I continue to be impressed with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. He works hard for his bosses (team owners).
Bettman looked thrilled on Tuesday as the new Las Vegas team name was announced and the logo was unveiled.
The commissioner has never hidden his desire for a team in Nevada.
He continues to want to grow this game, not only geographically, but economically. He found an ownership group that could pay a $500 million expansion fee, and three
years ago found an untapped market (a market that no other pro sports league occupies).
Las Vegas Golden Knights majority owner Bill Foley says 13,800 season ticket packages have been sold. The market is a good
find.
This move makes the NHL’s American footprint larger, something which comes in handy when the league goes to renew its television contract.
More TV interest, means more sponsors which means more money for NHL owners. Everybody wins. The credit should go back to a commissioner who, again, works hard for his bosses.
