Helsinki, Finland

This one's more of a personal endeavor since the Vegas Golden Knights don't have any current names of prominence on the roster. There's only Christoffer Sedoff from Helsinki and he's not projected to make the starting lineup. However, there have been notable names from past Golden Knights rosters.

That includes Erik Haula, who hails from Pori, Finland. He played two seasons in Vegas, scoring 29 goals and 26 assists in the inaugural season. He suffered a right leg injury that kept him out, getting surgery on his knee in December 2018. Haula was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes on June 26, 2019, for Nicolas Roy and a conditional fifth-round pick.

As far as the venue goes, it would be Helsinki Halli. The arena has a capacity of 13,349 and is in the heart of Finland's most illustrious city. There's also Nokia Arena in Tampere, which will host a pair of NHL games on November 1st and 2nd. All three cities have the perfect atmosphere for hockey in a European city. Golden Knights fans should come to any of these three cities for an authentic hockey experience.
