PWHL Las Vegas Hires Kim Weiss: The Emerald City Is Feeling A Rumble

Alright, Emerald City! You gotta hear this. While we're out here watching every single move in our sports world, the hockey universe ain't standing still. The PWHL's new expansion club in Las Vegas just dropped a bomb on Monday, naming Kim Weiss as their first head coach. Yeah, Vegas. Already making big, professional hockey moves before we even catch our breath. It makes you sit up and take notice, doesn't it?

Another Expansion Team Making Waves

Kim Weiss is no rookie to the ice. She most recently served as an assistant coach for the American Hockey League's Colorado Eagles. Las Vegas, a city that knows a thing or two about building winning franchises fast, is clearly not messing around. We know what it takes to build a team from the ground up right here in Seattle, don't we? Seeing a new organization like this pick up a coach with her resume, it just makes you think about how quickly things can come together in expansion sports.

The Rest of the League is Moving Fast

And while Vegas is making headlines, the rest of the sports world is going absolutely wild. Over in the NBA, can you believe the Knicks actually won the Finals? They beat the San Antonio Spurs in five games on Saturday night, and get this, their championship merchandise is already setting sales records. Seriously! The Chicago Bulls are also in the coaching market, reportedly hiring Tiago Splitter as their new head coach on Monday, after Billy Donovan stepped down back on April 21. Meanwhile, the Carolina Hurricanes just stormed past the Golden Knights in Game 6 to grab the Stanley Cup! That's it, the Cup is decided for 2026.

NFL Mini-Camps and MLB Grind On

And speaking of grinding, the NFL mini-camps are starting to roll across the league. George Pickens, that Cowboys wide receiver, reported for his physical on Monday and is expected to be at their mandatory minicamp. Other reports say the Broncos are signing UFL star wide receiver Hakeem Butler, and the Jets' guard Joe Tippmann is reportedly signing a four-year extension. Over in baseball, the Braves RHP Spencer Strider got good news, thankfully no ligament damage for him. The MLB season is in full swing across the league, with teams like the Athletics, Dodgers, Angels, Astros, Cubs, Rangers, Cardinals, Mets, Royals, and Marlins all set for action. It's wild to see all these pieces moving around the league, isn't it? So yeah, the entire sports world is buzzing. While Las Vegas makes their early hockey moves, and other leagues crown champions, we're here, watching every play, every report. We're always hungry for what's next for our teams. Keep those eyes peeled, 12s, because you know something big is always right around the corner for the Emerald City! We'll be here talking about it, every single bit.
