LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The Vegas Golden Knights showed some love to the hometown kids on Wednesday.
The hockey team hosted the Summerlin South Little League team at a preseason game against Colorado.
During a break in the action, T-Mobile Arena played a clip of the team winning the U.S. championship and showed the squad on the big screen.
Summerlin South defeated Fairfield National but fell to Chinese Taipei in the world championship game.
Maybe the kids were a good luck charm — Vegas defeated Colorado 2-1 thanks to a game-winning third period goal from William Karlsson.
