The city’s new professional women’s hockey franchise has a name at last, giving Las Vegas another major sports identity as the league builds toward its debut season.
Las Vegas’ expansion Professional Women’s Hockey League franchise now has a name: the Vanguards. KSNV reported the league unveiled the identity just 10 hours ago, giving the city’s newest pro team a brand as it prepares to take the ice.
The announcement matters beyond hockey. Las Vegas has spent the past decade turning itself into a year-round sports market, and a women’s pro team adds another layer to a roster that already includes the Raiders, Golden Knights and Aces. For newcomers sizing up the valley, it is another sign that live sports here are no longer a novelty but part of the city’s core identity.
KSNV did not include a venue, schedule or ticketing details in its report, but the name reveal is an early marker in the franchise’s rollout. It also gives fans and local businesses something concrete to rally around as the league moves closer to launch.
Details & Information: The team name was announced by the Professional Women’s Hockey League, according to KSNV. No arena, ticket link or season schedule was included in the report.
