All signs are pointing to Las Vegas becoming the newest home of NHL hockey at some point in the next few years. Should that come to fruition, the team would call the Las Vegas Arena home. The arena isn’t finished quite yet, but it’s ahead of schedule and should be ready to host a a new franchise by 2017.
ESPN writer Arash Markazi toured the arena and offered a look at the progress.
