The Las Vegas Golden Knights have officially announced their rookie roster and the players in the 2024 Rookie Camp. Rookie Faceoff will take place in Los Angeles, California. Prospected players from the Anaheim Ducks, Colorado Avalanche, Seattle Kraken, the ambiguous Utah hockey club, San Jose Sharks, and of course, the Los Angeles Kings will all battle on the ice.
Forwards To Watch
Golden Knights manager Kelly McCrimmon, announced on September 2, 2024, the rookie schedule and roster. The twenty-six-player roster, comprised of two goaltenders, seventeen forwards, and seven defensemen has promising players. Highly anticipated success envelopes this upcoming 2024 Rookie Faceoff for the Golden Knights as Vegas hopes to have a bright and successful Rookie Camp this year. A few eye-catching players are Trent Swick, Artur Cholach, Carl Lindbom, and Matyas Sapovaliv.
New rookie, Trent Swick, the left-wing twenty-year-old was selected 180th overall by the Golden Knights in the 2024 NHL Draft. This year was Swick’s last year of draft eligibility. After not hearing his name the previous two years, Swick was notably ecstatic at the opportunity. Center, Matyas Sapovaliv, drafted in 2022 by the Golden Knights, is also a key rookie to watch. Sapovaliv raised the CHL Memorial Cup after he and his team, Saginaw Spirit (OHL), won the major junior’s championship last season. The question is, will he hold a Stanley Cup anytime soon?
Players to Watch on the BackLine
The Ukrainian, Artur Cholach, has officially become a rookie after his selection in the 2021 NHL Draft. Cholach, a skilled defenseman, is looking to make his name in the pros. The turmoil in his home country has most certainly affected this young player. Supported by his family back home, Cholach has continued to push through barriers in his career and country. After stepping on the ice in many countries, and playing for many leagues, he will wear a VGK Rookie (Vegas Golden Knights) jersey.
Carl Lindbom the rookie Swedish goaltender is another player to watch. Drafted by the Golden Knights in 2021, Lindbom will make the United States his second home, second to the net, this season. The shorter goalie, standing at a clean six foot and one hundred and 165 pounds, makes up for his smaller stature with his agility in the crease. The rookie is expected to impress during the 2024 Rookie Faceoff, adding to the team’s arsenal of goaltenders.
Final Thoughts
These rookies have a lot to prove in this year’s Rookie Camp. Stakes are high in this upcoming season. With a vicious last NHL season, and big skates to fill in the Golden Knights roster, the rookies can not afford to be fanning on the puck. The stakes are high, but these players to watch have not had an easy road to the NHL. War, consistent disappointment, and other tragedies have refined these players and added determination and gumption to the rookie line. What’s left to see, is if these players can step into the skates, and earn the title of a Vegas Golden Knight.
