3 more Golden Knights road trips for the 2024-25 season
There's no such thing as too many road trips. Here are three more for Vegas Golden Knights fans to consider.
Remember when there was a post regarding three road trips for Vegas Golden Knights fans? It highlighted different places to explore, such as Salt Lake City and Calgary. After heading to the happiest place on earth last season, there are other notable dates to fit into the schedule. Therefore, it's time to save money, book a hotel, and hit the road.
With the NHL schedule released, it's time to put those plans into motion. The anticipation of traveling and seeing the Golden Knights play is already killing some people. After all, there's no such thing as too much hockey, especially in Las Vegas.
But you might ask the following question:
"Why go on another three road trips? Isn't three enough as it is?"
Never. The excitement of the new season is in full swing with the schedule's release. Imagine driving through the Mojave Desert to get to Los Angeles for a Golden Knights game. It would clear one's head after dealing with life's stresses. No more having to listen to the nagging boss (for now), for Vegas hockey offers an escape from reality.
That's why these three trips should also be on your calendars this upcoming season. They offer fans a chance to explore new worlds and try different things. In turn, these trips will change your perspective on life. So pack your bags and prepare your itinerary because it's time to travel to these three cities.
I'm going, going, back, back, to Cali, Cali (to Los Angeles, specifically)
So there's a tiny tradition that I have every Christmas. It involves packing up and going to California every year. Last year, it was the Bay Area, where I took in an NFL game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens. It's always a great trip that clears the mind where life slows down.
But there's one small problem. The Vegas Golden Knights don't play the Los Angeles Kings (October 30 and February 24) on the road around Christmas Day. It's the same thing with the Anaheim Ducks, where Vegas plays on November 13 and December 4 in Orange County.
Still, that February 24 date will be one to watch, simply because trips to Los Angeles are always fun. Ironically, I went to a game at Crypto.com Arena in 2022-23 around Christmas time (December 27, 2022). The Golden Knights lost, 4-2, and it was still a fun trip. This will be another fun Hollywood trip, especially in the cooler weather.
Seeing the Vegas Golden Knights on Broadway
Okay, so the Vegas Golden Knights aren't really on Broadway. However, they'll be in Madison Square Garden on February 2, 2025, to take on the New York Rangers. Getting to see one of the most famous arenas in the world should be on every sports fan's bucket list.
The truth is I've never been to New York in my life. The furthest east I've been in my life has been Surf City, North Carolina. That's it. A small beach town in the Tar Heel State which has plenty of delicious food. However, here's hoping that changes in the future with a Golden Knights game.
Going to Madison Square Garden and checking out one of the most famous arenas ever would be exciting. Plus, there's so much to do in New York that it would warrant a second trip. It's time to prepare myself for the hustle and bustle of one of the biggest cities in the world.
A later road trip to Vancouver... or two
The NHL schedule was kind enough (travel-wise) to put two Vancouver road trips at the end of the season. First, Vegas will head to the northwest on April 6, 2025, to take on the Canucks. Then, they'll return over a week later on April 16 for the final game of the regular season.
Now that I have my passport, it'll make heading to Canadian road games much easier. Whether it's going to Calgary or Canada's colder version of Los Angeles, it's a good getaway from normal life in the United States. After all, Canada is the home of hockey (although no Canadian teams have won the Stanley Cup since 1993).
In the previous post, Calgary was mentioned as one of the destinations for an away game. However, Vancouver is a more reasonable option considering this factor. Working from Wednesday to Saturday limits where one can go. Therefore, it'll have to be April 6 for a trip to British Columbia.
