S2 Ep104: The Next Version of Vegas: Kelly McCrimmon on the Golden Knights’ Next Chapter

John Shannon and Daren Millard open 100% Hockey by remembering Barry Melrose and reflecting on his impact on the game, particularly his years at ESPN and the role he played in helping grow the NHL’s profile in the United States.

John then sits down with Vegas Golden Knights General Manager Kelly McCrimmon to discuss an offseason of significant change in Vegas.
McCrimmon talks about the roster turnover facing the Golden Knights, including the trade that sent Pavel Dorofeyev to the New York Rangers, and the challenge of maintaining the organization’s identity and expectations as important pieces move on.

The conversation also turns to new head coach Ryan Craig. McCrimmon explains why Craig was the right choice for the job and reflects on a relationship that stretches back decades, from Craig’s playing days in Brandon through his years developing as a coach within the Golden Knights organization. They discuss the importance of continuity, communication, and maintaining the culture Vegas has worked to establish.

With training camp approaching, McCrimmon also looks ahead to the challenges of preparing the Golden Knights during a shortened camp and preseason schedule, while discussing the role families and organizational culture play in building a successful team.

The interview closes on a personal note as McCrimmon reflects on his late brother Brad, his impact on Kelly’s life and hockey career, and the memories that remain 15 years after his passing.
