LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Former Bemidji State University Men's Hockey standout and Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud to be featured in in-depth, behind the scenes show 'VGK Orgins: Zach Whitecloud'. The show will premiere Monday, December 30 at 7 p.m. PT (5 p.m. CT) on KnightTime+, the team's official streaming service.
 
A trailer is available here. 
 
The 24-minute show is hosted by Daren Millard and produced by the Vegas Golden Knights Entertainment Experience and Production team. It features extensive footage and interviews captured in Whitecloud's hometown of Brandon, Manitoba and in a visit to nearby Sioux Valley Dakota Nation.
 
Never drafted in the Western Hockey League or the NHL, the 28-year old Whitecloud signed with Vegas as a free agent after playing two years with the Virden Oil Capitals in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League and two years with Bemidji State University. VGK Origins follows those stops as well as his year and a half with the American Hockey League's Chicago Wolves.
 
VGK Origins also explores Whitecloud's pride in his First Nations heritage, including his summer 2023 visit to Sioux Valley Dakota Nation with the Stanley Cup.
 
Whitecloud will join Millard on Monday's VGK Insider Show on FOX Sports Radio (98.9 FM and 1340 AM) in advance of the premiere. After the premiere, viewers on KnightTime+ can watch an exclusive interview with Whitecloud in his home taped immediately following his first viewing of the show.
 
VGK Origins is a series that highlights the path that Vegas Golden Knights players took to the NHL. It debuted in January 2020 with a trip to Marsta, Sweden to chronicle the background of forward William Karlsson.
