VGK & HSK Honored for Game Presentation at IDEA Conference

VEGAS (July 11, 2023) - Two organizations in the Foley Entertainment Group (FEG) - the Vegas Golden Knights and Henderson Silver Knights - were honored at the 41st annual Information Display and Entertainment Association (IDEA) Conference Monday in Austin, Texas, taking home Golden Matrix Awards for the Best Overall Hockey Production (VGK) and Best Overall Minor League Production (HSK).

The teams are in contention for three more honors at Wednesday evening's IDEA Awards Gala: Best Overall Production, Best In-Game Feature (Coach Lil Jon) and Best Special Occasion (Reverse Retro Open).

"We are tremendously proud of the efforts of our Entertainment and Production teams to continue to innovate and entertain our fans at T-Mobile Arena and The Dollar Loan Center," said FEG President and CEO Kerry Bubolz. "The fan experience is at the heart of everything we do and it is rewarding to have that work recognized by a prestigious organization like IDEA."

The IDEA honors are the second and third in the organization's history after VGK won Best Mascot Video in 2020. Vegas has won the NHL's "Stanley" award for Best Game Presentation both times that it has been presented (2020, 2022).

The Golden Matrix Awards are presented annually at the IDEA Conference to recognize superior achievement throughout the event presentation industry and are voted on by peer organizations across the sports industry. The purpose of the Golden Matrix Awards is to recognize artistic, entertainment and technical excellence in the programming of large screen video and fascia displays.
