    Ahead of the 2024-25 NHL season the Las Vegas Golden Knights are heading to Mexico

    The Las Vegas Golden Knights are heading to Mexico in September ahead of their 2024-25 season.

    The hockey team will head to Mexico City, Metepec, and Monterrey for the “LosVGK en México” trip, September 6-10. This trip allows the Golden Knights to try and expand not only their fanbase but the game of hockey as well, something the NHL is always attempting to do.

    The trip is in collaboration with Mexican Ice Hockey Federation, Ice Hockey Workshops, and Fundación Dr. Sonrisas, helping to grow the game internationally.

    “In addition to the 225,000 people of Mexican heritage that already live in Las Vegas, our city also welcomes over half a million visitors from Mexico each year, second only to Canada,” said President & CEO Kerry Bubolz. “LosVGK en México is an exciting opportunity for us to reach new fans and share our passion for the great sport of hockey.”

    “We are thrilled to be able to have the Vegas Golden Knights in Mexico. This is a huge opportunity for all Mexican hockey players and an even bigger one for all Mexicans,” said Diego de la Garma, Head Coach of the Mexican National Ice Hockey Team and CEO of Ice Hockey Workshops. “This will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience with one of the best sport organizations in the world. It will definitely be something that families will remember forever and help Mexican hockey and the Bufalos organization to grow the game in Metepec and in Mexico in general.”

    “Since we launched the LosVGK brand last fall we have thought about ways to extend its reach beyond Southern Nevada, and there is no better way to celebrate the sport than to get sticks in boys’ and girls’ hands,” said Benjamin Thomas, Director of Latino Marketing and Outreach. “We are excited to make this trip a reality and share our excitement for the game and the Vegas Golden Knights. We hope to see lots of VGK fans at our September 8 Fan Fest.”

    The Golden Knights will open up the 2024-25 NHL season on Wednesday, October 9th by hosting the Colorado Avalanche. They will look to rebound after a tough exit in the playoffs last year and get back to their winning ways.
