Zach Whitecloud and Knights clinch Western Conference title

First Nations hockey player Zach Whitecloud and the Vegas Golden Knights are headed to the Stanley Cup finals after soundly defeating the Dallas Stars 6-0 on Monday, May 30, to win the National Hockey League’s Western Conference title.

Whitecloud, Sioux Valley Dakota Nation, will be facing Brandon Montour, Mohawk, and the underdog Florida Panthers, a role the Cats have enjoyed throughout their surprising playoff run.

But no matter who wins, the Stanley Cup will be visiting a First Nation in Canada this summer. As is the annual tradition, each player on the winning team gets to take the cup home for a day.
