By Norm Clarke - Las Vegas Reveiw-Journal -2 July 16
"The suspense should end in September.
All signs point to that as the time for the unveiling of the team name for the Las Vegas entry in the National Hockey League.
Owner Bill Foley hinted on June 22 he might be wavering on the team name he favors. That was the day NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced Las Vegas was getting a team.
“I love Black Knights,” Foley said at the news conference. “I’m an Army guy, but maybe that’s not the right name for this team as this time.”
He’s probably heard and read reports that the fan base isn’t wild about Black Knights. No small consideration: Las Vegas’ first major professional sports team would be adopting Army’s team name in an Air Force town" [???].

So with saying that, I propose we hold our own Poll to decide what the new Team should be named (logo & jersey Poll will follow
in Sept 16).
