or texting "VGKMilitary" to 76278. Warm-up pucks will also be for sale after the game begins, with a limited number available inside T-Mobile Arena outside of Section 11.
A portion of the proceeds from Saturday night will benefit the Folded Flag Foundation which serves Gold Star Families. Additionally, the 51/49 Raffle will be used to benefit the Folded Flag Foundation.
Prior to puck drop, a veteran will be recognized for their service as they stand beside Golden Pipes during the National Anthem for the "National Anthem Salute to Service" presented by Veteran Benefits Guide. Following the anthem, military members from Creech and Nellis Airforce Bases will crank the siren to begin the game.
During the game, fans are invited to Sections 9 and 10 to pick up and fill out "I Salute" signs to honor the service of men and women in their life. Fans will also have the opportunity to take a photo in front of the team's Military Appreciation Knight backdrop with their signs.
Vegas' Military Appreciation Knight is a continuation of efforts by the Golden Knights organization to show their support for the armed forces. This past Saturday, members of the Golden Knights staff visited the 1-221 Cavalry Squadron at Nevada Army National Guard at Clark County Armory, the only combat Army unit in Nevada. Kerry Bubolz, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Alain Monroy, former US Captain and current Director of Global Partnerships presented the unit with a custom jersey with the name CALVARY on the back and a hockey stick signed by Golden Knights players. The following day, in celebration of the Nellis Air Force Base's "Aviation Nation Air Show," representatives of the Golden Knights visited the US Air Force Thunderbirds stationed at Nellis AFB. The Thunderbirds were also presented with a custom jersey reading THUNDERBIRDS and a stick signed by Vegas players.
Fans can purchase their own Golden Knights military themed hats and jerseys prior to Saturday's game at The Arsenal at City National Arena or at The Armory at T-Mobile Arena.
