"Smith's has made it a priority to put community first, just like the Golden Knights," said Vegas Golden Knights President Kerry Bubolz.

The player patches will give our great fans another creative way to Knight Up and show their support for the team."
"We have a limited supply of these collectible player patches, so fans of the Golden Knights should jump on this opportunity to collect all five patches before supplies run out," said Bryan Sant, Smith's Vice President of Merchandising.
Smith's will also host food drives in collaboration with the Golden Knights, will be featured in the team's in-arena branding and will have a Smith's branded Zamboni at City National Arena.
