Established in 2017 as an expansion team, the Vegas Golden Knights hold the distinction of being Las Vegas' inaugural major sports franchise. They currently compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Pacific Division in the Western Conference. They are owned by Black Knight Sports and Entertainment which is led by Bill Foley and the Maloof family. The team plays its home games at T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada.

Remarkably successful as an expansion franchise, the Golden Knights achieved immediate success by qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs in their first four seasons and reaching the Stanley Cup Finals in their inaugural season. Their impressive performance included 13 playoff wins during the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals, setting a record for the most victories by a team in their inaugural postseason run. The team also has minor league affiliations with Henderson Silver Knights of the AHL and Savannah Ghost Pirates of the ECHL.

Vegas Golden Knights Stanley Cup History-

The Vegas Golden Knights secured their first Stanley Cup championship in the 2022–23 season. In the playoffs, they triumphed over the Winnipeg Jets, Edmonton Oilers, and Dallas Stars in the first three rounds.

The Western Conference Final against the Stars was a rematch of the 2020 series, with Vegas emerging victorious in six games. The Golden Knights faced the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Finals, clinching the title in five games, including a dominant 9–3 victory in game 5. This win marked not only the franchise's first Stanley Cup but also Las Vegas' inaugural championship in any of the major North American sports leagues.

Jonathan Marchessault, the playoff goals leader, earned the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player. The victory aligned with owner Bill Foley's prediction of "playoffs in three, cup in six," achieving the championship goal in the franchise's sixth season. Vegas became the youngest team to win the Stanley Cup since the NHL's major expansion in 1967, surpassing the previous record set by the Philadelphia Flyers in 1974.
