It’s expected to cost is $25 million to $30 million and will host youth hockey leagues and UNLV hockey, in addition to the Golden Knights.

“We are thrilled to partner with City National Bank on this endeavor, as City National shares in our vision of growing the sport of hockey in Southern Nevada and has a strong commitment to the community,” Foley said. “City National Arena will provide best-in-class amenities and programs for all skill levels and experience, regardless of age or gender.
