Vegas Golden Knights championship parade expected to rival New Year's Eve on Strip, planners say - - washtimes
Las Vegas police prepared Friday for upwards of 100,000 people to cram viewing areas along Las Vegas Boulevard for a celebration that planners were comparing to annual New Year’s Eve fireworks shows that in past years have drawn estimates of 400,000 people. Unlike a winter midnight, evening temperatures are expected to be in the 90s.
The team played its first game at the arena as an expansion franchise in October 2017 - just days after a gunman unleashed the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, killing 58 in one night at an outdoor country music concert. Team owner Bill Foley famously predicted that first year the Golden Knights would make the playoffs in three years and win the Stanley Cup in six years. The franchise surprised many by making the playoffs the first year and advancing to the championship before losing to the Washington Capitals in five games.
Marchessault is one of the six original members of the Golden Knights expansion team. He and the others - Reilly Smith, William Karlsson, Shea Theodore, Brayden McNabb and William Carrier - were among the first to hold the Stanley Cup during post-game celebrations.
