from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun,

You must be out of your (bleepin’) mind!”

It has been almost four years to the day when former NHLer Murray Craven uttered those words. At that time, Bill Foley, his golfing buddy and fellow cottager up in beautiful Whitefish Lake, Mont., had just informed Craven of his plan to pursue an NHL team for Las Vegas.

Craven’s reaction speaks for itself.

Some 48 months later, Craven can still vividly recall standing on his dock as Foley, who had pulled up in his boat, dropped that Vegas bombshell on him.

So much has changed since then. Foley is now the majority owner of a Vegas franchise that will begin play this fall at the beautiful T-Mobile Arena. And Craven is the team’s senior vice-president, his duties ranging from overseeing the construction of the franchise’s state-of-the-art practice rink to selecting toilets for the team’s dressing room complex. (Of note: He picked the models that are attached to the walls so it’s easier to clean the floors underneath).

All in the name of the expansion Vegas Golden Knights, an NHL franchise unlike any we’ve seen before.
