New episode of Beyond the Rink is now live.

In this episode, I sit down with Coach Mike Sims and his mom to talk about the history of hockey in Las Vegas — before the Knights, before the growth, and back when roller hockey was even more popular than ice.

This was such a special conversation about the early days of the game here, the families who helped build it, and the roots of youth hockey in our city.

📚🏒 What a great day sharing The Adventures of Maverick the Hockey Player with local families!

We loved meeting young readers, talking hockey, and showing kids that books and sports can go hand in hand. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table and supported the mission of the Jake Kielbs Hockey Foundation.

Because hockey has no zip codes. 💙

Nobody warns you how fast the hockey years go.

One minute they’re in 8U, and before you know it, they’re growing up right in front of you. Talking with Kenny Brooks about it really hit home for me.

New episode of Beyond the Rink is now live.

In this conversation, I sit down with Kenny Brooks, Hockey Director for the Las Vegas Storm, to talk about Storm’s goals, the purpose behind the upcoming golf tournament fundraiser, and why community support matters so much in youth hockey.

It was a great conversation about vision, leadership, and continuing to build opportunities for kids and families through the game.

Behind the Whistle: Coach Zach’s Nationals Nerves & Triumph.

Yesterday was an amazing day for our hockey community.

Thank you to every family who came out to our Community Gear Event at Elev802, and a special thank you to the families who drove out to donate gear for local players. The event was busy from start to finish, and we are incredibly grateful for the support.

A special shoutout to Lisa Rice and her son for helping us get the gear to Elev802 and for helping with the gear drive. Your time and support made a huge difference.

Because of this community, more kids will have access to the gear they need—whether it’s to stay in the game or just start playing the sport we all love.

At the end of the day, we may wear different jerseys, cheer for different teams, and come from different backgrounds, but one thing brings us all together: our love for the game of hockey.

The foundation may help create the opportunity, but it is the heart, generosity, and passion of this community that truly makes the difference.

Thank you for continuing to show what the Las Vegas hockey community is all about.
