Bill Foley - Lifetime Hockey Fan

Although he grew up primarily in Texas, Bill spent his elementary school years living in Ottawa, Canada. There he developed a love for hockey, often playing in street pick-up games with other neighborhood kids. His passion for the sport continued to grow over the years and eventually led him to his vision to bring the first-ever NHL hockey team in Las Vegas.

Bill's success is not only found in his work with the community, but also in his many business ventures. Today, Bill serves in a variety of capacities for a wide array of business interests. Some of his major accomplishments include:

  • The Chairman of the Board for Fidelity National Financial and Black Knight Financial Services, and Vice Chairman of the board for FIS
  • A world-class vintner and the founder and managing partner of Foley Family Wines and the Foley Food & Wine Society.

  • Developer of the Rock Creek Cattle Company, a 40,000-acre working Montana ranch, featuring a high-end golf community with diverse homesteads, a well-appointed lodge for recreation and dining, and an exceptional golf course designed by Tom Doak.
