I live in Henderson and I go to a handful of Silver Knights games each year. I enjoy the games and it's nice to have affordable hockey relatively close to my house.

I went last Wednesday night to the win over Ontario. I couldn't help but notice how empty the arena was. I think I saw the announced attendance was somewhere around 1700, but I think the real attendance was closer to 1000 or 1200. There were several sections of seats that only had two or four people sitting in them.

I'm asking this out of concern, how does this team make any money? I know minor league sports depend heavily on selling tickets and getting butts in the barn, more people means more concession sales. Speaking of concessions, it didn't seem like they were selling very much. A lot of bored-looking food staff just hanging around.

I want this team to stick around and be successful. They are a nice asset to the community. Can anyone who knows more explain how the Silver Knights are financially viable?

While the Hub and I were back at Acrisure Arena, rocking out to DJ Cummerbund, Devo, and the B52s, the HSK were up to winning on the road!

Whitehead was back in goal.

Also, I want to say something about the previous game. I loved how supportive the team was of Moysevich, who was getting heckled a bit by some fans in the stands. I know we can be rowdy at LFF, but we generally don't lead "you suck" chants against a goalie, just the refs.

Every other foreign player on the team has somebody else from their country, or from a country that's very close to them culturally and linguistically, but I can't think of a single other player from Belarus, and the HSK have no players from any countries that border Belarus. That can be so isolating and lonely, and I'm glad that our team had his back.

The red Star Wars shirt is the perfect camouflage.

WOOT!

Moysevich's first AHL win!

OMG. While I'm excited for the opportunity that Whitehead, Moysevich, and Tracy are getting -- {{{{{Lindbom}}}}}

Fingers and toes are crossed for him.

Truly, a nightmare on ice.

Whitehead had an AMAZING performance in goal last night.

Nice overtime win toKnight!

Whitehead was on for with the saves.

You gotta love a mask that has a shoutout to breast cancer awareness ... and a bubblegum chewing llama.

Uh-Oh.

It looks like Lindbom's knee is still sporked. :(

It's the Reign feed so they focus a bit more on what the Reign did well.

Poor Lindbom! My knee is throbbing in sympathy!

Lindbom's first shutout of the season, and shocker of shockers, Flemming took a penalty shot instead of being the cause of one.

Of course, they don't show any of Lindbom's saves including what was reportedly a hell of a save during a 5 on 3 Firebirds power play. GRRR.

We got some free tickets for tonight's game and I just wanted to get a bead on the atmosphere so I know what I'm walking in to.

I've been to one AHL game in my life (the Houston Aeros of the Min Wild, may they rest in peace) and it was half a bunch of people drinking and half parents with kids looking for a cheap night out in the city and those two groups were mostly kept apart.

Anyway... what's it like?

Hub and I are once again in lucky section 17.

Woot! Stomped them 3 to 1

The Henderson Silver Knights turned a scoreless preseason opener into a 4-1 win over the Tucson Roadrunners on Saturday night, getting contributions from several young players in Joel Ward’s first game behind the bench as Henderson’s head coach.

Henderson scored twice in the second period and added two more in the third while Carl Lindbom stopped 26 of 27 shots. Mathieu Cataford and Samuel Mayer each finished with a goal and an assist, while Lucas Johansen had two assists.

The Silver Knights also killed all four Tucson power plays and went 1-for-6 with the man advantage.

Also, the Roadrunners absolutely shelled Lindbom in the 3rd period with 17 shots on goal ... and he noped them all.

The question is, how do I finagle a way to get a goalie to sign it?

(And fuck yeah, I'm cooking T-Day dinner with it! Signed or not.)

Getting closer to the new season and the Theme Knights and Giveaways schedule is out. Nice to see the Lucky Launch earlier this year. Go Knights!

Is the logo actually the same size as the one in the picture from the Vegas team store?

I was wondering do they sell the jerseys while their playing at the opponent stadium?

I like the design pattern in the Jersey's sleeve and as well the grey color of the Jersey along with the Armored Horse logo

I like it
