LAS VEGAS - Wayne Gretzky’s trade to the Los Angeles Kings in 1988 gave hockey a massive boost of mainstream appeal in the United States. Gretzky is joining another prominent Canadian athlete, two-time NBA MVP and Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash, as part owners of a National Lacrosse League expansion franchise in Las Vegas. “You can’t replace that sort of go get ‘em passion that he has,” Gretzky said Monday at a launch event in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas team will play at MGM Resorts International’s Michelob Ultra Arena, which is inside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
