LAS VEGAS -- The NHLs newest team is named the Vegas Golden Knights.Owner Bill Foley and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced the Las Vegas expansion franchises official name and revealed its logo and colors Tuesday night at a gala ceremony for about 5,000 fans outside T-Mobile Arena, where the Golden Knights will begin play next season.The Golden Knights logo is a simple front view of a fighting helmet with a conspicuous V in the middle. Their colors are steel grey, gold, red and black.Our logo and our name is really going to exhibit the highest element of the warrior class -- the knight, Foley told the crowd. The knight protects the unprotected. The knight defends the realm. The knight never gives up, never gives in, always advances, never retreats. And that is what our team is going to be.The NHL awarded its 31st franchise in June to this gambling mecca in the Mojave Desert. Foley is a billionaire businessman who sold the league on the potential of being the first major pro sports franchise in the growing market while playing in a new $375 million arena already constructed on the south end of the Strip.The franchise made its name announcement near an outdoor rink where young hockey players braved the 58-degree nighttime temperatures in Vegas desert basin. The ceremony endured technical difficulties when a video presentation refused to run, prompting Foley and Bettman to kill time.Bettman grinningly encouraged the fans to boo him, saying its a true indication that Las Vegas is a real NHL city.Believe me, we wont screw up the first game like we screwed up the video, Foley said with a laugh.Foley paid $500 million as an expansion fee to the other 30 ownership groups, and the West Point graduate strongly considered naming his team the Black Knights in honor of his Army roots.He changed his mind during the lengthy process of developing a brand and an identity for his team, but Foley kept a military touch in the name despite some local criticism for its lack of a connection to Las Vegas. Foley has said the team didnt want to include an overt gambling reference in the name, but also considered Desert Knights and Silver Knights.Fans chanted Foleys name when he stepped to the podium to make the announcement.Im very proud of our name, and Im very proud of our logo, Foley said.The team has been enthusiastically received in southern Nevada, which is getting the first major professional sports franchise in a market of nearly 1.4 million. Foley led a successful drive that landed several thousand deposits on season tickets months before the NHL officially granted a team to the city.The Golden Knights immediately began selling team merchandise at the announcement.

What will go down in history is not always clear at the time of an event. The Wales vs. Australia match played 50 years ago this week on Dec. 3, 1966 is unfailingly memorable for those of us of a certain age -- three days before my seventh birthday, it is the first international match that I remember.And Australias 14-11 win was recognised at the time as a great moment for the tourists. It had seemed an ill-fated tour. Captain John Thornett was struck down by impetigo and prop Ross Cullen sent home after a biting incident in the match against Oxford University, alienating team members like flanker Jules Guerassimoff who felt that the tour management had treated him badly.The results, starting with a 17-14 defeat by North Eastern Counties in their opening match, had been poor, with as many defeats as victories in the 13 matches before their first international. Defeats against Cardiff, London Counties and South of Scotland were followed in the week before the international by a 9-8 loss to a Swansea team otherwise experiencing one of the worst seasons in their history and a 12-3 defeat by Pontypool, Cross Keys and Newbridge. That display was reckoned by manager Bill McLaughlin to be the worst performance by any Australian team that I have seen, and probably in the history of the game.Rarely in sport, reckoned the Playfair Rugby Football Union, Had anything been reckoned as so much of a foregone conclusion. Wales, led by brilliant No. 8 Alun Pask, had won the last two Five Nations championships. And they had never lost to Australia -- or at least not to a team called Australia.There was the anomaly of the 1927 New South Wales Waratahs, who had toured Europe in Australias place when the other state unions were in abeyance. Known in Wales as the Wara Tegs after the Welsh for fair play, they had won 18-8 at the Arms Park in a match for which the WRU, like the rest of the Five Nations, had awarded full caps. Australia, though, did not regard it as a full international.The 