By Gary Lawless, Vegas Golden Knights Insider The Vegas Golden Knights needed a place to train and operate as a business. Vegas simply needed more ice surfaces. City National Arena stepped in to become the perfect solution for all.

Sometimes you hear the expression, “that’s his or her baby,” in reference to a project and its manager. City National Arena may be home to the entire Golden Knights organization but it will be Murray Craven’s baby for some time to come.

Craven was both the visionary and project manager for City National Arena. He thought it and he built it. And the Golden Knights came.

“We needed this for two reasons. First and foremost a home for our NHL team. Both the hockey team and the business team,” said Craven,” Golden Knights Senior Vice President. “Secondly, to grow the game of hockey in the city of Las Vegas both at a youth and adult level. Prior to this there were only two rinks in Las Vegas and they’re always booked. That’s the main reason hockey hasn’t grown at a pace to match a city of over two million people. This gives the game of hockey some more space to grow in Las Vegas.”

Two ice pads, state-of-the-art training facilities, offce space for 100, 58 TVs, a full-service restaurant, one hot tub, one cold tub, a running track, a weight room overlooking the , conference rooms, an omelet bar, medical areas, equipment storage, 600 pairs of rental skates, a pro shop and on and on.

“It’s new. Which is always great. And it has everything a player could possibly want,” said Craven. “Spaces for the guys to lounge, to eat, to learn, to dress, to train. Spaces for the coaches to learn and teach. It has technology and it has ice. It’s a space which we believe will attract players. They’ll want to come here in the morning and stay late. That’s always a good thing for a hockey team.”

Craven travelled around the NHL to collect ideas and then brainstormed with designers, architects, contractors as well as medical and equipment staff to fne-tune his vision.

Ten months and $30 million later and City National Arena was fnished in time for the inaugural Golden Knights training camp.

“It’s been a labor of love but it’s been a lot of work. I’m glad it’s done and I hope the players and staff enjoy it,” said Craven. “Supporting and helping to grow hockey at a grassroots level in Vegas is a big part of our mission here with the Golden Knights and this facility will go a long way in allowing us to make that happen. Hopefully it’s also a catalyst to a lot of wins on the ice for us as well.”
