Maverick will be trained by the Knights and America’s VetDogs, a nonprofit organization that provides service dogs to veterans in need.
His name was selected from among thousands submitted by Golden Knights fans.
Maverick will make his first public appearance at T-Mobile Arena on Thursday during the Knights’ game against the New York Rangers.
Maverick is also the president of the free-to-join VGK-9 Club. The new club was created for dog-loving Knights fans. He will also appear at select home games, City National Arena practices and other events.
A previous version of this story gave an incorrect date for the Knights’ game against the Rangers.
