The Golden Knights are packing nine days with more than hockey this November, turning the stretch from Nov. 11-19 into a full-blown valleywide celebration of games, community events and special fan perks.
Knights Hockey Week will feature five Golden Knights home games at T-Mobile Arena and three Henderson Silver Knights games at Lee’s Family Forum, giving fans a steady run of events across both clubs.
The opening night on Nov. 11 is Military Appreciation Knight, when the Golden Knights host the Utah Mammoth and honor active-duty service members, veterans and their families. Signed specialty jerseys will be auctioned, with the money going to organizations that support military families and veterans.
Cancer awareness takes the spotlight Nov. 13 and 14, with both teams staging Hockey Fights Cancer events. The Golden Knights will provide free health screenings and a mobile mammography unit outside T-Mobile Arena, while the Silver Knights will hand out branded sunshades to the first 1,500 fans.
There’s also a first look at the team’s Hometown Remix uniforms on Nov. 15, when Vegas plays the Vancouver Canucks. Two days after that, the Golden Knights will mark the return of Formula 1 with a collaboration that includes a team-branded race car and themed merchandise.
The schedule goes beyond the rink, too. Fans can take part in a free public skate at Lee’s Family Forum on Nov. 16, and the Silver Knights will host Cheers & Beers Night on Nov. 18, with $2 beers for fans 21 and older.
Throughout the week, attendees will find extra promotions, merchandise and food offerings, including $5.50 items on the refreshed VGK Locals Menu. The team will also hand out prizes during the celebration through its new mobile app.

Golden Knights Suddenly Face A Blue Line Problem Around Noah Hanifin
Noah Hanifins night ended early with an injury, a troubling development for a Golden Knights blue line that has already been asked to absorb some wear and tear. Hanifin has been one of Vegas more useful defensemen this season, helping in both ends of the game with his puck-moving and steady play in front of the net, so any extended absence would be felt well beyond one lineup card.
For a team that leans on its defense to support the goaltending and get the puck moving cleanly out of trouble, the timing is less than ideal. Vegas has been juggling blue-line health issues already, and Hanifins status now adds another layer of uncertainty to a group that was starting to look thin at the wrong time. [Read more 🡒]
Golden Knights Open Homestand With A Statement Fans Will Love
The Golden Knights opened their homestand with a convincing 4-1 win over Buffalo, a result that gave the building plenty to enjoy from the start. Adin Hill turned aside 28 shots to keep the Sabres from ever really settling in, while Victor Olofsson made his return from injury and fit back into the mix without needing the scoresheet to make his presence felt.
Vegas also got a big third period from Tomas Hertl, whose pair of goals helped put the game away and underlined how much depth this group can lean on when it is rolling. With Utah, Nashville, Vancouver and Dallas still to come on the homestand, the Knights have a chance to turn one strong night into something bigger if they keep stacking complete efforts like this.
