#VGKWorldwide February Fan Of The Month

Although #VegasBorn and raised, today Jimmy cheers on the Golden Knights from Singapore. When he heard of the team’s plans for VGK Worldwide, he knew it was meant for him.

“My job takes me all over the world, and I want to represent our team everywhere I go.”

Jimmy lived in Las Vegas up until 2015 and had always been a hockey fan, but without an NHL team to follow passionately. He has called himself a Golden Knights fan ever since the team was formally announced.

“I never really felt that connection like I do to the Golden Knights,” he said. “I finally have a team from my hometown that I can connect with and call my own. It is an amazing feeling.”

Through his NHL TV package, Jimmy is able to watch games in Singapore despite the significant time difference. Without hesitation he calls Marc-Andre Fleury his favorite player and even watched him while in Pittsburgh with the Penguins.

His favorite moment as a fan is an inaugural season memory that is still seen frequently on replays today.

“Definitely when William Karlsson scored the short-handed goal between the legs against San Jose.”

Jimmy has already been to multiple games, including a playoff game during the inaugural season, but expects to visit his hometown again later this year.
