Despite the Golden Knights’ policy on autographs at City National Arena being restrictive to adults, the fans understand why it was implemented. With fans packing the team’s practices and congregating outside the players’ parking lot seeking autographs and photos, the team decided to control traffic inside and outside the facility. Camping outside by the parking lot is no longer allowed. In addition, fans can only receive autographs inside the rink in a designated area by the player benches and there is an age restriction. Only those 14 and under are allowed access to the players.
