Progress being made on Golden Knights arena in Henderson

Construction crews are making visible progress on a Vegas Golden Knights community ice arena in downtown Henderson.

After completion, it will be the headquarters and practice arena of the Golden Knights’ newly purchased American Hockey League team.

Elected officials approved the arena, which will be called Lifeguard Arena in Henderson, in May.

It will be partially paid for with more than $10 million of public money.

The project is expected to be complete this fall, a Knights spokesman said.
