The Vegas Golden Knights are leaning all the way into nostalgia for the first of their Season X Anniversary Knights.
The club said Wednesday it will celebrate “Welcome to Impossible Knight” presented by Circa Sports on Saturday, Oct. 10, when the Golden Knights host the Los Angeles Kings at T-Mobile Arena at 7 p.m. PT.
The night lands on the anniversary of the franchise’s first home game, played Oct. 10, 2017.
This one is built around the inaugural season, the year Vegas stunned the sport and became the most successful expansion team in professional sports history. It will also be the last time the Golden Knights wear the inaugural gray jerseys before those uniforms are retired from the rotation. Fans can expect Season I touches throughout the pregame and in-game presentation, and the first 10,000 fans will receive a commemorative puck, echoing the giveaway from that first home game in 2017.
The throwback weekend starts before puck drop. The Golden Knights have scheduled practice for Friday, Oct. 9 at 11:30 a.m.
PT at City National Arena, with members of the 2017-18 team set to meet fans and sign autographs. The team noted that practice is subject to change.
Saturday’s pregame festivities include Fan Fest, presented by Raising Cane’s, from 4 to 6 p.m. PT at Paramount+ Plaza.
Former members of the original team - Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Oscar Dansk, Cody Eakin, Deryk Engelland, Brad Hunt, James Neal, Ryan Reaves - along with first head coach Gerard Gallant, will talk about the path from the 2017 Expansion Draft to the doorstep of a Stanley Cup. Fans will also be able to get autographs and have a chance to receive a jersey from former players in attendance.
Historical artifacts from the club’s inaugural season will be on display as well. Fan Fest is free and open to the public, and attendees can enter for a chance to win tickets to “Welcome to Impossible Knight.”
A limited number of tickets remain available. The next Anniversary Knight is “Vegas Born Knight,” which will honor Seasons II-V on Wednesday, Dec. 16 against the San Jose Sharks.
