The Henderson Silver Knights are an American ice hockey franchise from Henderson in the state of Nevada , which will participate in the American Hockey League (AHL) from the start of the 2020/21 season . It acts as the farm team of the Vegas Golden Knights from the National Hockey League and plays its home games temporarily in the Orleans Arena in Paradise .

history

The Vegas Golden Knights from the National Hockey League (NHL) cooperated in the second-rate American Hockey League (AHL) for three seasons with the Chicago Wolves . Due to the large distance between the venues, the Golden Knights acquired the rights to the San Antonio Rampage in February 2020 and received approval from the AHL to relocate the team to Henderson , Nevada . The team is thus a direct successor to the Tidewater / Virginia Wings , the Adirondack Red Wings and, most recently, the Rampage.

At the end of May 2020, the new name, Henderson Silver Knights, and the logo were published. Both the name and the logo, shown in silver and black warhorse , refer to the identity of NHL teams from Las Vegas. The team will initially play its home games in the Orleans Arena in The Orleans , a hotel and casino complex in Paradise , not far from the T-Mobile Arena , home of the Golden Knights. At the same time, the Lifeguard Arena will be built in Henderson , which will be the permanent home of the Silver Knights after completion.
