The Existential VGK Questionnaire presented by Las Vegas 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 on Wednesday’s during the season.
This edition centers around Jack Eichel. The forward joined the Golden Knights during the 2021-22 season and became a Stanley Cup Champion in 2023. Eichel leads the Golden Knights in scoring this season with 69 points (19G, 50A) and represented Team USA at the 4Nations Face-Off. The North Chelmsford, Mass. native has become a fan favorite in Las Vegas for his high-end skill, defensive prowess and fun personality off the ice.
