This same organization will now be sharing an arena with a PWHL team, and many women’s hockey fans are not happy about it. Some people think fans only hate the Golden Knights because they signed Carter Hart in 2025 and continue to defend him. And yes, we are going to talk about that. But this goes way beyond one player. Since day one, the Golden Knights have built a reputation for disrespect — toward women, toward their own players and staff, toward the NHL’s rules, and even toward the media covering their team. And the worst part? They keep winning and getting rewarded for it. At this point, hating the Vegas Golden Knights is the one thing that unites all hockey fans. But this video isn’t just about dunking on the Vegas Golden Knights. I’m making this video because I love the PWHL, and I think it’s important to talk about what it means for the PWHL to partner with one of the most hated organizations in hockey. Here are 5 reasons why everyone hates the Vegas Golden Knights, and what that could mean for PWHL Las Vegas. edit as of May 28, 2026: at 12:00 I said “But group sexual assaults like the one in that occurred in 2018 are common.” but this was not technically ruled to be sexual assault.

I was really excited when PWHL Las Vegas was announced. I’m excited for all of the hockey fans in Las Vegas, and I personally think it will be really fun to travel to Vegas to catch a game. I think it’s awesome that the PWHL is expanding to an entirely new region in the Southwest. But a lot of fans have had a negative reaction to the PWHL partnering with the Vegas Golden Knights, and honestly, after doing the research for this video, I think that reaction is warranted and I have my own concerns. The Vegas Golden Knights have acted in the worst way possible, and yet they still got rewarded with a PWHL team. What do you think about PWHL Las Vegas? Let me know down in the comments!
