Vegas-Florida Stanley Cup Final shows the value of street hockey in many US markets
Music blared from speakers outside the Vegas Golden Knights' practice facility while kids ran around with hockey sticks, batting a ball into a couple of nets. A similar scene played out a week later steps from the Florida Panthers' arena before Stanley Cup Final games, with young fans playing inside an inflatable rink underneath palm trees. The final between Vegas and Florida showcased the benefits of ball and roller hockey in many U.S. markets, with or without professional teams, where ice is hard to come by.
