Golden Knights' Pickard invites fans to design new Vegas mask
A move from Denver to Las Vegas means Calvin Pickard needs a new look.

"All I really want to see is some creativity. Knights, horses, castles, dragons? Drawbridges? I'm open," Pickard wrote on the Golden Knights' website. "I might even take different elements of different people's suggestions and combine them and turn them over to my artist. Although if someone really knocks it out of the park with one sketch, I might do that, too."
Fans can enter the contest through the team's official website. The winning entry will be given the opportunity to take a picture with Pickard.
While it's unknown how much ice time Pickard will see next season behind expected starter Marc-Andre Fleury, fans of the Golden Knights should get at least a few opportunities to witness the winning design.
The Golden Knights' first home game comes Oct. 10 against the Arizona Coyotes.
