Fan with Down syndrome like ‘little brother’ to Knights’ Brad Hunt

The team was a nominee for Sports Team of the Year along with the Nashville Predators, the NBA’s Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors, Major League Baseball’s Houston Astros and Atlanta United FC of Major League Soccer.

Knights majority owner Bill Foley was nominated for Sports Executive of the Year. Other nominees are Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, Mark Lazarus of NBC Sports, Casey Wasserman, who led Los Angeles’ successful 2028 Olympics bid and Fanatics’ founder and chairman Michael Rubin.

In addition, T-Mobile Arena was a finalist for Sports Arena of the Year. The winners will be announced May 23 in New York.

@LadyStanley Unfortunately.... that article & list is behind a Registration Wall.... Playing peek-a-boo I see that the Preds' & Knights are up for "Team of the Year", Bill Foley "Executive of the Year" (as per your clip) & so on however.... I'm afraid you'll have to transcribe the Categories & Nominee's as we cant have our Members here playing "peek-a-boo" in order to review the full list uh?... No, no we cant. Will not do.

It's not a paywall, it's a crappy ad that doesn't look like it has a way to close it.

It says something like "not now" toward the bottom that will close the popup.

You never know, but the VGK might be up for an ESPY this summer as well (rather than or in addition to Stanley Cup champ).
