Dear Golden Knights fans and community,
As I sit down to write this letter, I am filled with thanks and appreciation for your steadfast support and love during my time with the Vegas Golden Knights. You have greeted me with open arms since the minute I came in Las Vegas, and I am very grateful.
Playing with the Golden Knights has been a tremendous privilege. The intensity at T-Mobile Arena, the sea of gold and black, and the fans’ fervent cheers create a thrilling and inspiring environment. Every time I step onto the ice, I am reminded of the pride and passion that this community represents. Your encouragement motivates me to give my all, game after game, and I am deeply proud to represent you on and off the ice.
This season has had its fair share of obstacles and achievements. Your unflinching belief in our team has served as a guiding light throughout. Whether we were celebrating a fantastic victory or rallying after a painful loss, you remained steadfastly committed to us. Your dedication embodies what it means to be a part of the Golden Knights family, and we are extremely lucky to have such devoted supporters.
I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my teammates, the coaching staff, and everyone behind the scenes who worked diligently to achieve our victory. The camaraderie and solidarity we have as a team are critical to our success. I am happy to skate alongside such skilled and devoted people, and we have met every difficulty with tenacity and endurance.
To the young fans who aspire to play in the NHL, I want to say this: your ambitions are within reach. Believe in yourself, work hard, and don’t give up. The encouragement and love I’ve received from this incredible community has taught me the value of endurance and determination. You are the future of our sport, and I am excited to see what you can do.