1966 match saw Wales award four new caps -- at centre, outside-half, lock and back row. It was to be, the Playfair recorded, a magnificent match of open rugby which did a very great deal for the game, badly in need of some sort of fillip at that particular moment. The Daily Telegraphs Michael Melford acclaimed the most exciting international match in a long time.Australia led 9-6 at half-time in spite of conceding the first try to Welsh flanker Haydn Morgan, who by winning his 27th cap became Waless most-capped back row at the time. Wallaby outside-half Phil Hawthorne, who played much of the match with a fractured cheekbone, equalised with a drop goal -- these were still the days of the three-point try -- before Australian fullback Jim Lenehan, a veteran of their 1958 touring team, and Welsh counterpart Terry Price exchanged penalties. Then Lenehan, coming into the line, scored the try which gave Australia their interval lead.That advantage was extended to 14-6 early in the second half when wing Alan Cardy crossed for a try converted by Hawthorne. Wales hit back with a try from centre John Dawes, converted by Price, but were unable to close the gap in a furious finale.Welsh writer John Billot records that manager McLaughlin wept tears of pure joy at the end, overcome by a historic moment for Australian rugby. Playfair reckoned the key to their win was skipper Ken Catchpole, a scrum-half rated by infoormed critics like his All Black contemporary Chris Laidlaw as one of the greatest of all time, who was at his most commanding, and Australias attack were built on his quick and long passing.dddddddddddd.John Dawes was later to recall his astonishment at the pace with which Australia launched attacks from all quarters of the pitch and that the sheer speed of their interpassing took his breath away. Yet in spite of this foretaste of what Wallaby teams would offer on a regular basis from 1984 on, the tour continued to be a mixed bag.The Wallabies went on to lose to Scotland, Ireland, Western Counties, West Midlands, Llanelli and Munster and to drop three matches out of four, including the Test, in France. But there were also spectacular wins over England, highlighted by a hat trick of drop-goals by Hawthorne, and in a rousing contest against a powerful Barbarians teamTheir most memorable achievement was downgraded in 1986 when the Australian Rugby Union retrospectively awarded Test status to the Waratah matches of the 1920s -- although New Zealand continues to deny Test caps to the All Blacks who played against them.Of Wales four debutants, only the centre was still in the team at the end of the Five Nations. The Australia match was also the end for flanker Morgan, superb try or not, and scrum-half Allan Lewis, first choice for the Lions in New Zealand a few months earlier. Both, like skipper Pask, were Abertillery players. He too would be gone before the end of the season, and the Gwent valleys club has rarely since commanded selectorial attention.Nor would one of the debutants, Newbridge flanker Keith Braddock, reappear after being dropped following Wales defeat against Ireland, his third cap. It was a different story for the other three.The outside-half was Barry John, then with Llanelli, while the centre was Gerald Davies. Both rank among Welsh rugbys immortals. The lock was another Scarlet, Delme Thomas. He counts among the very, very good, and was an unusual debutant since he had already been to New Zealand with the Lions and played Tests as a lock and prop.All three would overcome this unpromising beginning to make immense contributions to the Welsh golden age shortly to come. John, dropped after one more match, became a fixed point after David Watkins went north in 1967, while Davies true greatness became apparent following his switch to the wing in 1969.Thomas, injured in the final trial a few weeks later, took a while to displace the long-established Brian Price, but by 1968 had become a dominant line-out presence in the tradition of Roy John. All three were also members of the 1971 squad which took the Lions to unprecedented -- and still to be emulated -- heights in New Zealand, while Thomas led the Scarlets when they beat the All Blacks in 1972.A fair few careers began in the 1966-7 season as Wales awarded 14 new caps. The historic tendency for most countries to bring in groups of new players at the start of each season or tour means that it is far from unknown for brilliant international trajectories to have a shared starting-point. But rarely have three such luminous careers begun for the same team on the same afternoon. Fifty years on, it is far from clear which of Australia or Wales should regard this match more fondly. ' ' '
