The full proclamation can be found below:

WHEREAS, it is the policy and pleasure of the Board of County Commissioners to recognize and honor organizations that bring joy and excitement, and enhance the quality of life in our community; and

WHEREAS, the Vegas Golden Knights made sports history with the most successful inaugural season for any new professional sports team; and

How many players on this team actually from Vegas? or from the stat of Nevada?

That would be zero. Between Nevada and Arizona the only player I ever heard coming out of the desert is Austin Mathews...I'm sure there are more, but Mathews is the household name from the desert.

I think Winnipeg can play better, they still have another gear. Vegas will be better on Monday night, I think they were just overwhelmed by the crowd and noise. BellMts is a tough place to play and win in, unless your Nashville. Vegas got jumped on early and never recovered.

Vegas will have a tough time with the bottom two lines of the Jets. Those two lines played between 12 to 14 minutes last night. That's a recipe for disaster for Vegas as they will wear down as the series goes along if this continues. Vegas played an average of around 5 or 6 minutes.

I was at another forum earlier discussing the playoffs ... I had to leave ... some other poster was tryng to convince me Ovechkin is not a top 50 player, today or all-time. Ovie is gonna cruise past 700 career goals + by the time he retires ... and remember he is playing in an offensively challenged era. What would he have done in the high flying 80's, maybe 1000 goals.

I am really starting to appreciate Winnipeg ... what a great job the GM and coach have done. Paul Maurice played junior hockey in my town.

No he isn’t home much during the season. I travel through Windsor frequently. My son got a football scholarship and plays for the University of Western Mustangs in London.

Western has a really good football program. What position? You must be so proud. Windsor Lancer does not have a great football program. They have a very good Woman's Basketball program. I believe they were national champs 4-5 years in a row. Congrats on your son getting a football scholarship to a fine football school ... plus they are well know for good education.
