The UNLV Rebel Hockey team made a historic run to the ACHA Division 1 Men's National Championship game but fell short, losing to Adrian College with a final score of 3-0. This marked the first time in the program's history that UNLV reached the national tournament final, following a 6-4 win over Central Oklahoma in the semifinals. The championship game concluded with Adrian College leading 1-0 heading into the third period, despite UNLV having a significant shot advantage of 32-19 through the first two periods, and was held at 6 pm PT. The event was part of a vibrant hockey scene in Las Vegas, which also saw the Vegas Jr. Golden Knights girls 14U AA team become the first female hockey program from Nevada to qualify for the USA National Tournament. Additionally, the Vegas Golden Knights hosted their annual Golden Knight Gala, raising nearly $1.2 million for the VGK Foundation, which supports local community initiatives.
