((NOT) PUTTING THIS STORY ON ICE RICHARD GUBBE’S BOOK ON VEGAS HOCKEY! This week, Richard Gubbe, author (along with Robert Lawson) of “Vegas Hockey, Vegas Strong,” joins me on “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” https://lnkd.in/gXeNZhih & all your favorite platforms, including #YouTube (https://lnkd.in/gWt6mTCy). In this episode of “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Richard talks about the early days (and teams) of hockey in Las Vegas; what happened to the proposed hockey team that was going to be brought in by producer Jerry Bruckheimer in 2008; why promotion can help a team even if it’s poorly managed; how there were 30 failed professional teams in Las Vegas until the Vegas Golden Knights came along; how Bill Foley had the combination of skills and resources to establish a team in Las Vegas; why hockey is a sport that crosses genders; the most surprising thing he found out about hockey while writing the book; why the book is not just historical, but fun; how the VGK is a “fellowship”; and why motivation is the key to hockey success. #hockey #VGK #NHL #Vegas #VegasBorn QUICK CLIP (Richard on one of many reasons VGK is successful):
