The Existential VGK Questionnaire is a set of questions offered to players, coaches, management and broadcasters. Based loosely on Proust’s Questionnaire it combines hockey and Vegas topics for a unique look into our people. Look for new editions throughout the season.
This edition centers around Noah Hanifin. Hanifin came to the Golden Knights ahead of the 2024 Trade Deadline in a deal with the Calgary Flames and signed an eight-year contract extension to stay in Vegas through the 2031-32 season. In his first full season as a Golden Knight, Hanifin has recorded 21 points (6G, 15A) and has played in all 51 of the team's games. It didn't take long for the Boston native to become a popular player among fans and in the locker room. His long-time friendship with Jack Eichel helped him gel with the team whose crest he will wear for the next eight seasons.
