When the Vegas Golden Knights returned to T-Mobile Arena on Friday, Nov. 23, it was more than just a homecoming after a three-game trip. Nate Schmidt made his return to the home fans after serving his 20-game suspension.

Fans welcomed Schmidt back to The Fortress with a surprise…

Every fan in attendance received a Nate-on-a-stick and, when Schmidt took the ice, he saw his face all throughout the arena.

Vegas was also got the win for the night against Calgary so his homing coming was a huge success. Schmidt had a great time, all 20,000 of him.
