Vegas Golden Knights announce 2025 road trip with free Hockey clinics for kids

The Vegas Golden Knights are packing up and heading out again this summer — and they’re making more stops than ever. Their annual VGK Road Trip, presented by A1 Garage Door Service, rolls through California, Nevada, and Arizona from July 12 to 17.

The six-day swing blends hockey clinics, community events, and good old-fashioned fan engagement, especially in areas where the team’s games will now be aired on Scripps Sports and KnightTime+ during the upcoming 2025–26 NHL season.

Vegas Golden Knights to host free youth clinics and fan events across Arizona, Nevada & California this July

This isn’t just a summer publicity blitz — it’s become part of the Vegas Golden Knights' identity. The organization has made Northern Nevada a regular summer stop, and this year marks yet another return to both South Lake Tahoe and Reno.

But it’s Arizona that’s quickly becoming a major extension of VGK territory.Since the league expanded Vegas’ broadcast reach last season, the team has made three trips to Arizona — and they’re going back for a fourth. Stops in Chandler, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Phoenix are locked in, with free on-ice clinics for kids as young as five and girls-only sessions mixed in. Ball hockey events in Phoenix are also planned, opening the door for more kids to jump in without needing skates, fancy gear, or prior experience.

Chance the mascot, team broadcasters, and members of the VGK Cast will be along for the ride — giving fans a chance to interact with the people (and characters) they usually only see on screen or from the stands.

“The VGK Road Trip is eagerly anticipated each year as we look forward to connecting in person with our fans across The Realm,” team president Kerry Bubolz said. “This is a great chance to celebrate our brand and the sport of hockey as we prepare for the 2025-26 NHL season.”From Tahoe’s mountain rinks to the desert heat of Phoenix, this year’s VGK Road Trip is more than just a chance to shake hands and take selfies. It’s about building something real — growing the game, strengthening community ties, and turning casual observers into lifelong hockey fans.Also Read: Alfons Freij impresses in pro debut — Winnipeg Jets’ top prospect faces major SHL test next
