Furry has a full assortment of Golden Knights apparel, including a bandana and a pet-sized jersey. But his new jersey, which is infant-sized and was customized at the Golden Knights team store at City National Arena, has made him a viral sensation online.
"The personalized jersey came about as a result of local media attention and some prodding by Bark fans," Furry's owner Rick Williams told NHL.com. "With all the media attention surrounding the Golden Knights improbable rise, Bark has enjoyed more and more attention."
Williams rescued Furry as a nine-month-old and named him Fenway, after Williams' affinity for the Boston Red Sox. But when the Golden Knights selected Fleury in the expansion draft, Williams knew it was time to update his dog's moniker.
"It was clear Fenway would need a proper hockey name to reflect our support of the Golden Knights," Williams said. "Fleury being the highest-profile player, and the cornerstone of our team, it seemed a natural choice."
