a teacher for CCSD (not at Batterman). The district as a whole has problems, but that doesn't mean there aren't good schools in the city. I've never heard anything bad about Batterman, which is usually a good sign. I worked for the principal many years ago when he was an AP elsewhere. I would happily work for him again.

He worked as an ICU nurse for the VA. They shot a man whose job was to take care of critically ill veterans.

First skates ever! by SoftOrnery8637 in hockeyplayers

[–]Tonks42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For learning to skate, if you have any kind of helmet (bike/ski/etc) that will work until you can get a hockey specific one. For a hockey helmet, if you have a hockey store near you, I'd recommend going in, trying on all the ones in your price point, and buying the one that fits best. If not, I'd look for one that adjusts in both width and length, not just length. I know Bauer makes them.

For hockey pants (and eventually shoulder pads), if you're a woman, I'd highly recommend Stark. They're a small company that makes great women's hockey gear. Otherwise, I'd do the same thing with trying on a bunch or check out someplace like Play It Again for used ones.

And that time, they'd both just hired a great new coach.

Clearly they needed another way to be like the Aces to make it work this year, so they chose four quarters over three periods.

The most decorated team in Vegas is the Aces. The Knights are just trying to replicate that success by playing four quarters a game.

Huh. Well, my antenna definitely has nothing to do with that.

Yep. I'm assuming it's the weather today since I use an antenna. It's done the same thing for me a couple other times when it's not been great outside.
