Before morning skate even started Thursday, there were new faces hitting the ice at City National Arena, the Golden Knights practice facility in Summerlin.

The Knights held auditions over the past two days to select its ice crew and promotional team. Vice President of Entertainment Production Jonny Greco said the Knights went from nearly 200 locals to a final team of 40 split between the two crews.

The ice crew and promotional team serve as brand ambassadors for the Knights by interacting with fans, facilitating in-game promotions and attending offsite events to represent the organization.
