VIDEO: Golden Knights Introduce Hockey World to Jousting on Ice and it Should Be an Olympic Sport
The Vegas Golden Knights introduced fans to a wild new event during an intermission break against the Buffalo Sabres. The team set up a jousting event in which participants charged at one another while riding tricycles and using a giant golden boxing glove as their weapon. Well, one Buffalo supporter was invited to have a go at this world-shattering activity, and he got absolutely rocked by the opposition.

The Sabres fan was rattled afterwards, and even looked a bit dazed after taking the massive boxing glove straight to the noggin.
This is an amazing Knights-themed event and one that needs to become a regular occurrence. Why not put it in the 2020 Olympics? Considering how entertaining this was with a pair of fans, watching world-class athletes speeding at each other on tricycles with lances in hand would be legendary.

Ice jousting is right on brand for the Golden Knights, and we're just hoping other NHL teams follow suit with similarly creative and entertaining activities during intermission.
